USB Isolation

[Oleg] over at Circuits@Home has made a USB isolator for his hacking needs. This isolator separates the signal, ground, and power lines of a USB host device, such as a PC, from a USB device like a USB oscilloscope or logic analyzer. This might be useful for Keyboard sniffing, ECG, EEG or diagnosing the control system on the positive ground of your autonomous Ford 8N. What other applications can you come up with for this tool?

looks very impressive like most things from circuits@home.
USB audio adapters to get around ground loop issues would be my first idea.
Does this count as a hub when it comes to the USB extension limits?
