  1. Me neither but I've seen other people do it before I had time to stop them. As such, I agree that microusb is too complex to use for average people. The connector is too little for some people to see clearly the difference between the right way and wrong way so they just try to force it. And microusb connector is too weak to deal with incorrect forcing. As for the miniusb, that should have never used for anything. A connector where the host part of the connector is designed to only last 1000 connections should not be used for anything. Ever.

  2. 9:50 As an EU citizen, I'm pretty ready to declare EU decision making as clusterfuck, too. It's all politics and any logic has very little to do with any decision making. Still, it seems that EU decision making is in slightly less problematic state than the respective USA variants. I think EU should rule that proprietary patented ports are not allowed on mobile devices. If you have a new port that you want to use *that doesn't require licensing for 3rd party manufacturers or part manufacturers*, I think the EU legislation should allow using that. Apple Lightning port is not such a port and pretending that it's used because it's "better" is just a lie.
