Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0

Posted by kdawson on from the minimallly-invasive dept.

mr100percent writes "Apple rejected the iPhone aggregator app Newspapers because of a topless photo in one of the app's subscribed-to papers. In the rejection message, Apple noted that Parental Controls have been announced for iPhone OS 3.0, adding that it 'would be appropriate to resubmit your application for review once this feature is available.' Rumor sites are speculating that Apple will relax their content restrictions once the 3.0 update puts parental controls in place. This may mean that apps like NIN will be allowed in the future."

    That is indeed a tasteless photo. How could they not be wearing a turtle neck sweater? This reeks of disrespect for The Jobs!

    Well we'll certainly miss whatever the fuck it is you were maybe going to write but didn't due to this.

    Do you have a link to what you've written for mobile phones thus far (android I'm guessing?)?

  4. I have a question about this passage by commodoresloat · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is there really that much difference between a horse and a donkey in this regard? I mean, why must the word of God clarify that they had donkey-size penises and ejaculated like horses? Do horses shoot significantly more (or less) "emission" than donkeys? Or are their genitals significantly larger or smaller? What if they had horse-size genitals and had emissions like donkeys -- would that make the girl in this passage more or less of a whore? It just seems like a strange detail to be hung up on, but if it's in the Bible, there must be a good reason for it.

      If you lived in an agrarian society all of your life, these differences would be significant.

      How about this revision:

      19 Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt and lusted after her paramours there, whose genitals were the size of Playstation 3s, and whose emissions burned with the fire of the Xbox 360.

    Newspaper app: allows a user to see an image of a topless woman. Status: denied.

    Like most Apple users, I find naked females disgusting.
