Nuclear weapons and Clauses

Ben Rimes posted a blog on November 6th, 2008, about companies placing a clause about creating nuclear weapons at the end of the user agreements to protect themselves. Recently Apple has added the clause to the end of their user agreement to protect themselves from any person using ITunes to create nuclear weapons. As Rimes states, it would be interesting to see how a teenager reacts when you tell them that they can launch a weapon from their IPod.
