The WTF Of The Day

I paid a visit to a site I haven't been on in a long time, The Best Page in the Universe, and I read the article about Macs and I found a part that said that the EULA for iTunes stated the following:
You also agree that you will not use these products for ... the development, design, manufacture, or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons
And out of curiosity, I logged off of my XP account and went to another account that did not have iTunes installed and executed it and read through the entire EULA and sure enough, it was in there. I also found this gem in the midst of the gazillion page EULA:
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.
Am I missing something here? Really? Are humans that stupid that they actually have to provide this kind of warning in agreements? There is actually someone in the world who considered using fucking iTunes to create a weapon? Who wakes up one morning and thinks, "gee, I think I may try to install iTunes onto a patient's life support machine!"? They might not be able to live and breathe on their own, but at least they can listen to some kickass music!

This is as bad as hair dryer warnings stating to not use near water. If you do not know that by now, you shouldn't be operating a hair dryer in the first place.

Yay! More Gifts!

What I got for Christmas:

1. a desk
2. a Simpsons calender
3. a handbag
4. a shit ton of movies
5. 3 pairs of pajamas- Homer Simpson ones, black ones, and a set of pink ones with- I'm sorry, I have just been dying to say this- pussies all over them. Pussy cats, of course.
6. car charger for my cellphone
7. another S'More (a reindeer)

Overall, I am pretty satisfied, although not to sound ungrateful, but I am a little annoyed that a few things were passed over on my list and was instead giving so many DVDs. I didn't plan on wanting all of the ones I listed on my list, but I ended up with them. The things that were passed over were about the same, if not cheaper, in price as DVDs.

I have exactly 2 hours left to decide whether to purchase the Applecare warranty for my iPod Nano and I have no idea what to do. This sucks. If it wasn't so much money for a lousy one year extension, I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Actually, yes I would. I can't make a decision if my life depended on it, especially when it comes to making a decision where I have to part with money.

Apple iPod In-Ear Headphones

Did you see that? The biggest part? They're just $79! For a set of earphones! I have an extremely similar pair and they have pretty good sound and they even do the whole block outside sound out. Do you know how much I paid for them? I paid....wait for it....$5.

Video Of The Day

The HP+iPod You Let Music Worlds Collide commercial:



How they ever got everything to sync together so perfectly will never cease to amaze me.

Random Thoughts

Boy, it is a miserable day.

Out of boredom, I went on the Apple webpage to search for a new warranty for my iPod Nano (I am under the impression that I can still purchase a warranty; I talked to someone on Apple's page one time and she told me I could) and for me to purchase it, it would cost me $39.99 and it would take me beyond for another year and for almost the same price, I could get a refurbished Nano....no, wait a minute. You know, I just defeated my whole argument. A refurbished Nano would cost double the price. What the hell was I thinking? God, I am a fucking moron sometimes.

As I said before, when I am trying to go to sleep, I think a lot. And I was thinking about how anti-abortion people consider conception the start of life- you know, when it's just a lump of cells- and I started to think, well, tumors are lumps of cells that grow and reproduce; therefore, are they not living beings? And don't forget that there are tumors that grow hair, teeth, bones, limbs, eyeballs, and even organ-like tissues. I think they are called dermoids or teratomas or something. Is it against God to kill a tumor? And someone else is thinking the same:

Christians, Keep Your Tumors For God
