Apple Terms of Service – Really?

I love Apple as much or more than the next guy, but, enough is enough. Terms of Service is 35 Pages, 17,553 words, (42 pages on my iPad) written by attorneys costing Apple I am sure no less than $476,000 to write it and yes, change it and change it again. The best thing about it is this statement “Apple is not responsible for typographic errors”. I also like that the Apple iTunes service is for anyone 13 years or older and if you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you should review this 35 page contract with your parent or guardian. Is there not a legal precedence for reasonableness? Is this reasonable. Does anyone really read this agreement? Does it matter?

Oh, and if you get bored reading this, by reference you should also read the Apple Privacy Policy which is another 2,400 words. Apple, how do you spell FARCE? Thats right, l u d i c r o u s.
