The actual complaint here appears to be that a iPhone sync can't be interrupted. Is that true? The reboot complaint appears to be a complete misdirect and a non-issue.

It’s not a non-issue at all. I want to reboot my computer so, you, computer, reboot now.

There’s no way to interrupt the process or force the reboot just like with any other process.

Wait, are you saying you don’t want this??

He is probably asking for the sync to be interruptible, and automatically restarted later. Which is completely reasonable.

Totally agree about the nature of what appears to be the ultimate point the author is making. They really should have focused their criticism to avoid appearing unreasonable.
