Disclaiming Stupidity
Thanks to Chris Knudsen, I feel more secure knowing that none of you are using iTunes to run our local nuclear reactor, or building missiles in you basement.
The funny thing about disclaimers is that they usually (though not always) have a story behind them. If your ladder says not to place it on manure, it is because a farmer placed his ladder on what he thought to be a frozen mound next to his barn. The manure was not quite frozen and the farmer ended up with serious injuries. Of course, it was all the ladder maker's fault for not warning him.
Unfortunately, companies often get sued when some genius misuses their product. I am glad to know that Apple will not be liable when we have another Three Mile Island because someone was using iTunes to run the reactor.
