Apple's crack legal department has taken steps to insure that the licensing agreement for that company's popular iTunes software contains language that prohibits the use of iTunes in "the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear missiles or chemical or biological weapons."Don't laugh, I'm pretty sure that the heavy metal music my teenage son downloads from iTunes qualifies as a biological weapon.
A separate licensing agreement contains a disclaimer that puts any iTunes user on notice that the 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."
Wow! I knew iTunes was powerful, groundbreaking software but I had no idea that it was that powerful!
If Steve Jobs wants to rule the world, it looks like he has the software to do it with.
