castironRe: this passage:
I'm glad to know that I shouldn't use iTunes to power my nuclear facility, but now I can't escape the thought that Jim Moriarty read the iTunes license, said "Oh, yeah?", and figured out how to run his criminal empire via iTunes just to prove it was possible.
(Breaking the clause "you may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of the Apple Software or any part thereof" was a given; Moriarty laughes in the face of software licenses. He disassembles proprietary operating systems for sport, adds new customizations to Microsoft Word before breakfast every day [though he does all his actual work in vi], and distributes GNU GPL software without the GNU license attached.)
THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL 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.
