I'm the pedantic engineer who'll tell you that if you don't like "planned obsolesce" (angry words for advancement of technology?) , you'd still be working with computers the size of rooms. If you don't like passwords, use keypass, or good luck doing your banking on a typewriter.
AAAnd then, the author makes a BIG BIG stretch tying it in with Jobs... come on, I love apple, but the Steve Jobs dick sucking has got to stop. He's not a god, and he didn't do it all by himself.
I for one would love to go all "Lewis Black" on both Rooney, and the clown that wrote that article.
