This is a conflict of Interest that’s very annoying!

Apple keeps putting in these gawd awful caveats in their SLAs for updates that are really ticking me off…like this one:

4. Consent to Use of Data. You agree that Apple and its subsidiaries may collect and use technical and related information, including but not limited to technical information about your computer, system and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the Apple Software. Apple may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve our products or to provide services or technologies to you.

And you can’t even get your update unless you agree to that stupid policy! This is not the first time I have noticed this ludicrous statement, but today it really ticked me off, because it was part of the Migration and DVD/CD Sharing update!?! How stupid is that?!
