    It's an adapter/dongle, not a cable. It's the same shape adapter/dongle as VGA, and other adapters/dongles.
    The cable plugs into it, which is supplied separately.

    You've obviously never been into rural areas, and you speak of it like it's all the deep mountains of tennessee.
    I grew up in the rural areas, and by far it's different than you think. Get out of your house, the last thing we need is stereotyping and arrogance.
    PLEASE, get out of your house.

    Well, there is a difference between accent and just fucking it up completely.

    There are people that I have spoken to that have such a light 'r' that it's nearly completely 'ah', and at the same time cant seem to speak some words without nearly eliminating the vowels, or making it choppy and cupping their mouth...
    I figure it this way, slow down just a little and enunciate.

    That is the reason I use Google Voice for my phone number, and have since 2006. I've walked through nearly 5 phones since then, and have thought of them as nothing more than dumb terminals when it comes to the phone feature. Lots of awesome features with Google Voice.

    I'm thinking you're missing the ecosystem of the iOS operating environment.
    It's a choice people make, and if you don't like it then you can just not use it. It's by far not a false dichotomy... by very nature if it's open then the user can freely place untested things onto the device. For those that want to not worry about what goes onto their phone or iPad, this is what's desired. If you want Linux (or ubuntu) on your phone, go for a phone that does not have that.

    You're an odd individual. Either that, or isolated. Let's educate you.
    an iDevice is a quality product, and the operating system the same. Unfortunately, the alternative is something different, which is not what's desired by said person. The only thing missing is the ability to extend the operating system further, so that's what this is.

    Now that you understand, I'm sure you can concur. If not, re-read this until you understand.
