Jedi witchcraft does not need to know the tilling pattern of brain cells 
when you use the Force to alter the mind of a human, Master. As computer 
chips get thinner and narrower, they become more and more like a human 
brain, thus making their tilling pattern to look the same. So... maybe 
you don't need to use a light saber at all to slaughter drones. :)

BTW, I was talking about integrated circuits aka I.C. Are old, black 
I.C.s less vulnerable to wireless exploit than modern chips? Sorry, Master.
