Is that a joke? Wait, it can't be a joke, because it's not funny.

Salon and Slate are often considered competing online magazines, but in their outrage at Apple's "enormous insult" Leonard is in full agreement with Slate's Farhad Manjoo.

Yes, Farhad, I agree, that is indeed "the definition of being unfriendly to your customers."

Huh. When the Macalope opens dictionary to "unfriendly to your customers" he sees a picture of Android and Windows Phone OEMs not providing operating system upgrades. He must have a different edition than Manjoo and Leonard.

Apple's move is an insult on at least two levels: in these tough times, we can't afford to add adapters to all our existing Apple chargers and related devices.
