You're right -- "reasonable amount of time" is always a debatable amount of time. I actually agree that this kind of "shrinkwrap" or "clickwrap" agreement is very anti-consumer and is one of the aspects of UCITA that blows. I just want you to be aware that if you open this type of product, then read the EULA inside, then decide you don't agree, then return the product, you have an argument that is probably supported by UCITA (at least the model version issued by the NCCUSL) if the vendor disputes your return. Also, you have a good argument if the vendor seeks to enforce the license against you -- you never agreed to it because you returned it right away! It sucks, but it's better than nothing.
Regarding your last point: Actually, UCITA gives you a reasonable amount of time after you actually get the cd-rom open and have an opportunity to read the license agreement to reject the product.
It's so strange how under every Apple story,/. moderates some ignorant slob to the top. Squeezing a mouse is not inherently less intuitive than clicking a button. In fact, it's just an easy conceptual leap away from clicking a button. Of course, if your WINTEL-laden, flabby, sallow and gelatenous mind is so atrophied by mediocrity that you can't handle explaining that distinction to newbies, then I guess your point is well taken. You and your little M$ Mouse can go sulk in the corner surrounded by the comfort of your flabby intellect, clicking away on your right button. Meanwhile the rest of world will be evolving into superattractive superintelligent electro-bohemians while you pick your nose hair and try, try, try to pop that zit on your ass. Everyone else will be squeezing their mice, and when they're not doing that they'll be having fantastic sex in designer wearable fetish computers. Meanwhile, you'll be laughing to yourself as you sit alone watching that old "wazzup" superfriends.mov on your Winblows Media Slayer while your spread yet another virus to the other ten leftover cro-mag M$ users on planet Earth. "Where did everyone go?", you'll wonder to yourself. Oh, didn't anyone tell you? Everyone else is on Mearth squeezing their mice an having terrific sex and not missing you and your sour, hairy funk one iota...too bad you missed out. Maybe if you practice reeaal hard you might be able to get it, too. See...you just squeeze it, moron. Also, you're complaining about the asskissing of a site named "appleinsider.com"?
