Nerds: You know more about technology than anybody else, and anybody who knows less than you is a total dipshit. I love you for that. But normal people deserve wonderful technology too. And half the shit you call computing—running custom ROMs, reinstalling OSes, fucking with network settings—is like a chef sharpening his knives over and over and calling that cooking.
Look, I can do that stuff too. I’m not complaining because it’s hard. But this is a point that I really appreciate, and I think it’s a critical distinction in the post-PC wars. And the rest of the article is good, too.
