MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

"Sites from the dark side of the Web are already rushing to buy QuickTime Pro licenses" lol the porn industry buys licenses? Get real.

let the rants begin!!!

Finally I have something to threaten my girlfriend with...

Ok so here comes iCrystal and a prudish puritanical tirade.

in three... two...one...

Finally I have something to hold in my other hand...

OKAY... WHAT'DYA EXPECT?

Now, the iPod avec Video will be a success!

Finally I have something else to tape to the headboard instead of a old tired centerfold...

Finally I can make it through airport security without raising eyebrows...

This is disgusting. All of you liberals are at fault for the corruption of our society.

God save us all.

FOR SALE

Used Apple Video iPod, works perfectly, slightly stained and coated with baby oil, screen scratched. $200. Call 555-3467 evenings.

Keep your ears open for the first arrests for iPod public indecency - the same kinda thing that has happened with playing porn on DVD players in cars. Somehow I expect people will jump on the iPod hype to make iPod indecency a hotter issue than car DVD porn.

Where can I get one of these devices?

I see arrests coming when someone DOES show it to the girl next to them on the bus (and a lawsuit to the site that suggested it)

MW: appropriately, "showed"

It gives new meaning to the words "Are you glad to see me or is that an iPod in your pocket?"...

I think Bogi is right about this...Distribution channels and the ability to easily hide or disguise it make it a foregone conclusion that kids will get involved more easily. But iCrystal....don't ascribe a particular political orientation to the growth of porn...on ipods or anywhere else. Sexual behavior is not something that HAS a political or religious orientation. That's a myth. Otherwise the string of scandals of TV ministers, and catholic priests would not have happened. I think it comes down to openess and honesty between parents and children and a less repressive attitude toward sex in general. The iPod is a brilliant piece of hardware but what about the PSP and the Archos devices that also play video? Why isn't the porn industry "rushing" to get their content on those devices?
It's because of critical mass and market size. It makes more sense to pursue the largest market. What's a parent to do? Get your kids something OTHER than an iPod that plays video like the Shuffle, The Nano or a used mini. Plenty of good choices.

The President, on the other hand, is a good Christian man. He practices pre-emptive attack, just like Jesus did.

Porn is for losers...

Including the MDN webmasters who think this is worthy of their site.

More reasons for Islam to hate the USA.

Don't worry, George W. Bush and Alberto Gonzalez are now <a >diverting FBI resources away from the War on Terror and toward shutting down the porn industry</a>. God bless George W. Bush!

I thought there were tags allowed here.

Why do they keep calling pornography industry the "adult industry"?

If you're not into porn, does that mean your not an adult? Do all adults like porn?

Just a thought.

GO PORN INDUSTRY GO! And f*ck the Democrats...

MacMania,

Excellent point. They call it the "adult" industry because there is no kind word to describe the brain dead individuals who participate in it.

"This is disgusting. All of you liberals are at fault for the corruption of our society"

And yet another amazing demostration of complete ignorance.
Liberals, yea right.

I just hope there will be some way for me to get a Sweet Pussy Pauline live show onto my pronPod.

The FBI is willing to PAY people to sift through porn all day? Where to I sign?

It's a far, far bigger and more mainstream industry than most people realize. This was a pretty good piece on 60 Minutes:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/11/21/60minutes/main585049.shtml

It's good "Christian" men like GWB and their ilk who by their example have lead me to renounce all religions, whatever ideals existed in the ancient writings have been perverted over the centuries especially by politicians, and of course I don't mean just Chritianity, all of them.

Oh yeah, porn on iPods, ehhhh whatever...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, anyone who watches or glorifies porn in any way is scum. Technology is becoming the best friend of sin. It's no wonder why this country is so lost morally. Keep this crap off MDN, and you porn addicts here need to stay the hell out of here. We're sick of your childish perversions and infantile comments. Keep your sick filth to yourself.

". . . so they can create viral transmissions intended to pounce down the broadband pipe . . ."

Way to go, Jonny!
Siggy Freud would be so proud of you!

Biff, you actually believe the garbage on sixty minutes?

Now we'll hear the Bible-thumpers revive the charge that Apple is a Satanic force because Darwin proves they support evolution. And now pornography??!! They'll soon wage a new campaign aimed at drawing in $millions by fleecing the gullible flock. Well, a fool and his money...

MW: types. It takes all types to make a world, but why are there so many fools?

Is that an iPod in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

I happen to like porn. . . . .will all you (sick)meddlesome bastards just mind your own business and leave me alone? I don't givs a rat's ass about your personal lives, please return the favor.

Well, beryllium, there IS a bite missing from that Apple logo! Ahhh, sweet temptation.


General Rule:
"Just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean there aren't people out to get you."

iCrystal's last name is Meth.

MW = got
as in, got ya!

With all due respect, nobody is forcing you to download porn on your iPod, just as nobody if forcing you to download music with explicit lyrics on your iPod.

If you don't like it, don't watch it. There. Wasn't that easy?

I wouldn't download porn on my iPod (not to say I don't watch it every now and then with the Mrs.) but it's an interesting aspect of the video iPod in terms of how the porn industry adapts. So MDN is correct to post it. It IS an interesting story, even if you're against porn.

iCrystal,
Do NOT tell me WTF I can and cannot do, where I can and cannot go. You need to get a clue about our "Christian" leader Bush. He is MILKING YOU! His father lost his reelection due to your people; the idiots of over-zealous faith. So Dubbya's campaign managers knew how to win.... play up to the religious freaks. You freaks bought into it hook-line-and-sinker! So now we had him for 4 years. He was trash for the 4 years, and re-election came around... he played up the "terror" factor... and scared YOU sheeple into backing him again. So YOU fucked the US for 4 more years.

Bush, the "reformed" alcoholic ( http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2001/07/26/drunk/ ), cocaine snorting ( http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/10/18/cocaine/ ), Texans oil millionaire really understands how you live and what you are about. Buy a fucking clue you dolt!

The Dude abides

Another thing iCrystal...
Telling me to stay off MDN is BS.... MDN is about Apple and Apple products. If you want to spew your religious bile about how we are so bad, go to your mormandailynews.com and spew it there.

MDN is reporting something that is compatible with the iPod and therefore is relevant. And stop passing judgement on me, because I though GOD was supposed to do that... not iCrystal.

The Dude abides.

Hell, this just means I can load my self shot video of my wife on my iPod so when she is away I can still enjoy her!!!!


MW: must - "I must have my porn!!!"

Porn serves many purposes. To pubescent youths, it not only serves an educational purpose, it also facilitates the release of pent up tension that nature [God for you, toll-iCrystal] bestows on young members of the species by raging hormones designed to get you to impregnate any female like object for the purposes of recreation. No one can fight these hormones. As you no doubt know, even priests who've taken vows of celibacy get into trouble for their love of succulent lamb. Better they be served with porn so that they can release the imperative quickly in, say, a quiet moment alone in the confessional.

As for education, how else can a youth learn about the infinite sweet and delectable ways nature allows one to be stimulated? Do parents inform their children about the joys of oral sex? Does the Education System or church do so? No! So these poor sods go down blind essentially -- a hit or miss affair. Isn't your partner sometimes too embarrassed to ask you add some spice to your jousts? Porn educates and facilitates. Better a few minutes with porn than thirty with your neighbor's pinched lace.

Prohibition -- or quasi prohibition by moral bombast -- never works. Transparency, on the other hand; frankness and openness is better. That's why the Founding Fathers of the nation championed Free Speech and separated the church from government. And Liberals, by the way, iCrystal, can make you come to their point of view more exquisitely.

Religion is the root of all evil.

The problem will be, as pointed out, when people start watching it in public or semi-public places, like buses and subways.

I'm no prude, but there's a time and place for everything, and on the bus is not it. I mean, over-the-top public displays of affection (e.g. frenching and necking on buses) are already frowned upon.

Believe me, in six months or less there will be a class action lawsuit by the so-called moral majority (Republicrats and Hilary Clinton included here!) against Apple for their "negligence" for not having some magical "decency flag" built-in. Me, I'll be solidly against it.

The flip side is, the controversy will reach the ears of people who had no idea this was possible, further driving up iPod sales

Correction: for the purposes of procreation [Freudian Slip if ever there was one].

Say what you will about the porn industry but it is always one step ahead of mainstream entertainment when it comes to technology; they were the first to make money on the Internet. Now with PSP and iPod downloads they are promoting their sites to new users.

Of course it is only a matter of time before some self-appointed moral guardian makes it their business to fight portable porn. Apple will be brought into disrepute but SONY will get most of the blame because the PSP is seen as a child's toy.

First thing a bible thumper does is attack sex because this is the only thing that is stronger than their brainwashing.

All the soft minded females I know have been going to church as of late and come home to their hubbies with their minds filled with propoganda.

The preachers are hyping up the "hurricanes" as God's wrath because their flock don't know what the real reason for them are. (global waming from too many people) The preachers play this guilt trip on their own people, tell them to stop using the interent where free information flows.

You are what you know and most religions are just cults with more members.

MacHeads are product/company cultists in their own way.

Parrotheads are JimmyBuffet cultists in their own way.

Bikers are mostly Harley Davidson cultists in their own way.

Democrats and Republicans are political cultists in their own way.

So iCrystal why don't you snuggle up in a nice blanket, play with your toy and dream of that hunk you saw on Smallville last night and leave us alone? Because your really just a hypocrite or a sexually fustrated lady. Because PrOn isn't going away and you just wind up isolating yourself from normal human beings with your talk.

I CREATED SEX, IT'S NOT EVIL, USE WISELY, ENJOY - GOD


MDM Word: "Off" like go ahead and get off if you need to because a relationship should be based on love and not just sex.

Will watching porn on an iPod renew the age-old debate on the importance of size and whether it matters or not?


MW: moved, as in moved to a different existance

Listen, ICrystal is a poser, it's obvious to anyone who has been on the net for awhile and watches the net culture. The purpose of ICrystal is to post outlandish relgious comments so that the poster can enjoy people responding in a negative manner. It happens all the time on the net and it's obvious that's what's happening here. Can we at least get a fair "religion bashing" going on by having an IMuslim, and an IBuddist?

This ranting against Christians is so old, and unfortunatly happens so often on the net. It's designed to get hits, just like the anti-apple bashing that Rob enderly does, just on a different subject.

Yeah, but Christians are much more fun to bash. They're so . . . rightious.

Wow. A litany of responses. I imagine the wailing in hell does not rival the moaning I hear from proclaiming the truth.

Well guess what, the TRUTH hurts.

Me being Mormon is irrelevant.

The sins of your lives bleeds through your transparent skin.

I am comfortable in knowing where I stand with God.

Do you?

iCrystal is a troll; probably a bloke too. MW: slooowly.
