Maplins, Jervis Street [Dublin 1] . Almost 33 EUR for a non-Apple iPhone cable. Apple cables are already horrendously priced at 19 EUR from re-sellers. See also an adapter for lightning to 30-pin is more expensive…. go figure. Is it to make people buy the [Apple] cable? PS Not buying, just browsing (for the inevitable “so don’t buy it / don’t shop there” comments

Did you know that 99% of the internet traffic flowing between countries travels through underwater cables?

Well there you are.

Greg Mahlknecht’s interactive map shows all the major undersea conduits linking Europe to North America and Asia to Australia and Africa. Compiled from resources harvested from the very interpipes it catalogues, it’s an impressive work in progress.

Muck about with it here.
