Yes , it would leave the upper socket free (in a standard residential socket). But since it is of no use to the average consumer, what does that matter? If I designed them, I'd want to make sure that they scaled adequately. If someone is using 10 in a room, does it work as well as using only 1?

And that brings me to a second complaint. The network and USB ports should be on the same side as the power cable. The power cable will be oriented to the wall, and usually a network cable runs on the wall or in the wall. Wouldn't it be good to have the 2 cables lying next to each other rather than one coiling around?
