Apple Mobile Devices Cleared For Use On US Military Networks

Posted by timothy on from the siri-what's-the-best-way-to-launch-a-nuclear-missile? dept.

puddingebola writes with this excerpt from a Bloomberg report: "The Pentagon cleared Apple Inc. (AAPL) devices for use on its networks, setting the stage for the maker of iPhones and iPads to compete with Samsung Electronics Co. and BlackBerry for military sales. The Defense Department said in a statement [Friday] that it has approved the use of Cupertino, California-based Apple's products running a version of the iOS 6 mobile platform. The decision eventually may spur a three-way fight for a market long dominated by Waterloo, Ontario-based BlackBerry.'" Also, Apple devices are best for uploading viruses to alien craft.

    "I hate niggers and wish they'd all die! -- It's a joke people!"

    "I wish all them faggots would catch HIV! -- It's a joke people!"

    "We should nuke them fucking fairy jews! -- It's a joke people!"

    Pro tips:
    1) If you have to explain to people that it was a joke, it wasn't a very good one.
    2) Saying something hateful, then claiming you were "just joking," is about the most toothless, cowardly way of sharing your prejudices. If you feel the need to hate someone, be man enough to express it and own the consequences, without trying to deflect responsibility for it, Nancy.
