$10 USB power outlet leaves no plug behind

I've been waiting for this to appear for awhile. I think USB connections will eventually be the standard outlet sometime in the future since so many devices need DC rather than AC. Maybe 5-10 years.

$10 USB power outlet leaves no plug behind: "

Don't freak out or anything. But all that time you spent building a DIY in-wall USB charger may have been for naught. Of course, you've gained a useful learning experience and potentially gotten a lesson in the dangers of electricity, but you could have simply ordered this TruPower UCS outlet from FastMac, which packs the same two USB charging ports as the DIY outlet, along with two standard power outlets for your other power-hungry devices. Best of all, it only costs the same ten bucks that the DIY option would have set you back, but it looks like it won't start shipping until sometime early next year."

Iowa Soon to be Bankrupt?

Iowa budget gap could reach $1 billion | GazetteOnline.com: "DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa will face a budget gap of more than$1 billion next year, the largest gap in state history. A budget review from the Legislative Services Agency predictslawmakers will face a projected shortfall of $1.07 billion in thefiscal year beginning July 1. The state has coped with the projected gap by ordering a 10percent across-the-board cut in spending and proposing layoffs. But the new estimate is worse than previous shortfalls, and IowaHouse Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says the state will likely eliminate entire programs. The state’s Revenue Estimating Committee will meet on Dec. 11. Its report will dictate how much Gov. Chet Culver can spend in thenext budget year." It's going to be a lot bigger than a $1 billion gap before it's done.
