- lutusp 12y agoThat sounds more practical. A lot of equipment exists that assumes the presence of a cigarette lighter socket, but I wouldn't be surprised if they declined over time because the USB socket is cheaper and more versatile.
- icebraining 12y agoIt'll be fun when people start buying USB-powered cigarette lighters because they've been obsoleted from cars :)
- pjc50 12y agoThe joke going around is "can you unplug your book, I need to charge my cigarette": the lighter will be obsoleted too in favour of e-cigs. Generally it's better for things not to be on fire.
- mrottenkolber 12y ago> Generally it's better for things not to be on fire. Maybe in your bubble.
- freehunter 12y agoWhen gas stations are selling e-cigs, how is that a techie-bubble at all?
- silon3 12y agoA lot of new cars in Europe also have front, rear and trunk 12V sockets. I wouldn't buy one without at least two of those.
