We recently checked out TwelveSouth’s Fermata headphone stand which hides a micro-USB cable for charging wireless headphones. Today we’re looking at Satechi’s offering which brings with it a whole USB hub and audio passthrough.
If you’re going to make a finger-shaped souvenir for a horror video game, you’ve really got to sell the body part—a well-defined nail area, proper coloration and the like. The more you obscure a fake finger prop with unnecessary details, the more it looks like a horrifying dick.
We previously wrote about Anker’s PowerPort 5 USB-C, which, while a dream for MacBook owners, actually charged laptops pretty slowly. Now we’re at full power.
For whatever reason, Nintendo decided not to include a charger with its new 3DS handheld console. You absurdly have to buy one separately, or you could just spend $8 on this new adapter that lets you use your iPhone or iPad’s Lightning charging cable instead.
The days of having to wire up a complete replacement outlet to add a USB charging port will soon be long gone.
Update: The Anker deal expired, but iClever and Intocircuit are actually promoting a handful of very similar bundles today, at even lower prices. Check them out:
I'm pretty sure most of us plug more things into USB ports these days than actual wall outlets, so it makes a ton of sense to build USB chargers directly into our homes. Today, you can do it for just $20 per outlet, or about $5 less than usual.
USB data transfer is about to get a hell of a lot faster. The USB Promoter Group is rolling out SuperSpeed USB, a supplement to USB 3.0 due out later this year that should surge your speeds two-fold.

Ray Arifianto, who works on the Xbox Platform team at Microsoft, is getting married. He's got the nerdiest wedding ring to prove it.
Microsoft's official, over-priced USB drives for the Xbox 360 are on their way to retailers as you read this. So what do you get for your money?
Over the years sound has increasingly taken the back seat to the other important elements of a PC gaming experience from mouse and keyboard to the graphics and light-kits.
The standard Atari joystick was not designed for comfort. Or for gaming, really, if we are being honest. Retro cool aside, looking at it now it resembles something you would expect to find on a Soyuz mission control console. It is strange to think that there is now an entire generation of gamers who never had to…
If you game in an igloo and have a USB connection, have we got a gadget for you: Heated gaming gloves. Jack these babies into two USB ports and they'll warm your hands by another 10 degrees in five minutes. They have the cut-out fingertips to give you that hobo-warming-his-hands-over-a-trashcan-fire style. Considering…
Were you one of those folks that opted for the cheaper 20GB PlayStation 3 without the card reader and now regret that decision? Perhaps you picked up the 40GB version that lacks the card reader and only featured 2 USB ports in front? Sure, you could have a USB hub and a card reader dangling off the front of your…
