A Rotating Adapter Head Might Just Make This USB Ribbon Cable Worth It [Cables]

Image
Aug 9, 2012 11:20 AM   We recently reviewed AViiQ's line of ribbon-style USB adapter cables, but found that what made them most unique—their flat cable design—also made them difficult to use. So we couldn't recommend the cables, but maybe the convenience of this new triple-headed all-in-one design might make this cable worth carrying. It features the exact same flat ribbon design of AViiQ's previous cables, but incorporates a rotating head on the end opposite the USB connector—giving you Apple dock connector, miniUSB, and microUSB options all in a single cable. With an introductory price of $24, it's actually cheaper than buying all three of these cables in a set. But just remember that it will only let you charge a single device at a time—one of which may be obsolete soon—so choose wisely.

According to Bewkes, the idea that people hate cable and can't wait to get rid of it is a myth. We'd like to think that everyone's content to just settle into a service like Netflix, but the numbers aren't there to support that theory. Check out this doozy of a quote from the Time Warner chief: But the whole idea that there's a lot of people out there that want to drop multichannel TV, and just have a Netflix or an HBO - that's not right. Look for the data, you won't find them. But won't Time Warner pretty please let us just subscribe to HBO Go alone? We don't care about getting the Food Network! We just want Game of ...
