Court Papers Reveal Apple Used Corporate Muscle Over Gizmodo Raid

What a load of BS.
Steve Jobs has managed to stop the browser on the iPad from pointing at porn sites has he?
Anyone with an iPad browser can point to any porn site they want, and view any porn text, images or video they want, or read the porn in their email. They don't need no stinking apps to do it.
Steve Jobs is such a BS’er.
Good on you Steve! I have a new found respect.
If you do, you'll come home to the cops raiding your house.
Peace, Love & Out.
Court Papers Reveal Apple Used Corporate Muscle Over Gizmodo Raid
I won't buy from those who impose their morals on me. I love my iPhone but that can change at any time. It's not whether I like porn or not..it is somebody else telling me what I can or cannot view.
>>Don’t have much God in your life, do you?<<
Like so many children, you seem to confuse having options and selecting those.
The absence of temptation is no moral high road. Rather, it is the road of the weak-minded and weak-willed who cannot resist.
I always opt for maximum freedom.
You can have your personally-created prison of the mind which relieves you of the ability to distinguish and choose. It has always been that way with moral facsicts and is clearly in evidence with you.
Your childish moralizing of being closer to God than those who desire freedom is just another example of how simple you are.
“Impose your ideas on as many people as possible.”
So in order to promote freedom, everything we create must be pornography enabled?
That is ludicrous.
Exactly right. Children with no minds of their own need to be told what to do by those willing to do exactly that.
>>I won’t buy from those who impose their morals on me. I love my iPhone but that can change at any time. It’s not whether I like porn or not..it is somebody else telling me what I can or cannot view.<<
You have but to read the invective being hurled at me to see how our fellow “conservatives” view freedom. I am pleased to see that some of us understand what liberty means.
“Yeah this is sure great allowing Steve Jobs to decide what I can and cannot see on my computer.”
No, he’s deciding what he will design his computer to do.
You get to decide whether to use it like a baboon or a decent man.
Your call.
Fascists actually dictate to producers what they have to make. If the shoe fits, wear it.
I see an art project for any wannabee artist.
Tate posted the email exchange he had with Jobs on Gawker's website. If the exchange is heated, it's all from Tate's side who laces his replies with profanity. Jobs kept his responses civil and to point.
Yep...to some it is only THEIR version of liberty that is correct.
Wait, the free market is fascism? Now I’ve heard anything.
Here’s another thing Steve Jobs doesn’t like — political oppositions to wildly-liberal Henry Waxman on his iPhone...

Yes, I feel much better knowing that Steve Jobs is looking out for me!
And just because I have the option not to buy his product, doesn’t excuse him from idiocy.
I’ve stopped buying many of my favorite mystery novel writer’s books: too much gratuitous sex and political lecturing that has NOTHING to do with mystery/murder plots.
If I wanted to read about ripping bodices and throbbing male organs I would buy romance novels - which I never do.
>>So in order to promote freedom, everything we create must be pornography enabled?

There is no such thing as “pornography enabled.” That is a chimera you have coined to create a false dichotomy. Who decides what is “porn?” If I am doing research on breast or cervical cancer or vaginal vs. cesarean section birth how can steve jobs or you discern that vs. mere salaciousness?
You clearly are unclear on what “freedom” means. If you wish, I can post links to the text of the United States Constitution and other documents that may clarify the matter for you.
Have never understood the “Apple” thing... They are a propriety group that makes it very hard for normal people to modify or upgrade their systems. That is why I can understand the PC crowd - at least they can make changes as needed.
I’m sure that Apple folks here will counter, but really, do you have to pay so much for upgrades? It is all about proprietary business options...
I want to upgrade my PC system at will and can do so economically, can’t say the same about Apple products.
I would guess that it has become a “in thing” to own an Apple device but eventually that will fade with age...
That is why I see Apple as a younger age thing and a temporary advance into the market. It will eventually catch up with them (after all, the average age is going up and the birth rate is going down...)
Well, kind of. Gizmodo was the site that bought the iPhone, but they are owned by Gawker.
>>Wait, the free market is fascism? Now I’ve heard anything.<<
Censorship is fascism. It may be legal fascism, but that is no less fascism.
Enjoy your self-welded chains.
