The thing I find so illogical and stupid is the argument, "Let's legalize everything if you want to legalize drugs." It's an argument to appeal to one's base emotional reaction rather than the logical long term view.

American drug war
This documentary tells the history of the drug war and the absurdity of it.

Apple Inc. - traitorware.
Apple inc. is or has invented a new technology that allows them to monitor users of their devices. This technology will allow them to know and stop people from tinkering or manipulating their tech. The traitorware (as named by EFF.org) will allow only authorized users to access the device. So if it's stolen, said thief will not be able to use the device. Also a "responsible party", like the owner or a police officer can come to retrieve the device. You ask, "How will Apple be able to send police to get my stolen property?"
Well, the traitorware will allow for Apple Inc. to know where you are at any give time.
As well as, take a picture of your face, without a flash, any noise, or any indication that a picture has been taken.
It will record your voice, whether or not a phone call is even being made.
It can determine your unique individual heartbeat "signature".
It can determine if the device has been hacked, the device can watch for "a sudden increase in memory usage of the electronic device.
It can monitor your Internet activity or any communication packets that are served to the electronic device and record it.
It can take a photograph of the surrounding location to determine where it is being used.
Basically Apple will always know where you are, who you are, what you are doing, they will even know if you're having a Heart attack.
I knew there was a reason I've been so hesitate to become a Machead.
I don't condemn or condone such technology. I find the part where it protects their technology completely reasonable. Also if people give consent to being monitored, so they don't lose their equipment that is their choice. However I think some of the measures used go further than needed if the goal is to stop tech tinkering or lose.
