Holy. This is so dire. I like how "smart" is always a euphemism for "shitty" when it's the prefix of a technology product.

Jury's still out on the Smartphone with a good number of pros/cons.

I'd bet that many who are enraged by this story, have already accepted numerous such agreements in the software/sites they use.

I'd say it's the smartphones success that lead to smart bring a euphemism for everything. smartphones worked so well, It led to everyone and their mother attaching smart to everything.
