Ban this ban that, what's the world coming to????

 
Are you an iTunes subscriber?  If so then I hope that you read the licensing agreement properly before installing the latest version.  I'm guessing you're going to be either astonished or totally gutted but you cannot use the iTunes software "… for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear missiles or chemical or biological weapons ".  So there. That's put paid to your fiendish plan to use high decibel James Blunt as a Weapon of Mass Destruction hasn't it?
 
Or, perhaps, being canny and worried about rising fuel costs, you had planned to use iTunes software to run your back garden nuclear reactor?  Well tough because Apple saw you coming sunshine and they've got it covered here "The Apple software is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, life support machines, or other equipment in which the failure of the Apple software could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage."
 
Myself I don't subscribe to iTunes, not having megalomaniac tendencies but I bet you do.  Well I just want you to know that Apple know what you're up to and if you do use the iTunes software to create any WMD or run your personal nuclear reactor then you'd better watch out because, and this is the crunch - they could stop you downloading.  Unless you've Blunted them first of course.

I don't suscribe to iTunes either...I don't have an iPod just a much cheaper mp3 player...4gb one for £30 is a heck of a lot cheaper than a 4gb iPod lol...Shame as i could have bored the world into submission by making them listen to James Blunt over and over and over <g>
