Boynq Swing USB Hub Inspired By Newton's Cradle
Posted by Sean Fallon at 5:30 AM on August 21, 2008
You don't know what happens on your desk when you are out of the office. What if your 4-port USB hub is carrying on a torrid affair with your Newton's cradle? Well, the cat will be out of the bag if you show up to work one day and find a Boynq Swing USB hub sitting on your desk. Outside of the unique design, the Swing hub also features a DC power jack and surge protection for around US$24. [Buy.com (currently sold out) via Gadget Life via TRFJ via DVICE]

@Joolz: good point. I'll just use my crappy Belkin USB hub and buy a real Newtons Cradle!

@MrYuk: You don't actually plug things into it, how would they swing?! What is the point of being able to own a Newton's Cradle without the somewhat perpetual fun of staring at it?

Looks cool until you start plugging things into its udder... then it's just a big ugly unsightly mess!

Anyone remember that hanging flowerpot scene from Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead?
Loved that newton's cradle reference...

I just have to say, that is one of the shmanciest lookin' things I have ever seen! If I was going for the high-class look I would definitely get it... other than that I would have no use for it, but it is pretty!

Looks cool but doesn't look terribly functional. it's kind of large and the individual cables could be a mess to look at.
