"You don’t become a hacker by programming; you become a hacker by tinkering. It’s the tinkering that provides that sense of wonder. You have to jump out of the system, tear down the safety gates, peel away the layers of abstraction that the computer provides for the vast majority of people who don’t want to know how it all works. […] Just for the hell of it. Because it was fun. Because it scared my parents. Because I absolutely had to know how it all worked."
— The only rant against the iPad which is not based on the non-sense “I don’t like it, so it is a crap”, by Mark Pilgrim. Yes, again.
