Flexicord cables get bent... and stay that way

Ever have a cable you wanted to strangle? Well you're not alone, apparently. A company called E-Filliate issued a new series of USB, HDMI, Cat5, S-Video, and composite cables called Flexicord at CES this year which will bend -- and stay -- in any position you please, thus eliminating that frustration you must feel every time you plug in your camera or hook up your high fidelity sound system. The cables act like pipe cleaner or Gumby, so you can twist and shape them as you please, though apparently Pokey had to be killed and dissected so the technology could be obtained. Enjoy your new cable, murderers.

That is precisely when it's the best idea! Because that's when you can bend the cables into separate side-by-side rourtes without getting them all tangled up (which, by the way, isn't so hot for signal crossover either), and the cables will stay in that user-bent path. It's like a bunch of 1/4"-wide "snake lights".Why would only a few cables be better? Then you can just drop them behind your system and have no mess to worry about...

Well what I was thinking about is when they tangle. It makes me think of untangling a slinky.... :S

Doesn't this create stray inductance? I'm just sayin...

i hate these kind of cables, they suck, and pull your items and shit.

It is too bad this is not a cable that would make people RTFA.
