But on a more serious note, the function of the kill switch is to enable Apple to browse the applications on your iPhone and deactivate them at their will... double you tee eff happened to Privacy or Its-my-phone-go-to-hell?

It's in case they accidentally allow a malicious application on the App store, so they can disable it so it doesn't do any damage. Although it is a bit invasive, it's trying to keep your iphone/ipod touch from bricking itself.
