Yeah, for real.  People think that, like grease monkeys, people who work with computers, and like them, should have the latest and greatest whatever the hell app is going around.  Because you know it&#x27;s going around, like measles.  Others, like worser diseases.<p>A friend and I, him no longer on Facebook, me without it at this point, both have stickies on our cameras all day that we peel off to talk on Facetime.  And as we were chatting, he mentioned someone who was a power user but didn&#x27;t know much.  He was downright promiscuous with the software he used, just, terrible.  He never even thought of reading a EULA, had every app that fit on his phone (while my friend and I want nothing to do with smartphones), knew how to use all the features...Perhaps we&#x27;re slightly paranoid users, but it&#x27;s these tiny religions that keep us from spilling our guts to the whole planet.  And it happens, and there&#x27;s no undo.  I know what computers can do, and it&#x27;s not fun to think about what happens when yours is commandeered.  Especially if you look at the situation antagonistically and as a programmer.<p>I think of old applications, and old computers, the way I think of generic pills:  you know what you&#x27;re getting, the luster is gone from the competitor that once made it look like shit based on vaporware promises, you can trust it no problem, and it&#x27;s super cheap.  And you&#x27;re used to it, you know the rules, you know how it works.  New hardware is expensive, but new software is worse: you pay either in loss of data, highly-targeted advertising, price discrimination when you finally buy something, irresponsibility with data, worrying about getting hacked, getting hacked, countermeasures, getting spammed, or in a mundane but expensive way as with the $5 a month that Danish guy said every app should charge.  But most apps just can&#x27;t man up and charge you a fee, or tell you to go screw, instead, they play it sleazy, they want to traffic a tiny part of you.
