Rotating USB hub is like a Rubik's Cube but
less Hungarian

rotating usb hub

This here USB hub rotates to let you plug your gadget of choice into it from any angle. It takes the brilliant Hungarian engineering that brought us the Rubik's Cube and combines it with the American love of freedom that brought us USB hubs. Or were those developed in Japan? Well, they love freedom as well, I'm sure. In any case, it has four ports, two of which rotate, and supports both USB 2.0 and 1.1. It comes with an optional AC adapter just in case you need to power some regrettable purchase via USB. It's available direct from our friends in Hong Kong, Brando, for $22 or $26 depending on whether or not you get an AC adapter. USA! USA! Thanks Falon for the tip!

UPDATE: The original version of this post misidentified the Rubik's Cube as being Russian in origin. After a learned reader pointed out our error, we slapped ourselves silly for a while and then corrected the reference.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. The Rubik's cube invented in Hungary and not in Russia as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube
