I don’t know of any 4 port switches, but I do know of at least one 5 port Ethernet switch that can be powered by USB.

It’s called the GreenHUB mini Switch from the folks at Clarinet Systems.

PW-105 Mini 5-port SOHO Switch
Environment-friendly device

The GreenHub™ PW-105 Mini 5-port SOHO Switch is unique due to it’s small size and low power consumption. It can be powered by a USB cable from your PC, or through the regular power adapter included. With it’s small size, the unit can be located unobtrusively on top of your desk making connection and disconnection easier and more convenient. Using a USB cable to power the unit from your PC saves you one power extension plug as well as reducing overall energy consumption. Low power consumption of no more than 4 watts makes the PW-105 an environment-friendly device.

Advantages

Mini size
Can be powered from PC’s USB port

I have no idea where you can buy one of these online, but they do have a listing of brick and mortar stores around the world you could possibly pick one up from. I also don’t know if anyone else is making a switch that can be powered by USB, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I’d especially expect to see such things available in Japan where they seem to be hooking everything up to USB.

Has anyone see a 4 port Ethernet switch powered by USB?

“Yep I think I will pass

Oh my! I see it now, sitting at work and a coworker walks by, “What is with the USB cord coming from between you legs, ? You giving birth to a computer or just that happy to see me?” 

Yep I think I will pass…

The general massage isn’t bad but I suck at one handed typing, hmmm maybe I could be come rich from creating one… ****ponderance,ponderance ***

Oh, and I don’t know about a chair massager, but I have found at least two different types of “personal” massager powered by the USB port. A general use one and one for more… intimate uses.

There’s a Firewire hub known as Hubzilla out there that looks like a variant on Godzilla you can plug your fireware devices into.

Jebus Christ!  I thought the GF Grille was a joke!!!  You can really get it!! 

I’m getting the Hello Kitty USB hub for my co-worker.. yup, he’ll love it
