You know that 49-port USB hub (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/cambrionix-49-port-usb-hub-for-professionals-nerds/) you picked up last year? Sissy. Thanko just introduced an 80-port USB hub to charge all of your gadgets from a single location. Fantasy or nightmare? Well, first you have to consider the price: ¥14,800 (about $165) and the cabling chaos this will bring. Then you must know that the hub seems to charge your devices only: no USB data. And are you really man enough to handle the replusive stares that a device like this will surely invoke from your family and so-called friends? Who cares! When a gadget promises this:
"When viewed from the side of the port in line, you feel powerful and somewhat like a soldier in the army."
You'd be crazy not to want it. Gallery: 80-port USB hub makes you feel like a powerful soldier (http://www.engadget.com/photos/80-port-usb-hub-makes-you-feel-like-a-powerful-soldier/)
