This seems like a solution in search of a problem. Either that, or people really are dumber than I had thought.

Reminds me of those late-night ads for products that no one really needs. At least no normal human.

"Don't you hate it when your knives are too dull?" [Scene: woman somehow smooshing a tomato with the blade of a serrated knife.]
"Or too sharp?" [Scene: man accidentally cutting his hand off with a butter knife.]

USB ports are the thing that taught me that life is fundamentally unfair. Sure, I have a 50/50 shot, but it STILL takes three tries to get that farker in there.

Wait, why the fail tag? Those damn cables exist in their own dimension.

Why not just make the next USB square and able to work on all sides?

Likewise make the other ends square as well. And ditch proprietary connectors. Make one square computer/charger-side connector, and then make a USB-S for phones and tiny gadgets. USB-M for cameras, ipods, etc. and USB-L for printers and other peripherals. All square, all the same configuration, and insertable on all sides; just different sizes of the same thing. Take it a step further and make the USB-L size the same as the computer/charger side.
