Normal people – I expect — wake up thinking about their kids (well, some don’t have an option to think of anything else as they get woken up by their offspring, who are happy and rearing to go. I suppose the revenge comes when said kids are in their teens and won’t get up save for a zombie invasion or a rock star). Some might wake up thinking of breakfast, the day ahead, things to do.

Not me.

I wake up thinking about USB cables; specifically the USB cable that comes packaged with all Apple keyboards.

And the fact that it’s an environmental issue.

Yep.

Seriously.

The reason I think this is that the bloody things are useful ONLY for a Mac keyboard. They have a little kink in the female end which renders them useless (and indeed, break the standard, such as it is) for that size USB cable.

The result: people don’t use them and they’re the first thing to get chucked out and/or put in a box never to see the light of day.

So why is this? Anybody? Anybody? Steve…
