Just to be perfectly clear - they are saying that using a particular piece of software can void a hardware warranty? Or is there something else I'm not understanding?
I'd like to see them explain how they designed their hardware poorly enough that software could harm it. Or is my knowledge of stuff that far off? That's not really a significant possibility, is it?
