The people crawling all over Apple, like purring cats trying to get a promotion at the fish-packing factory, over ripping the headphone jack out of the iPhone would call me a luddite, but they are fools.

I love technology.

I’m just not quite so naive about it.

I (generally) don’t trust devices that I can’t manually cut the power to.  

I don’t need a “smart” off switch.  If I have to cut the power, the “smart” layer has already fucked up (because software does that sometimes), and I need to cut through that UI layer entirely to perform a simple function.
