Awesome Robo: Apple changing the dock connector is, like, a conspiracy and stuff

Randomly came across this wonderful piece of literature today:

http://www.awesome-robo.com/2012/06/apple-iphone-5-19-pin-scheme.html

I was going to dissect this line by line, but...

Considering that three of the top accessory makers have been the first to confirm that they're working on 19 pin accessories already for the launch of the iPhone 5, the motive is simple : Greed. And why not? It's a fail safe business plan, designed to shake out the smaller accessory makers with tons of unsold '30 pin' stock and a good amount of people will probably conform to this odd decision without question.

I gave up. It's pretty bonkers.

Sadly, this piece is being cited in other stories, saying "Customers are in uproar" and whatnot. Oh internet....
