Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0
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."
I will *ever* not publish anything in the Apple store, as long as there is any limitation at all. I don't care, even if I lose most of my potential clients because of it. Mod me troll, but I think if they are stupid enough, to buy that crappy piece of shit that the iPhone is, and put up with all those weirdo and hypocrite US-bible-belt-style rules of Apple, that they would not be clients you want to have anyway.
Imagine them approaching your work with that attitude, and then spamming in all the forums and blogs on the net about it, with their retarded attitude. No thanks.
I hope that the USA splits up in retardo-country and a normal country as soon an possible. So good people don't have to be punished for the idiocy of others.
The more you will mod me troll for this, the more I will know how right I am. ^^
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
1. Person buys iPhone from Apple.
2. Person buys Newspaper app under assumption he will get news.
3. Person sees exposed mammary glands in said app.
4. Person sues Apple.
If you actively search for porn on the internet that's your problem, but if you find the same material on an application supported by Apple (not a porn company) then it's there problem. This was lawsuit waiting to happen, and now with parental controls they can shift the responsibility off of their shoulders on to the user, where it should be.
