As much as technology can be fun and sexy, we should always remember that it's really just a means to an end. That's why we like the magnetic USB hub — by keeping your USB connectors out of sight, it lets them do their high-tech work where you don't have to worry about it, saving valuable desk space at the same time. Putting your hub out of your field of view might be unsettling at first ("Where are my USB cables? Do I even use USB cables? What is this hole in my heart?"), but hey, who cares as long as everything works? Just be sure you have a metallic surface for the hub to cling to, otherwise you've just bought a $30 fridge magnet. — Peter Pachal
