Remember when software just did what it said on the tin, and called it day? Now software is too often like the invited guest that proceeds to open your medicine cabinet, and then goes and roots around in the basement for something interesting. No, jackass, we just wanted you over for dinner and some conversation.

Same with these apps. “Boo hoo, we can’t root through your contacts anymore, it’s the Appocalypse!” No, jackass, no one ever said it was okay to dig through my contacts, quit acting so entitled.
