A user can go to any website on an iMac, MacBook, iPhone, iPod, or iPad. What Jobs is talking about is the programs in the App Store. The App Store in iTunes is not going to sell porno applications.

Totally aware of that. :o) I wouldn't buy a Mac for other reasons. My ex wife works at an Apple store and I sent her some standard video format file she couldn't open on her Mac...it's things like that .

Well, that is not an issue about restricting your freedom. It's about the differences between Unix and Windows. You can't just install a Windows application on a Mac without the application being ported to Unix. And if no one wants to spend the time rewriting a Windows application to run on Unix, you're out of luck. That's why I don't run Linux anymore.

Yep. The fact that Jobs has decided the iPad will not support Adobe Flash means 75% of the video content on the Web will not run. That is more important than not having separate Apps for Porn.

Granted, the lack of Flash capability cripples the web browser in terms of viewing a lot of Porn, so the two issues aren’t unrelated.

I thought Apple had learned its lesson about producing crippled products. It may be time to short Apple stock if they have returned to their control-freak roots.
