Well, you guys have to understand, that although power plugs usually work any way you plug them in,one way actually really is "incorrect", as it creates a lot (about 1000x more than the other way round) of static interference and electro-magnetic fields (so called "electro-smog").

I'm not sure if "e-smog" really is bad for your health, but it quite surely is bad for electronic devices as it may induct currents into sensible parts. That's why I think companies should finally start labeling how cords are plugged in the "right way" into the devices/outlets.
