Very desolate around here in recent days isn't it? Here's a bit of Friday entertainment courtesy of some b3ta link or other. Prank calling ASDA. Now the prank itself may not be the cleverest, funniest or most inspired action but how the flipping heck ASDA staff managed to fall for it is beyond even the care-nothing-about-work mind of the Poorhouse - assuming it wasn't an inside job.

Whilst we're laughing at things, let's get on to the subject of terrorism.

Especially that most fearful sort of terrorism that involves nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. And iTunes. Yep, iTunes - the Apple software that transfers music to your iPod amongst other musicy things - may be evil incarnate to many a PC user but few would probably think to wage physical war with it per se. However, should a twisted post-Osama guy think to do so you will be relieved to hear that they will be prevented from doing so by the iTunes EULA (aka super lengthy license agreement you don't read when you install software even though you press the OK button to confirm you agree with it 100%).

You 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 missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

The world is surely a safer place now (law-abiding) citizens don't try and dual-use their music software to create massive, horrific devastation.
