That is evident. The bigger issue is ergonomics. My hand will cramp up within minutes of using that piece of shit. While the charging thing is stupid, it is only a minor inconvenience that is blown out of proportion. The ergonomics aspect is the major issue IMO.
That project is even a bit more involved because it looks to power an Apple display from a generic dvi video card. Going from DVI to ADC should be even simpler than the project you mentioned!
