[quote]USB cable developers have announced that a forthcoming version of the connector's plug is to be reversible.
It means users of the Universal Serial Bus cables will no longer have to worry which way round the part is facing when plugging it into a device.
The specification is due to be completed by mid-2014, and the first product on the market by 2016.
It will neuter one of the advantages Apple's proprietary lightning cable currently has over the USB system.
The first USB cable were released in the mid-1990s and, until now, could only be plugged into a computer or other device one way round to ensure a data connection.][/quote]
No longer would we have to try and plug these things in both ways before the 3rd try works which is always the 1st way we try.

This changes everything

What does this save 3 seconds of your life? Its both convenient and inconvenient, all current devices are obsolete without adapters but at least it saves you switching it over and over right?

>The Flood is actually flipping shit over this "innovation" If you knew how to look at a USB you would be getting it right on the first try anyways....

I put it in the right way every time. No really.

Or you could just look the right way and insert it into the port. I swear technology is making people lazier and lazier, really lazy.
-
Oh, a feature for dumb people? Thats cool
-
Everything is right with the world.

Why the freak is this even talking about?
-
This is godly
-
100 watts of power? you could run a fucking toaster with that

I just put them in the right way by looking at it first.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 12/5/2013 3:00:57 PMIt's capable of 10 Gpbs, but the headline is that you won't accidentally put it in upside down...

Lel, neuter.

10Gb/s connection? Saving porn will be faster than ever!
-
It really shouldn't take three years to make this...
-
I have to say. This is pretty exciting.
-
Took them awhile.
-
But will these new USB sticks plug into the same ports? Or will all our shit become outdated?
-
So we won't see it for about 3 years. :C
