With just about everything coming in a USB or USB powered version these days it can get quite confusing to keep them all straight. It also can be very difficult to control the power that is going to your devices with so many of them plugged in at once. This new USB Power Strip Switch Hub can turn off each port individually and the hub will come in either 5 or 7 ports. It is magnetic on the back allowing it to be stuck to metal surfaces and will retail for $40.70 for the 4 port version and $106.15 for the 7 port version. [CrunchGear]

It looks like a normal power strip, but the catch is that it features a 6 foot USB cord that connects to your computer which allows you to control the power consumption and powering down of all of the devices plugged into it.
