Once Halloween hits and up through Memorial Day, they’re always bundled up in many layers of sweaters and fleece and are huddled under blankets complaining that they’re “freezing”. Despite the fact that the environment is kept at 70 degrees thanks to modern heating technology, they’re always cold. Always. And they have no problems telling you about it as often as they can.

This is why USB hubs are essential to our way of life. Of course you can’t have one that’s just functional; you need one that looks good too.

Asus’ recently launched Eee laptop has garnered some pretty rave reviews all over, not only due to its design but bang for your buck as well. As the old (but true) adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Asus has reported that it plans to launch a desktop version of the Eee PC in the near future. Although no concrete release date has been assigned at this point in time, it could be much sooner than we think, quite possibly sometime next year. Just like the $199 gPC that is currently available at Wal-Mart, the Eee PC desktop will not come with a monitor but it ought to jostle for some respectable amount of sales in the ultra-value segment with an extremely competitive price point.
