Planned obsolescence is one of those things that can make a low grade luddite like myself just want to give up on society and live in a cave in Kentucky somewhere. Yeah it'd be damp and filled with centipedes and bat droppings, but I also wouldn't have to worry about my WiFi router exploding for no reason or my new laptop deciding that today is a bad day to get any work done.
It's especially irritating when you drop hundreds of dollars on a product, only to find that it has a useable shelf life of about half a development cycle for the slightly altered version of the same product that you'll inevitably buy anyway because we're all beholden to a consumerist system that encourages throwing wads of cash at pimply faced Best Buy employees.
