Take a good look at your desk. Chances are, in addition to your PC, you've got a smartphone, a tablet, an iPod or two, and/or an ultrabook or laptop as well. The average person owns a lot of devices these days and while you can easily share and sync documents, videos, links, photos, and music through the cloud, you're likely to find yourself switching between a keyboard and a mobile device quite frequently throughout the day to respond to texts or check your calendar, lists, or reminders stored in your phone.
ThinkGeek USB Power Strip
• $9.99
• Think Geek
A bit more geek than chic, I still admire the humor and utility of this 4-port USB strip miniaturized for use with your USB powered accessories.

In comes the MacHook from Workerman — a simple, sexy hook that uses nano-suction technology to snap onto the side of your iMac. More
How fickle our design affections are. Yesterday, the minimalist A4 mouse pad was the apple of our eye, but today we think we've found a new love, an bright-neon alternative with a smaller footprint more compatible with our tiny closet home office... More
