Comments on: Hey Apple, Ban This! http://www.idownloadblog.com/2010/02/24/hey-apple-ban-this/ iPhone - iPad - iOS Fri, 25 May 2012 04:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Fábio Oliveirahttp://www.idownloadblog.com/2010/02/24/hey-apple-ban-this/comment-page-1/#comment-30893 Fábio Oliveira Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:36:04 +0000 http://www.idownloadblog.com/?p=80600#comment-30893 I agree that explicit apps described as business is a great mistake but I don't think removing them is the answer. Other improvement needed is to filter the AppStore to not show the apps we chose not to be available for download by their rating. Nowadays I can search for Playboy and see results even with restrictions enabled. Apple should fix this but let the content alone. Parents are and must always be responsible to choose the content they want their children to see. If you don't want your kid to see explicit content you should uninstall Safari from their iPhone (oh, you can't, sorry). The other option is not to give them an iPhone and let everybody else do whatever they want with theirs...

Americans are so over-sexed it's ridiculous. I say YAY! to the ban. I can't let my kids watch I Love Lucy because of the constant "Extenz" commercials. Why is sex EVERYWHERE? It's even in children's shows even though most of it is sublimal, it's still there. This world is being taken over by perverts with no morals and virgin/geeks who have no other way to see anything sexual except through their gadgets! Sex has no place on my iPhone.

About App Store. Could it be that the Apple guys didn't had enough time to organize the entire policy book? The App Store came out with the iPhone, this means about 4/5 years ago? Is it correct? The iPhone had a such success and the whole business ran so fast, that they didn't had very much time to organize a really strong policy tool in order to handle over 1 bilion apps, so, in the meanwhile, they accepted most of them, without a real check and now that they are slowly understanding what's good and what is not, looks like they are cutting off apps without logical reasons. Obviously, this is my point of view. Kind regards, Hi,

Just a short calculation 5000 Apps, each cost 2.000 bugs in average... means Apple destroyed the amount of 10,000,000 US$ of developing costs in one week. Those apps had been developed, because developers and customers trusted Apple - that trust just vanished into thin air. Don't you think those developers and customers will switch with their sales channel to the Android Shop now? What about real business apps? If a programmer switches to Android, don't you think he will use his new skills to recommend his customers pay him for developing apps for the Android instead of programming stuff for the iTunesStore, where you can not be sure your app will be deleted one day? Developers program business apps, sexy apps, whatever apps. And they are the unpaied sales persons of Apple because they tell customers how great the itunesStore is (was), and what the advantages are..... and now? The same disappointed programmers and marketing agencies run around, telling everyone that Apple acts like a dictator and if someone wants to have an app he should choose Android instead of Apple. I guess Google, Microsoft and Sony are really happy about that stupid behavior of Apple because it was the best advertisement not to develop apps for the iTunesStore anymore and to switch to Android, Windows Mobile or Symbian. Furthermore we are all adults and I don't want to be patronized by a software company. If I buy a device, I want to add on it whatever I want to. Imagine a car manufacturer wouldn't allow you to drive with the car you bought to a beach, because you could see bikini girls, or a navigation system wouldn't guide you to "red light districts" - lol. Anyway, I honestly wanted to buy an iPad, but I'm convinced that I won't. And I'm not the only one who is totally disappointed by Apple - my next mobile will be a Nexus One.

For me at least. It's hard to read the entire thing when I can't stop my eyes from rolling and losing my place.

The ones that are involved in and participate in the Sex industry are not in the majority. Just because it exists does not mean that those of us that object to it are hypocrites. That's the drawback to the elements of our Constitution. It's not that ALL Americans have two faces it is that with only 300 Million of us some of us may have differing moralities and viewpoints toward nakedness than others. If Apple was a dictatorship you wouldn't have the option of getting a Nexus One or even jailbreaking your iPhone. Dictatorship? Give me a break. As I mentioned, my issue is not the availability of the Porn it is the labeling of it as a Business, Productivity, Or Utility app. The Developer that spent, as you put it, "lot of money for developing apps that have been approved by Apple ..." wasted their money since all they did was create an app that displays a few pictures of scantily clad women. This was only an experiment in seeing how willing people were to waste money on a cheap app that displays a couple pictures so they could get their rocks off. I guess since naked breasts are so prevalent where you are you have no need to spend money on these apps anyway, so what are you complaining about?
