They're easy to spot, and shouldn't put up too much of a fight.

free porn.. and the problem is? 

Posted Tuesday 23rd December 2008 12:28 GMT

Stop

Perhaps if The Children spent more time looking at porn and less in church, they'd be a bit more balanced and healthy.

You can browse the INTERNET on the iphone. Where are the cries for banning the Internet?

Think of the Children 

Posted Tuesday 23rd December 2008 13:31 GMT

Who in their right mind would by their Children an iPhone.

Actually, scrap that. Those are the dumb parents stupid enough to put their children on the sort of tariff that give a free iPhone, and gives them the 50,000 minutes a month the kids need to talk to their friends

And they're gone...

You can get pr0n on an iPhone. Going to have to get me one of those now

So, basically iPhone users here are judging something on appearance before understanding how they work? Basically style over substance?

I'd never of expected that from a worshipper of Jobs.

Oh

"Where are the cries for banning the Internet?"

The government's already got that covered. They've sent a highly trained squad of soldiers to find the server that runs the Internet and shut it down using the large "Off" switch that their sources have assured them will take the whole WWW offline.

Why, any moment now we can expect to lose connectio-

That features Steve Jobs doing stuff to his iPhone.

By now you should be able to find a torrent file with all the dodgy pics in. Now transfer to iPhone.

Happy now?

Share and enjoy

Kids of today balanced - well erm most are...

Can I get AOL on my i-phone? 

Posted Tuesday 23rd December 2008 15:23 GMT

Coat

I was trying to think what the single most annoying thing anyone could say to me was, "Can I get AOL on my i-phone?" would probably push all my buttons so effectively that I'd be driven to beating them to death with the nearest blunt object, preferably something ;with an "i-" prefix in it's name.

Perhaps I just need to cut back on my caffeine. Mine's the one with the wrap around arms.

OMG forget the children. I've just had a look and seen the wife. OMFG.

Then the libraries named "home_two" and "home_s12" are full of it....

So basically what we're saying is: this person has sat and gone through every single library to see what's there? Don't they have something better to be doing with their life?

Actually, scrap that - they bought an iPhone in the first place... the only thing they enjoy more is worshiping Jobs.

Think of the children? (BS article) 

Posted Tuesday 23rd December 2008 15:47 GMT

Jobs Horns

If your kids own an iPhone with an unlimited data plan, there's nothing society can do to save them. Stop moaning about pr0n and admit your total failure as a parent.

That said, there seems to be a grand total of one (1) (particularly clueless) person complaining about that. Everyone else seems to understand the issue quite well, even if some people do suggest that MS should filter the content pre-emptively. Hardly the angry crowd you depict, and hardly worth a mactard-bashing article. But hey, mactard-bashing is fun anyway, so go ahead!

"unsuspecting iPhone users, presumably those unfamiliar with the way the internet works these days"

Wo? But I thought they all were supposed to be wankers. In which case they not complain to begin with?

Seriously now...

... well, kinda.

This sounds like a great way to drive adoption of the software. Well done, Microsoft! Now a lot of people will install the stitch thing because of this little piece of news, just to look for the treasure trove.

Title Required Why?? 

Posted Tuesday 23rd December 2008 17:55 GMT

Jobs Horns

I will give them this, I would have never known about that app if I didn't read this (then again I only have the Touch and barely use it at that). Though I will say if they are screaming about pron on the iPhone then maybe we should just block every Mactard from using it at all. Seeing as thats 90% of the net there anyway. Then they could keep their sensibilities and not have to look at that.

internet pr0n = ?

internet pr0n = iPorn!

Great, now everyone will want it!

Where's the evidence?

Without seeing these supposed porn images uncensored and raw, how can we believe they're actually there? Come on Reg, let's see some hot and juicy evidence!

Mine's the trench coat.

"OMG just used Google Image search and types in some rude words and OMG it's like well full of porn...."

You might try setting that SafeSearch thing to 'strict'.

Amazingly it doesn't actually govern the number of images related to safes displayed in each search! Bloody usless if you ask me.

... it's multitouching, smooth scrolling, deep-zooming MS pr0n.

Demo Version 

Posted Wednesday 24th December 2008 17:04 GMT

Before people get excited, remember that it's MS and it's probably a demo version. Based on past MS performance, a demo of half an hour of good viewing will turn into three seconds of action before the guy finishes, rolls over and goes to sleep.

Nope, no title for you today

>three seconds of action before the guy finishes, rolls over and goes to sleep.

Aww, you just described my lovelife :)

Pr0n on the Jesus phone? 

Posted Wednesday 24th December 2008 23:08 GMT

Go

I for one take it as a sign that the Church has been misleading the masses (who'da thunk it?) for the past decades.

Jealousy? 

Posted Friday 26th December 2008 11:28 GMT

Why all of the vitriol towards iPhone owners? I have an iPhone 3G, I bought it because it fits in with my needs and, unlike countless S60 phones, it works.

It seems to me that there is a great deal of loathing towards those people that can afford to buy things. Somehow if you buy software, music, movies, Apple kit, you are some sort of pariah. You should be content with home brew kit and OSS offerings. Well forget that. I've worked hard to earn enough money to be able to buy what works best for me. If you can't afford it, stop bleating about it. Jealousy is the worst of the seven sins.

It would be easy...

just ask to borrow it from the elders of the internet (because you won employee of the month), get it from the top of big ben (where it gets the best reception) and put it a faraday cage.

Typical Helpdesk Issue 

Posted Sunday 4th January 2009 18:58 GMT

Hmmm... Sounds like a typical age old issue here.

(1) Mac users. They always think that the fault is Microsoft's responsibility!!

and

(2) Users not understanding the systems that they are using, and blaming the system when its actually the data and the data inputters fault that the system is not running 'correctly'

When are users actually going to take responsibility for the systems and programs that they use to make sure that the data is correct.
