The Department of Redundancy Department asks, "So, this is powered by the Universal Serial Bus bus?"

I never did quite understand what the big concern about an extra wire is, the thing has eight ports for wires already - what's one more?

I actually own this, #2. Have had it for about 4 months, it works fine. I would have definitely avoided this at it's original retail price in the $60 range, but for ten bucks it's a bargain.

not just bad reviews, AWFUL reviews.
Though, most people did fine after returning the first one and paying shipping for the return....

Hey Ben, the shipped price on this is $20. Your price is when and if you get the rebate price. But then again, Carlos Slim didn't think he had anything to worry about by touting the after rebate price, either.
