Behold, ye heathens, and weep!

Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat. Why? Is it because of the state of
the environment? The current political scene in the Mid-East? The economy? Or is it because sometimes you get a “Cannot Charge” error when you plug an iPad into a USB 2.0 port. Friends, it’s the latter, and it’s horrible.

Well, help is on the way: a $4.95 dongle will make sure that you will never again suffer from “Cannot Charge” errors again. It basically tricks the iPad into thinking it’s connected to a port with more juice. God is truly smiling on us today, brothers.
