Apple kills a Kickstarter project
This is why I don't understand why so many hackers these days like to use apple products.<p>Apple is the antithesis of the hacker ideal. They're just as bad as Microsoft.<p>I mean, seriously. Have you ever been to a radioshack? Multi-charging devices are a common product. Yet apple will have none of it. It's clearly an anti-competitive measure aimed at making sure they're your only supplier.<p>Furthermore, apple's chargers suck. They deliberately have a weaker rubber sleeve around the end of laptop charger cables because it looks aesthetically nice. It's been proven that it's weaker than the conventional rubber joints on most laptop chargers, but they don't change it, because they value aesthetics over functionality.<p>Avoid if possible.<p>/me realizes he's using an ipod shuffle. oh well.
