>Apple added the charging port on the bottom to be evil

I don't think anyone does anything "to be evil".

But clearly they had a choice between what was good for the user (being able to use the mouse while charging) and what suited their aesthetic, and they chose the latter. Open-and-shut case, indeed.

That's Apple for you. Any time there's a conflict between aesthetics and user friendliness, aesthetics will always win out.
