I hope that Steve Jobs, who happily credited himself as an openly adherent member and ambassador of the counterculture that fought for ideas like this to be acceptable in a then over-conservative society, is rightfully turning in his grave.
- mrich 14y agoLet's not act like he would have cared about this while he was alive. Apple's products and services always place family-friendlyness over any kind of free expression.
- chris_wot 14y agoSteve Jobs was quoted as saying "those who want porn can get an Android". I'm very much afraid you are wrong on this one.
- vacri 14y agoIsn't that exactly what mrich is saying? Family-friendly over porn? I remember reading a quote of Jobs where he said 'no-one wants porn on their phone', when clearly porn is popular enough that plenty of people do.
- StCroix 14y agoYeah as I say, "I hope"... maybe even retrospectively from atop of his own 'iCloud'. Please read my comment as slightly tongue in cheek, I'm well aware of his later-life stance on adult material.
- chris_wot 14y agoI lol'ed at the iCloud reference :-) sorry, I didn't read the humour, should not have been so abrupt!
- lucian1900 14y agoHe even, very ironically, said iOS gives you freedom from porn.
- kalleboo 14y agoSteve Jobs wanted to offer people "Freedom from Porn". Seems he was pretty conservative in his older days (I got this impression from his biography as well, but I can't back that up). http://gawker.com/5539717/steve-jobs-offers-world-freedom-from-porn http://gawker.com/5539717/steve-jobs-offers-world-freedom-fr...
