Hackers Don't Need Permission

17 June 2012

Michael August Pusateri, reacting to Kyle Weins’ lament about the upgradeability of the new MacBook Pro: > To ask that every piece of modern electronics is designed to allow the tiny fraction of hackers to upgrade is the height of hubris, unreasonable, and a huge imposition on everyone else that has no desire to ever crack the case.  > > […] > Hackers, hot rodders, and makers will always find a way to do what they want, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of everyone else that simply wants a good, reliable product. Hackers don’t need approval, acceptance, encouragement or permission. They need what they’ve always had; curiosity.
