Sorry about the title, but a few weeks ago, I saw a press blurb (possibly on MacNN) about little plastic adapter piece with a USB plug on one end, and a single socket on the other, with a joint in between.

The idea was that the plug would just fold away to the side or wherever it got to, without putting undue strain on the socket/motherboard.

Perfect for laptops.

I can't find it.

Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

any leads appreciated.
