The thing that really gets to me is how we've gone from "Here, let us sell you a computer that you can push to its limits however you see fit" to "We will sell you a device and ensure you use that device within a given sphere of acceptability".
I own this phone/computer/tablet/console/whatever, so why the fuck do I have to adhere to their rules? Rules they've changed since I bought the device, of course.
