Apple Begins Global "War on Erections" Campaign - February 24th 2010 Apple revealed today that is has begun phase 2 of its Anti-Erection campaign by revealing that it has removed thousands of Apps for the iPhone that it has deemed to contain 'Adult Content' The move has caused outrage across the developing community who see it as a further extension of Apple's overly tight controls of the content released on the App store.
Apple explained they had had customer complaints about the content of some of the Apps on the store, and had responded to them by having the Apps removed. However, many developers were not impressed:
“These applications were approved by Apple, and met their strict criteria,” one developer explained, “Me, and other developers have been working hard to push the boundaries of the technology. With its camera, its accelerometer, its touch screen – the possibilities are endless. Did you see the Wobble application? The one that makes a girl's boobs wobble when you shake the iPhone? Until those developers came along developed it there was no mobile phone on the planet that could do that.
“I know some people will say it is juvenile... but that is no reason to ban it. I mean, they have kept all the fart applications. There is iFart, Pull my Finger, Fart in a box, The Fartinator, FartBook. Severl developers have even made a Fart piano – every key plays a different Fart. By 2012 it is predicted you will be able to conduct an entire Fart orchestra... all on the iPhone.
“Now if Steve Jobs had announced that the iPad came with that straight out of the box, he might not have got such an underwhelming response.” [MORE] |
