You missed my point, idiot, which is that serving "typical usage patterns" may conflict with their desire to maximize profits by constraining their customers. >> by constraining their customers in various ways. > >nonsense. if people felt constrained they would buy a different product. Wrong again, idiot. People will buy the "best fit" product, *despite* it's shortcomings. Just because "people like and will buy the iPad" does not mean that USB ports would not improve it, idiot.
