GADGET|LaCie has a new desktop hub that looks like no other. The device has four USB and two FireWire connections, along with a USB fan and light. It can be connected to computers running Windows, Mac OS and Linux and allows up to six devices to be connected at once. Eight twistable, flexible cables allow easy connections to printers, digital-card readers and keyboards – the cables glow when plugged in. Additional hubs can be daisy-chained from the USB and FireWire cables for more connections. Orders for the $79.99 hub are being taken at lacie.com for shipment in January.|Gregg Ellman, McClatchy Newspapers
DON’T-MISS TV|While the major networks focus on President Bush’s State of the Union speech at 7 tonight (followed by the Democratic response), there are alternatives. How about “Big Fat Liar,” at 6 p.m. on ABC Family?|Joanne Ostrow
