Slashdot Mirror

Hate to Reply to my own post; but apparently Slashdot Mobile doesn't allow embedding even a simple "a" Tag.

Here's what I was trying to link: http://www.ohmibod.com/app/

Apple's not far behind. Plans are already in the works for the iDildo. Mobile orgasms... there's an app for that!

You speak as if this thing doesn't already exist. When it comes to physical devices, the Apple ecosystem is a lot more mature (or teen if that's your thang).

Despite Apple's ban on sexy apps, the iPad seems destined for pr0n and other lascivious uses. Which makes me wonder: if one were to develop a tablet specifically for that purpose, what features would you expect it to have in terms of video support, security, etc? (Not to dissuade musings on "special attachments" but it's already been done (pretty much NSFW).)

When will they make iDildo?

They already have. iDildo

The new iPhone nano will not include a qwerty keyboard, as the new form factor would not allow it. I'm posting anon for obvious reasons, but as an Apple insider I will inform you that there is "slider" technology -- you see, the new form factor is a closely-guarded secret because it will be the must-have gadget of all Apple fans: it's a butt-plug! Yes, the gadget which all Mac users secretly desire but were afraid to ask for. What did you think they wanted to do? Pick up WOMEN? The female Maccies could simply use their imagination to put the iPlug to good use.

Hm. This is why I don't pay for a subscription to slashdot. (scratches ass) ok, time to haul out the trollbait. Just be sure to wash your hands after sprinkling it around.

• The FSF is approaching this 180-degrees wrong. Apple will actually gain something out of this as paying Johns^Wcustomers discover that they can't get help they desperately need, like "why can't I eject my CD from my computer without my keyboard attached?"
• The FSF will suffer another public relations blow in doing so, allowing them to dwindle into background noise.
• Apple will continue to sexually tease^W^Wsurprise its consumer base, because they like the cool shiny-plastic phallic shape that "it" comes in.
• The Windows old folks home will continue to go on, because, um, we really don't know what else to do with them.
• Get off my lawn. Ma, get my gun.

Ok, let's play it out:

• Windows is here and will stay, as long as Ballmer doesn't do something stupid like, oh, attempt to buy Yahoo with all of their cash money. Or, say, market video games. And cell phones. Maybe one of those thin-display thingys but with something geeky-cool, like a touch-screen...
• Apple's market share will continue to grow as long as they can brush aside criticism of their business model. Of course, this is nothing new - it's been going on for a long, long time and no-one has really perked their head up to notice until recently. Everyone will miss the real point - that as Apple continues to accelerate in market share,they continue to tighten their grip on their customers through vendor-lock-in. This model worked well for the Microsoft/Business relationship, but there are far more Joe Sixpack customers out there than their are John Cubedweller office workers. And Apple would really, really like to get to know you, your wife, and the rest of your family.
• Linux doesn't have a business model, no matter how much Red Hat would like them to. As such, it remains always beyond Joe Sixpack's reach, even though it's embedded all over the place.
• BSD is in a ship that looks alot like the USS Linux but the crew thinks they're out to sea, despite still being tied to the dock. Hence, it charts a course to nowhere.
• Solaris will do well in markets that were previously dominated by Solaris, accounting for a strong uptick in Solaris adoption. This fits well with Sun's new (no, not that old one, the new one) direction.

Why are people leaving the industry again?

'Presumably there's an Americanism at play here and the iPod was in his trousers rather than his pants, if not then i've a that feeling Apple could claim improper use.'

Or improper accessories, at any rate:

I mean come on....what could be a better accessory than this - http://www.ohmibod.com/ ?

I can't seem to Google one up (maybe you could look for a used one ;)

There is a similar product available called the OhMiBod, if the brand isn't important...

OK, but it's a pretty obvious play on name iPod and I was saying that I found it strange that the (predominantly) male geeks here hadn't mentioned it. The product that originally made me think of the name was called ohmibod and it literally looks like a rod, granted its actual name is more girl oriented.

I bet OhMiBod is next on Apple's hitlist - I mean, the thing even has a low level iTunes integration FFS!.

I think the only way you could worry Jobs is if you made a media device that physically pleasures the user

Too late.

I think you are confusing it with the OhMiBod...it does bear a striking resemblance...

Apparently someone did decide to make it... http://www.ohmibod.com/ Crazy, huh?

That's the coolest thing I've seen for the iPod ... holy shit!
