You know, I'm not one to pass judgments, but I'm not Ace Hardware. [
We already know most of what there is to know about USB 3.0—officially dubbed SuperSpeed USB—but today it's officially set in stone. To recap, with transfer speeds of 4.8Gbps, it'll dump a 25GB HD file in about 70 seconds, and the architecture has been beefed up with extra data lanes to make for more sustained, rather than bursty transfer speeds, making it better for camcorders and the like. Even though it delivers more power than USB 2.0 to charge gadgets faster (and it'll revive a completely dead one too), its new polling architecture makes it more efficient.
Tributaries has had a 
The age old conundrum of AC adapter bricks not fitting correctly on power strips has had many solutions lately, but this Socket Sense seems to be quite a clever one to add to the pile. It looks like a standard strip with the plugs offset at a 45 degree angle, but each socket can actually slide up and down the strip to accommodate larger or smaller plugs.
There have been many solutions to the problem of fat AC adapters clogging up your surge protectors (like 
As much as we loathe the thought of yet another kind of plug, we do like the idea of a universal one that'll hook up with anything like Paris Hilton but is energy efficient like Nicole Ritchie. The idea behind the green plug's a lot like the energy-saving chip 
The Bi-Plug is actually AC/DC, but gives it to you straight, simplifying the charging of USB devices in a flamboyantly colorful way. We've seen similar chargers 
We've seen our share of interesting power strips, but Tributaries' PWRS-T10 has five standard outlets and five twistable outlets that give you a good way to plug in multiple large AC adapters at once. Because each one of the five slots can be twisted at up to 90 degrees, you can position them at say, 0, 45, 90, 45, and 0 degrees so your plugs don't fight. In addition, there's also coax, RJ-11 (phone) and RJ-45 (Ethernet) cables to surge protect as well. No pricing on this yet, but we're guessing it's much more expensive than the $5 power strips you can pick up at Fry's. [
You read it right—we are going official with our favourite butt plug. Here is the complete run down of how it feels, what it does, where you can insert it and how much we love it. The power socket butt plug is made of hardened plastic, as such it has a tough plastic exterior; on the reverse there is a UK standard, 3-pin port connector. Once we got this into our power socket, with the help of an adapter, the buttock light illuminated. 
Smarthome's rotating power outlet may not be as neat as the
