awesome.

As I was reviewing my warranty on my almost brand new Nokia phone, I came across some conditions under which Nokia will NOT honor their "One-Year Limited Warranty". The second paragraph reads as follows:

b) The Product has been damaged from external causes such as collision with an object, or from fire, flooding, sand, dirt, windstorm, lightning, earthquake or damage from exposure to weather conditions, an *ACT OF GOD, or battery leakage, theft, blown fuse, or improper use of any electrical source, damage cause by computer or internet viruses, bugs, worms, *TROJAN HORSES, cancelbots or damage caused by blah blah blah....

Now, I'm not much of a computer wizard, but really? Trojan Horses? And, has someone really used the excuse of an "Act of God" to get their cell phone replaced? What has this world come to? Either Nokia is comprised of very sarcastic staffers or the general public has gone completely insane. You tell me.
