What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers?
legoman666 writes "On my desk I have chargers for the following gadgets: Nokia N810, LG Chocolate, Sony Ericcson Z310a, Canon Powershot SD1000, Cowan iAudio X5L, Lenovo Thinkpad, Logitech MX1000 and my Nintendo DS. Not a single pair of them share a similar connector. I have two power strips whose singular purpose is to energize these chargers. My question to Slashdot is: How do you organize all of your different chargers? Please, share your secrets."
Why don't you lobby Congress to pass a law standardizing voltage with connector type. Then we can have another more worthless legislation to deal with!
This would have been a good article if TFS had touched on the fact that *CHINA*, of all places, has outlawed the practice of using non-standard charging connections for electronic devices. Meanwhile, back home in the usa, we allow electronics manufacturers to walk all over us. Ain't it grate?

This is not admiration, it is highlighting a situation of irony.
