But nobody here is saying that we don't understand why they would do it. We just think it's a bad thing for a company to limit it's liability in the cases where liability is warranted. Yes, our legal system sucks, that's why we discuss legal issues on the internet. Is it all making sense now?

Well, if there ever was a better time to plug Niel De Grass Tyson's "Penny 4 NASA" campaign, I can't think of one. http://www.penny4nasa.org/

"and can be used in conjunction with Wii controllers, the company said"

Hold your horses people, they aren't saying you have to use this mammoth just to play wii bowling.

You could literally make this argument about ANY new technology that you've decided to hate. Telling people who don't hate it that they should hate it is just pure bigotry. Get a life, and meditate or something sheesh.

And do the carriers log this information unencrypted on my computer where any bit of malicious code can access it?
