Now some bright spark geek has come up with these deeply clever, easy to use, and even cool-looking re-chargeable AA batteries.

All you have to do is simply plug them into the USB ports on your computer to charge them up, then pop 'em into your electrical gadget to use -The plus point, 10-25% greater capacity than NiCD batteries. No bulky and ugly chargers plugged into the mains with cables snaking about, and as a bonus they don't look nerdy! The green tops flip open to reveal a USB plug and the ends of the batteries glow a gorgeous green as they charge.

Medusa USB Hub




So, here it is. Nothing but cool.Wait, dont just fall for the good looks; it has utility and lots of it. This is the most stylish and best powered USB hub. The USB hub that everyone now needs because you’ve got more USB devices than your computer has USB ports. The story doesnt end here - this cool gizmo not only has USB ports, it also has Firewire ports as well. The cool Medusa USB from Thinkgeek.

A quick look at the specs: 4 USB 2.0 ports speeding at 480Mbps, 2 Firewire 400 ports at another 400Mbps.And there’s more! This ‘thing’ which really does kind look like Medusa’s head also has a mini USB Fan and a light. WOW!

Works with most of the OS - Win/Mac/Linux. A little more than the standard hub, but along with the Firewire, USB and the fan and light and the style, it is gonna cost you just a bit more. But think of the oohs, aahs, cool and wows you’re gonna get too!

Just to brush up your knowledge, Medusa was a mythical creature, a Gorgon woman with snakes for hair and was so ugly, anyone who looked at her would turn into stone. While we don't think anyone will turn to stone gazing upon this stylish and functional USB gadget (or maybe they will be stunned by the looks), we do think it would look awesome if each tentacle had a Master Chief USB drive plugged in, dangling in mid-air with their little USB heads missing.

USB Stealth Switch


Go Undercover as a Diligent Employee
We’ve all been there at one point in our working lives; in the middle of watching a hilarious video on YouTube involving a guy falling off a particularly tall filing cabinet, a hedgehog and a huge bowl of custard or for the matter of simplicity, -playing desktop games like Minesweeper or Solitaire. At that exact moment, your boss springs up from behind your shoulder to confirm their suspicions that you are not entirely focused on your job. Though the video may be different, this scenario plays over and over again in offices around the world. Well, you dont have to worry anymore about getting caught with the ingenious USB Stealth Switch.


This small but essential bit of office kit is a desktop cloaking device and instantly hides applications of a suspicious nature just at the press of a foot switch. Your offending browser isn’t just minimised, instead it is completely hidden from view. Not only does the Stealth Switch work visually, it can also mute sound which is great for tackling those annoying, noisy pop up ads.


The foot switch is the cleverest part about the design of this gadget, as you don’t need to fumble around with zooming your mouse towards every close-window button in sight. Nor do you have to ALT-TAB your way out of trouble. The cleverness of the foot switch means that you can be waving your hands over your head as a distraction before everyone looks back at your screen to see that Word or Excel Document you’ve been “working on all along…”


The Stealth Switch comes with a 6 inch USB cable and CD software. It is programmable to hide only what you want to, including browsers, Office Documents, download windows, instant messenger applications, video players etc. Just keep that intricate excel spreadsheet open in the background and you can suddenly become the most persevering worker on your team or at least make other people think you are.
