Apple was dealing with an idiot. Consider this: the person *buys* an app that is clearly adult, then runs it, gets offended and complains to Apple :-) What did they expect? If book aficionados were just as sensitive we'd have to complain about most fiction books in existence :-) But fine, if Apple has complaints about porn in apps they are free to not sell those. One problem, of course, is that if Jobs doesn't sell then nobody else can sell either... but that's another issue, and people already commented about that on this thread.
What I'm uncomfortable about is the position of Mr. Jobs (which he explicitly took in his earlier article and in this interview) that he somehow is blocking porn on iPads. That he doesn't do and has no ability to do. Jobs is exaggerating his effectiveness in blocking porn, and as I mentioned his subterfuge works.
Well, it wasn't an interview. It was an exchange of emails. If you haven't read the emails, then here is the link:
