It's a sad state of affairs that a removable battery is now a headline feature. In the past I didn't care but these days I sure do.

Is it paranoid of me to associate the disappearance of removable batteries with our apparent steady steps towards an Orwellian future? Or no?

Yes and no. It is paranoid because we're already about 20 years into our Orwellian future; it's no longer ahead of us.

Do you mean, 'It is not paranoid because we're already there?'
