e unum pluribus

Interconnectivity reaches new heights as Gizmodo shows an outboard USB hub with 31 outlets. Imagine the possibilities:

  1. Using your laptop to run coffee-warmers for a state banquet at the White House!
  2. Running enough gooseneck fans to divert a hurricane!
  3. Clustering a bunch of these USB powered manicure buffers and drilling a tunnel under Lake Michigan!

I'm sure you-all can come up with others.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
