Re: Growing Pains said by Dogfather:They'll have some lame extension plug or something just like they do for the iPhone headphone jack. These add-ons will make having the world's thinest laptop moot. Apple Art&D chooses form over function on occasion and it's unfortunate. No, whats unfortunate is the rabid fanbase would buy it if it had crimp terminals and defend it saying it was thoughtful of apple to make it easy to adapt...
Sometimes I think Apple purposely screws up certain things on products so that people miss any real screwups.. |

Where's the rabid fan base buying up Apple TV's?
Apple just seems to have a "fan base" because 9 out of 10 times they create a good and occasionally an incredible product at a good value, so good that other companies end up copying Apple's implementation (of sometimes long existing technologies or designs).
1 out of 10 times they lay a huge egg (eg Apple TV Take 1) that is a total market failure and they come back and try again.
The good products people buy. Their bad products don't sell.
IOW, iPods and a lot of other Apple devices sell themselves, it's not a rabid fan base buying them just because of the logo that is on the back. |

Ahhh, the PC Windows loving apologist rears their ugly heads after all.
First of all, Apple isn't the only vendor that has this occasional issue, I have seen plenty of PC Laptops in Best Buy that also have cramped USB ports and poorly designed headphone jacks so let's not pretend Apple is the bad guy here.
Have you ever heard of a USB extension cable?
Yes, the Air has some shortcomings but it obviously wasn't marketed to people such as you. |
