Wouldn't this be a pentapus?

@Zikman: If he splits a couple more, it will be an octopus!

Agree with Shellac; this needs to be enlarged to be a 7-way hub. Just 'cause. (I'd say 10-way and make it a squid, but I think anything over 8-way exceeds the cheapest off-the-shelf chips.)

They could add two more tentacles and a powered option. USB hubs should be powered! :)
