Stackable USB?

How didn't everyone alive already think of this?


Of course I have some significant worries about how this functions power/data-wise.  One commenter said this:

Assuming that there is a set resistance from each one, there has to be a voltage drop across each. Therefore, eventually there will be no voltage, and thus no current through which to charge your gadgets. If all of your gadgets hooked up in this fashion were externally powered, I could see how this might work, however it would put a data bottleneck strain on the first chord.






It sounds pretty convincing, so I guess it must be accurate.
