Asshole, or genius?! I love anti-patterns. My favorite is Android, in response to a government somewhere, every half year or so being required to ask my permission to destroy what shred of privacy I am still afforded. "What's the most honest way to meet the legal requirement and ask the user in good faith?" I hear you ask. Good question, and the solution is simple: randomly interrupt the user's existing workflow with a popup. Comprehending this non sequitur is near impossible. Rejecting the proposal is met with a caution that certain features may not function as expected and guarantees future interruption by the exact same question. And all this if you didn't accidentally click OK straight away because the popup jumped in front of whatever you were already trying to click in your intended app. 0.2 seconds of transient grey screen beyond which you regret that you have just given them permission to something you would never normally accept if it were explained in a single simple sentence, and undoing it is impossible. Sleazy.
