Someone had to ruin it for the rest of us, eh? (Score 1)

The problem that I'm beginning to see here is this: - most large companies have an IT department and thus know how to secure USB ports, etc - most small companies know their employees really well and have nothing to worry about - medium sized companies (say between 50 - 150 employees) are big enough to not know all their employees that well but small enough not to have an IT department in house. It's easy to say "hire trustworthy employees" but eventually someone will slip through. The biggest difference between this and target disk mode is that someone could plug in their ipod to "charge" and walk away as opposed to sitting in front of a computer screen where their boss could walk in and see what they were doing. Stupid people writing stupid things may have ruined charging an ipod without a charger for the rest of us. Grrrrr
