I have an intense amount of what I suppose you could call porn (ask for details if you dare
) on my phone, but only because I was dumb enough to leave bluetooth on and unsecured around my brothers friends. These guys can't install an antivirus on their computer but they can electronically distribute filth to any and all within bluetooth range and apparently all their friends do it and all their friends do it so beware. You too might innocently open a bluetooth message to see a woman doing an impression of the sarlacc with her anus.

Iphone doesn't have bluetooth file sharing, it's bluetooth capabilities is only for connecting a wireless headset.
Yeah I dare, if you don't want to derail the thread you could PM me haha

lol... abyss clearly didn't read my message fully.. or understand it... and Bekanor didn't understand at least part of it.
for 100% clarity... here is what i said, in simplest terms.
1. Every mainstream (non-porn) company that provides content, or the means to view content, will publicly take a stance against porn, and will NEVER officially support the ability to access porn content directly. nevertheless, it's easy enough to access porn on anything that accesses the internet, and easy enough to add porn yourself to anything that can playback video content, and/or store pics.
2. Jailbreak the phone, and do anything you want with it.
that's it.
inferences that i give a fuck what you think about Jobs are products of your imagination... just dont you think Gates would be much different if asked directly. i DON"T CARE whether or not he would "shoehorn" it in... that's a characterization of what happened in that interview on your part, and i don't care whether or not it's accurate.
i also do not care whether anyone here uses apple products or not.. i use some, i do not use others.... i like some, i do not like others... i love some, i hate others.
you guys are in love with making up extra shit about me and my attitude regarding Apple that i never said, or did. well carry on, because i also don't care about that either.
you cry about how Apple products try to force a closed system... like the app store... etc... well, what about Xbox eh? i can only connect with a PC/Windows computer.... why? why's that? that's just one example..... EVERY big company does this same shit, for fuck's sake.
fucking crybabies, effin' 'ell
also, DRM does not bother me... not one bit. i don't care about it. doesn't cause me the least issue. too busy working and living life to worry about whether or not i can copy a movie to 6 computers (you can have DRM'ed movies on up to 5 computers through apple, and that's enough for me) or let my friends copy it for free.

Well, I guess I owe you an apology here, James, as you were right I didn't read your message fully. Guilty as charged.
No I don't make up any extra shit about you, again apologies if you're addressing me here too.
I didn't mean to upset you at all, it's just another company who's going the 1984 route and it's him claiming moral responsibility which I do not buy into. It's about control, not about morals.

no, i think it's much much much more about protecting profits.... and not different from what every company does, and will continue to do. i think he's perhaps taking this "morality" stand because he somehow feels it speaks better than outright admitting it's about profits.. just speculation on my part... but again, i don't really care.
apology accepted... whether or not it was sincere.

I sincerely and honestly am not trying to reignite something that is clearly done and dusted but I have to ask, if you don't care dude why did the last page happen?
because of what i DO care about... unwarranted one-sidedness. when i see criticisms leveled on one thing, to the exclusion of others that are equally deserving of the same criticism... i often choose those moments to speak up.
Bekanor
Renegade Folk Hero
Yeah but those other equally deserving things aren't the subject of discussion at the moment. Moreover, that would almost certainly lead to a Mac VS PC thread which is paramount to wearing a Slayer t shirt in church around here or at the very least an Apple VS Microsoft argument which boils down to a very pointless "companies run by rich white assholes operate solely for the continuing wealth of rich white assholes" statement of the blatantly obvious.
i'll have you know sir, that I am a "white asshole"... and as soon as i can find the office to sign up for wealth.....

I have aspirations of going into software engineering proper.
Look for a feature article in Forbes in 10 years on me called "Nobody saw this white asshole coming, now check out how rich he is, fuck."
If I ever finish my fucking degree anyway, feels like it's been forever.

Fancy a pint? Or two?
Words to live by.
I enjoy watching companies having competition and doing well at selling their products, but the constant attacks are getting stupid. So Apple doesn't support porn apps? Whoop-de-friggin'-do. Android supports porn? 'Nother whoop-de-friggin-do. They just take out the middle man. Try not to get a mental picture of a middle man in a porn app.
Insulting and accusing the other side does NOTHING. There is no profit in calling the other side names.
Not that I would support it *insert the largest sheepish grin here* but it would be quite interesting to see how a 3G device completely dedicated to porn would sell. You gotta admit that Apple is shooting itself in the foot financially by not supporting porn. The porn industry is huge and can be quite lucrative if played right.
And trying to beat it off with a cell phone in a bathroom? Why do you think Apple just made the iPad?

If you honestly think that's paraphrasing, then you really need a job at Fox News.
Fuckwittery and a cheap shot. Did you ever hear of scare quotes?
Steve Jobs claims moral superiority in that article, I just used that claim and emphasized its irony in the thread title.

Read, learn and try better next time
FTR, I'm the complete opposite of what Fox News endorses and to lighten up this thread:

Fuckwittery and cheapshots? Hardly. Not to mention you weren't using 'scare quotes,' you were trying to make it seem like Steve Jobs said the bullshit statement in the thread title to get attention. When called out on it, you said it was paraphrasing, which it CLEARLY was not, and then backpedaled to this 'scare quotes' bullshit when I called you out on that.
Again, he never claims moral superiority - he says that Apple has "a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone."
Read, learn, and try better next time? How about you don't make bullshit statements backed up by bullshit logic and improperly used quote jargon?
If you actually read the wikipedia article you linked to, you'd see that your 'evidence' actually works against you.
Once again, I'm forced to call into question the literacy of a forum member.
