Default USB outlet

http://lifehacker.com/add-usb-plugs-...-ch-1764716116

Here is yet another one that actually makes you give up a 120V outlet
for 2 USBs.

I would think a much better idea would be to design table lamps with a
couple of outlets in the base.

I think they could add an mp3 player to your microwave for music in
the kitchen and another two places to charge your phone for a couple
of bucks.

The one I have has two 5-15s and 2 USB. It ends up being pretty handy
because we can be charging 2 devices and still have both 120v
receptacles available without wall warts and cube taps.

Been to any (decent) hotels lately? It's fairly common to have lamps
with AC receptacles and USB ports.

e.g. Courtyard By Marriott

For the amount that they would have to increase the price of the microwave
produce anything close to decent sound, I'd buy a dedicated "music source"
such as CD/Radio/Bluetooth device that hangs from the bottom of the upper
cabinets.

In fact, I did.
