11. The iTunes Agreement Has Some Weird Stuff In It

When you download iTunes, as with most software that isn't obviously dodgy or trying to install spyware on your computer, you most likely agree to everything without bothering to read the reams of reams of things you're actually clicking €œagree€ too. Which, if you're perhaps a North Korean despot, means you're legally obligated to not do some of your favourite things. Tucked into that user agreement there's a part which states you agree not to use Apple products to create nuclear weapons. Granted, if any Macintoshes were used in pursuit of Kim Jong-Un's nuclear programme it would probably be the Mk II, but still, seems kinda of an odd thing to specify, right? Yet there it is, in plain black and white: €œYou also agree that you will not use these products 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.€ That bloody hippie, Jobs.
