Apple: You Must Be 17+ To Use Opera
An anonymous reader writes "From the techspot article: 'This week, the Opera web browser became the first non-native browser made available in Apple's Mac App Store. While Apple approved the browser, it still managed to hurt its competitor by putting this ridiculous label on it: "You must be at least 17 years old to download this app." Opera has reacted in good humor. "I'm very concerned," Jan Standal, VP of Desktop Products for Opera Software, said in a statement. "Seventeen is very young, and I am not sure if, at that age, people are ready to use such an application. It's very fast, you know, and it has a lot of features. I think the download requirement should be at least 18."'"
He's Norwegian. Norwegian leaders frequently aren't suits, but work the floor, is on first name with everyone regardless of rank, and pretty much get a whole lot more respect than the typical American boss.
(Yes, there are exceptions both ways)
It's subjective. In a debate on the matter, I once posted an image featuring not just a naked woman, but provocative posing and implied bestiality with a swan. Draw that today, it'd be called porn. But this painting was drawn by no less than Leonado da Vinci, and obviously someone so famous would never draw porn. Therefore it can't be porn.
Speaking of which, where is all the dirty dirty Android pr0n Steve Jobs promised me? The best I can find on the Android Market is some Kama Sutra DB with stick figures.
