To paraphrase Futurama 603
"Not quite so dumb Bastards... "
I'm still predicting Apple will end up working from a lockup in Luton - hopefully this is where it begins..
As for the no headphone jack garbage, someone said that because it'd been used for almost a century it was useless and needed to be replaced - nope, it's lasted so long because it was the right tool for the right job. It's like the idiots who killed the Landrover 90/110 Defender with the dubious "we couldn't find a clean engine anywhere that would fit.. " (in an engine bay the size of a small shed, yeah right, the only reason someone hasn't fitted a Rolls Royce Merlin is because it's terrifying (on road) with 100hp, let alone 1000); it stayed almost identical since 1948 because it was perfect for its function, and still is, but it's not new shiny, it's more than 2 years old, so it's gotta go..
Apple Syndrome has started to spread, shame you can't make it a notifiable disease like foot & mouth. All managers infected could be culled - symptoms include an emotional age of about 14, a deranged addiction to removing useful features, and an attention span measured in seconds. I'd suggest the managers who signed off the new Landrover Discovery & iPhone should be the first test case.
Best of all, managers aren't cute like badgers, so there'll be no fuss.
