Steve Jobs Offers Freedom From Porn

The Apple co-founder is engaged in lots of fights at the moment. They insist upon doing everything their own personal and largely secret way, so they find companies like Adobe to be a real annoyance. Apple has always been more than a bit arrogant and vastly overpriced.

Now Steve Jobs has made the dubious claim that Apple can offer users of the internet “freedom from porn.” Frankly I don't want Mr. Jobs to become the censor of what I see or don't see. What supreme arrogance on his part.

I don't look at much porn frankly. I take about as much interest in this subject as I do in hearing self absorbed homosexuals or gay cross dressers go on about their sexual fantasies. I would be far more interested if some computer company were to offer users a guarantee of freedom from hidden marketing tracking cookies, theft of my private or personal information, pop-ups, viruses, and all the various types of con artists and malware that one runs into daily on the internet.

Apples are still overrated and horribly overpriced. They are like the Toyota Lexus. Both are for people with severe ego deficiencies who are so demented that they enjoy wasting their money just to try and appear to be more successful than the Joneses.
