Porn industry pushing MicroUSB?

Porn industry pushing MicroUSB? PCMag is reporting today that members of their staff have followed the tech-heavy CES event by heading to the AVN Adult Entertainment event and noticed that the porn industry seems to have unanimously selected MicroUSB for their, um, charging needs.
In the past, the porn industry has helped push standards (see VHS vs. Beta, and more recently Blu-ray vs. HD DVD), and this latest trend could help give MicroUSB the push it needs to be the standard across most tech appliances. Currently MicroUSB is used by HTC and other phone manufacturers, and is the standard for most digital cameras.

Quoting PCMag: "It looks like many in the porn industry are getting on board as well, with a new crop of vibrators that can be charged from the comfort of your PC. From now on, you'll only have to pack one cable for those long business trips."

Well, then probably it will also be pretty easy to charge them in your car...for those long, lonely road trips:)).
They ban texting/cell phone use while driving, might come up with a "no driving while vibrating law")!!!
