it might look like this

Bocci Wallplugs: If Apple Designed a Power Outlet...

Kinda cool, but it'd be a bitch to replace all my plugs, my house is fairly new and I have plugs every 6 ft i think.

Boring video.

Besides, an Apple™ power outlet should look like the chest reactor on Iron Man and beam the electricity over to the machine (cancer not included).

Uh... what the hell is that?

Why would anyone consider that interesting in any way?

It's just a damn plug.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

D'oh. I thought it was going to be a larger magsafe. That'd be awesome.

What would better, though, is PoE. I've seen a lot of nifty PoE devices, including lamps, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. Single outlet for power and data.

It would look very nice, expensive and cost 99 cents every time you plugged something in.
