"I like the functionality..." I have quite a serious mental illness, one common symptom of which is paranoia. That's why I pay cash for everything, as well as - after a great deal of consideration - why I won't ever drive a car ever again. Not so much the car, but its license plate. This week, starbucks had a half-off offer for frappucinos. I really like frappucinos, but their advertisement led me to believe that I had to purchase with a registered starbucks card. I sadly ordered pike's place instead. But then I had a closer look at their offer, to realize that while they were promoting the starbucks card, it wasn't specifically required. I have since paid cash for three frappucinos. Sometimes a grocery store cashier will ask me whether I have one of their loyalty cards. I tell them that I don't. "Would you like one?" "No. Do you know who Edward Snowden is? That's why I don't use loyalty cards." Quite commonly, they don't know who Snowden is. A few times, I could tell by the looks on their faces, that they were considering calling the cops, to have me tossed into a nuthouse. If I had little or no understanding of the innards of my iphone, it wouldn't get to me, but I am an iOS developer. After reading the linked article, for me to spend much time walking around with my iPhone powered on, really would lead to my spending some time in a psychiatric hospital. I haven't actually looked into it, but assertively conjecture that hospitalizations for paranoia have substantially increased since Eddie skipped off with those half-dozen NSA notebooks.
