Steve Jobs Agrees To Itunes Terms And Conditions

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc, reportedly read through all 84 pages of the iTunes licensing agreement before clicking “yes.”

Apple’s most popular piece of software, iTunes, has long been considered both a leader in digital music innovation and insanely long fucking user agreements.

Jobs hoped to set an example by his action.

“I realize we may have gone a bit overboard with the most recent agreement. Eighty four pages of text isn’t exactly small,” Jobs said. “But that’s what we do at Apple: we innovate. We create. This user agreement is but the first of many of a “family,” if you will, of agreements.”

The user agreement, found to contain several contradictory statements and allows for misuse of personal information, could not be reached for comment.

Tech blogs are already abuzz with the rumored features of the user agreements successor, the “iAgree Mini.”

Jobs refused to comment, saying only, “Create. Innovate. Awesome.”

My experience with iTunes coecnnt is that it is buggy, and hard to use. The first time I attempted to submit an app back in January it kept crashing with some try again later error. After several attempts, and several hours, It finally worked. Recently, when posting a new version of the app, I find that I can't make image updates to the new version under review without them also changing the existing version's image in iTunes yuck.
