Someone needs to start making left and right side plugs for the new Powerbooks. They make them for other uses, such as guitar cords, and basically the cord is designed to be plugged into the side of something, where the end turns directly to the side.

Yeah, those right-angle jacks for guitars come in handy, however, many companies ship their products w/ cables to support everything, and including right-angle plugs wouldn't exactly work so well with desktops and it would just add to the cost.

I might not get what you're saying... but wouldn't this block other ports? so confused.

Yep, exactly why it's a good idea in theory, but it couldn't hardly be executed without incurring further consequences.
