It seems like I’ve been obsessed with owning a Beetle since birth and therefore love all things Beetle themed. I’ve ran into several other like me and this USB hub is proof that there are plenty of us out there. For the Beetle obsessed, this is just one more random Beetle inspired accessory to own. Thankfully, there never seems to be a shortage of these quirky little extras. Sadly these look more like the newer Beetles than the old. Which even owning one of the newer Beetles, I still prefer the classic ones. So this USB port gets a couple less points, but it’s still cute.
It’s probably going to appeal more to women than men, since it is kind of a girly car. It comes with cute eyes painted onto its headlights that light up. It also has a spot to insert business cards or just to hold your cellphone. Which would make it plenty useful. Each of the wheels is a hub to plug your USB gadgets into. The 4-port hub comes in either white or red and can be purchased on Gadget4All for $12.50.

In economics and consumer theory, a Giffen good is that which people consume more of as price rises, violating the law of demand. In normal situations, as the price of such a good rises, the substitution effect causes people to purchase less of it and more of substitute goods. In the Giffen good situation, cheaper close substitutes are not available. Because of the lack of substitutes, the income effect dominates, leading people to buy more of the good, even as its price rises...

Marketing students are always taught the genius of King Camp Gillette. He was the one who invented the safety razor with disposable blades. The razor (in this case, the "loss leader") was inexpensive; the profit was in the blades. This business idea is sometimes referred to as "freebie marketing." In 1903 — the first year the new razor was marketed — 51 razors and 168 blades were sold. Within a couple of years, Gillette had sold over 90,000 razors and some 12,000,000 blades. King Camp Gillette was born on this date in 1855.
Spanish king; other world leaders born on this date include Shah Jahan (1592-1666), Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967), Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1928-1979) and Walter Mondale (81)
