I REALLY wish companies would create Smart Plugs that had plugs to the sides. I rarely want the outlet straight out from the wall, I prefer to have it heading down the wall or to the side so I can place furniture nearby without hitting the cord coming off the plug.

This may be what you're looking for. I have 3 of them and they've been pretty good.

Yeah, I use those APC surge protectors that fasten directly to the outlet, and they have 6 side outlets which are terrific.
