Rotating Power Outlets - Score one more for wall warts...

In the never-ending, always-annoying battle between wall warts and electrical outlet space, a new entrant marks a small victory for the oversized socket hogs out there. From SmartHome (and through Gizmodo), the 360-Degree Rotating Outlet does exactly what its name says: just spin the sockets until your wall warts get along. Aside from sometimes being a fun little tetris-like puzzle, this is a nice solution. Certainly more elegant than the otherwise useful PowerSquid, but the cost is a more involved home installation. The only problem I can think of is the borderline-OCD resident of the home who just needs the sockets to be straight - and nothing to grab onto to spin an empty socket but the slots themselves. A dangerous combination...?
