The definition of "work" is an elastic one. There are some sects that consider
using electricity on the Sabbath to be a real no-no: you can't light a fire on
the Sabbath, and electricity is like a fire, and therefore no electric lights,
according to some of their rabbis. 
The thing is, you not only have to intentionally not work, you have to be
very, very careful to not even _unintentionally_ not work. . .which is why
some of the customs seem to be a bit odd for those not raised as
very Orthodox. But then, one could say the same for Christianity, Buddhism,
Mohameddism, Shintoism. . . .
