Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets
ptorrone writes "In this 7-minute video we explore the mysteries of Apple device charging. Usually, device makers need to sign a confidentially agreement with Apple if they want to say their charger 'works with iPhone / iPod,' and they're not allowed to talk about how the insides work. If you don't put these secret resistors on the data lines too, you get the dreaded Charging is not supported with this accessory. We demonstrate how anyone can make their own chargers that work with iPhone 4, 3Gs, etc."
I'm confused, this article summary isn't biased or uninformed like the last one (summary begins with "Despite all the hype about Apple's latest phone" even though the figures in the article don't include sales of the latest iPhone).
Where is the required quota of Apple hate so I can know how to respond to this?
They didn't include sales of the latest Android phones, either.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Does this mean it's irresistible?

I probably shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but I'm really confused by posts like these....
Is this poster seriously trying to get someone to click that link? Or is this a tongue-in-cheek amateurish attempt? In the context of some discussions I could see how this could be funny, but I really don't get how it might apply here. It's not even like he's trying to get me to buy something. He apparently just wants me to click on that link and get fired/dumped/suffer PTSD. Seems really spiteful.
The "OMG, its a GIRL!" comes from the fact that so many of us have met so few smart ones, or even truly intellectually curious ones in our lives. We know it isn't a genetic problem. We even meet or see (as in this case) just enough to let us know that they do exist. They may not be unicorns, but they are still pretty rare.
Before you claim I am a sexist, understand that I have no doubt that the number of smart men would be much lower if all men had to do was walk into a bar and declare that they were horny to get women to throw goods, services and, dare I say it, cash, at them. For very good reasons, prostitution has been a mainstay of human culture. As long as you follow certain protocols, it is socially acceptable. It takes an unusual sort of person to decide that being smart is important when they know they can get through life by having sex instead.
So, yes. She is hot. I don't live in a basement or Saudi Arabia, I see real girls all of the time, and not only would I love to have sex with her, but I would love to have sex with her while my wife takes pictures (that way it happened) and charges her iPod with the home made charger. You may call that pathetic, but from my perspective, what seems pathetic is to go to a nerd playground like slashdot, and expect people to behave in any way other than what the social norms of the culture dictate.
Why is it that Americans pronounce the word "solder" as if it were spelled "sodder"?
