I'm starting to get annoyed at electronics sporting power buttons that require the user to hold them down for several seconds before anything happens.  Computers, wireless headphones, Nokia cellphones, the list goes on.  Most of them are recessed buttons, too, so the chance of something accidentally "bumping" the button is slim at best.  When I want something turned off, I want it to comply immediately!

It also annoys me off that these buttons can all be disabled in software (which also makes them susceptible to software bugs).

Am I the only one perturbed by this?
