Please, Mister Apple Man. I know you're really busy selling iPads and iPhones all day, and I know you think you're doing good by coming here and trying to talk about smartphones.

I don't want to fight you. I know you've won. I know that you've successfully managed to hook up tracking devices to the population, and trick them into paying for the right to do so. I'm okay with that.

But do you think you could just give us a break? All I want to do is listen to a few songs. I don't want to be hooked up to a network or be within wireless range or talk to a satellite. I just want to walk around and listen to a song or two without being part of your network. Is that okay, Mister Apple Man? Please just let me listen to a song or two.
