Today I don't have a recharging cable,

In this day and age, how is it possible that you can't find or borrow a USB cable to charge your device? Everything uses them. They're everywhere. You can't even pass gas anymore without your foul air encountering several USB cables.

I use an iPhone 4

Ah. Nevermind.

Absolutely irrelevant. From my slashdot bio: "monkey Sauce has nothing to do with squeezing monkeys to obtain sauce, or drilling a hole in them to drain it out, or anything like that. It is more like the sauce that you would put on a monkey sandwich, or the topping commonly used on monkey à la mode."

we are all in the habit of just clicking past this screen and installing, and then hoping the app is not malevolent in some way.

Speak for yourself. If something doesn't look right about the permissions an app requires, I don't install it. If I wanted it badly enough I might contact the developer for clarification but so far there are enough apps out there that I've always just found another app that performs the same function without requesting whatever permission I thought was suspect.

That reminds me of the time somebody was telling me about getting a good deal on a "dropped server". I sat there trying to figure out what exactly he meant-- perhaps it had some kind of special low/thin or pivoting chassis or something-- but then he continued on about how the server fell out of the back of a truck before it was delivered to whoever ordered it initially. They had refused it and my friend snatched it up at a bargain price.

Funny thing is, it didn't last too long because it had all kinds of stability problems. I'm sure that was just coincidence though.
