The problem isn't post-PC era, but the problem is that our appliances will be PCs only crippled by a piece of software and you can be ruined for "unlocking" them.

Imagine if you wanted to use your toaster to do Folding@Home while not doing toast and you get two years in jail.

Another more dangerous side is that is a real risk of someone misusing these computers in ways that make it hard to distinguish hacking something for use from abuse.
