CMUcam disclaimer

While reading the CMUcam manual, our software team found an unusual disclaimer. This is the actual disclaimer from the official manual on IFI robotics.com. You can download it here under getting started.

"Disclaimer
No warranties, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the operation, use or results of this
hardware. This product is meant for educational purposes only. Any resemblance to real persons,
living or dead is purely coincidental. CMUcam2 void where prohibited with some assembly
required. Batteries and servos not included. Contents may settle during shipment so only use as
directed. No other warranty expressed or implied. Do not use while operating a motor vehicle or
heavy equipment. Apply CMUcam2 only to affected area. If condition persists, consult your
physician. May be too intense for some viewers and for recreational use only. Do not disturb
CMUcam2 during boot process. All models over eighteen years of age. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Freshest if used before date on carton. Subject to change without notice. Many CMUcam2
times approximate and many pictures simulated. Breaking seal constitutes acceptance of
agreement. This product is known to the state of California to cause birth defects. As seen on TV
one size fits all. My man the yellow darts comments not actually generated by the yellow dart.
Contains a substantial amount of non-tobacco ingredients. Colors may, in time, fade. Slippery when
wet. If CMUcam2 acts up; keep cool; process promptly. Not responsible for direct, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect, error or failure to perform.

Classic. Maybe they can't think of a real disclaimer.

Re: CMUcam disclaimer

Is this a combination of every disclaimer and warning label ever? Man, that's funny, almost too good to be true.

Re: CMUcam disclaimer

I noticed this a few weeks ago. I left the book open to the last page and happened to glance down and read an unusual sentence or two. I think someone had too much time on their hands...funny, seems like something I would do on a late night with little sleep and too much caffiene!

No, my rabbit got scared to death when it saw itself in the laptop while I assembled the camera.
