    The cephalopodic PowerSquid series of surge protectors is welcoming three new models into its warm, rather slimy, embrace. The MSQ and MSQ-Pro are geared towards musicians and musical types and with its extra long tentacle power cord, inky black color-scheme, and Purestream power filtering designed to improve sound quality, how could they resist? Music not your thing? Wrap your arms around the Surge1000, with 1080 joules of protection, five power tentacles, 40 dB Purestream power filtering, coaxial and phone-line protection, available for $54.95. In case you're not sure if the aesthetic works for you, we'll politely inform you that the PowerSquid is included in the (admittedly large) electronics category in the 2006 GOOD DESIGN awards. Still not sure, you can always buy one, call it art, and see if it grows on you.

    This isn't exactly Mac news, but hey we Mac users are known for paying a premium for industrial design, and well need more outlets. The PowerSquid Surge protector seems like the ideal solution, or is it?Gregory Ng, reviewing it for Apple Matters, thinks it is and not just because of its unique looks. This thing will protect your equipment against a variety of surges, and isn't your Mac's safety worth a few bucks extra?
