헬로우 코리아!

! . ? ? ! ? ? (… ! ). , , ! ( , , . , !) Our ongoing experiment continues to yield fascinating results. Twice now, we’ve urged you, in the strongest possible terms, not to buy these speaker docks. Why would you, when you can get speakers that don’t require you to nail your phone to one spot? Speaker docks are a nullity wrapped in suck suspended in a void of illogic. They are a waste of plastic, of space, of the human spirit.And yet, some of you have continued to buy them. Indeed, sales actually went up the second time.Questions for further inquiry: are purchasers under some sad delusion that they might be fun to “hack”? That they might contain usable parts for some other project? That taking them apart might yield some insight into electronics, manufacturing, something, anything?Sorry, our De-meh-lition expert Harrison tried that already. The reward for his efforts: one short little lightning cable, some tiny useless speakers, and a pile of trash. And keep in mind, Harrison didn’t have to pay for his speaker dock. Chopping it up wasn’t even worth the wear and tear on his screwdrivers.The only worthwhile thing Harrison got out of it was an entertaining forum post. And now that’s been done. So if that’s what you’re planning, you might want to run a little cost-benefit analysis before you buy.Our experiment will continue. How strongly must we insist that you shouldn’t buy these before you will stop buying them? Where is the limit? Is there a limit? In pursuit of these answers, we’re willing to sacrifice a million speaker docks, if we must. Well, maybe “sacrifice” is the wrong word there.
