OH GOD IT'S IPAD DAY!

Speaking of which,  WHY THE FUCK HAS EVERY GADGET SITE, TECH BLOG, AND EVEN SOME GODDAMN NEWS SITES/PAPERS BECOME JOB'S PERSONAL WHORE?!!?

Sure, the iPhone is popular, but the amount of press the iPad is getting is not at all warranted.  Goddamnit media!  And fuck you apple for trying to ruin the world of programming and technology in general with your draconian censorship program that is the app store!

...I don't see how any gadget site could possibly NOT consider the iPad the biggest story of the past month.  Seriously.  What else is there?  Name another gadget that is as big a story.  Hell, make it six months.  A year.

As for general tech sites and even mainstream news sites, it's still news even for those less-nichey audiences.  It's a new product and it's flying off the shelves.  I can turn on the evening news on any given night and point to a dozen different stories that deserve less coverage than the iPad.

Goddamnit media!  And fuck you apple for trying to ruin the world of programming and technology in general with your draconian censorship program that is the app store!



You make a good point.  Maybe try toning down the histrionics so someone, somewhere might take you seriously.

Yeah, the MSM has absolutely been derelict in reporting Apple's capricious and arbitrary app guidelines.  The tech press, on the other hand, has covered them at length, and is not about to stop.

For something like that to get mainstream press coverage, it has to be something that affects average users in a way the public can understand.  "Sony music CD's put malware on your computer" and "Amazon can delete books off your Kindle without your permission" are things that affect ordinary consumers.  Apple's app review process, on the other hand, is more of a concern to developers and power users, so it's only going to get covered in outlets that target those audiences.

There's been a lot of Kindle discussion on comic book sites recently, for reasons which I assume are obvious.  I broached the topic of Apple's reputation for censorship; a poster made the good point that books are not apps and Apple will be much less likely to censor them.  I see a big hue and cry coming if Apple enforces strict content guidelines on books, just as there would be if they refused R-rated movies or songs with explicit lyrics.  (I remember the first time I ever browsed the iTunes Music Store, the title "Bitches Brew" was censored.  That's changed since.)

(Comics, of course, are generally considered to be inferior to prose books, so League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will come under more scrutiny than Lady Chatterley's Lover.  My guess, though, is that it would still get published, though probably with a content advisory stuck on it.)

(This is of course a hypothetical example, as I don't really expect Alan Moore is in a huge hurry to publish his works for the iPad.)

But they probably won't actually censor the content, so that's all right.

From the same story.  Note how it's censored in the title but not on the thumbnail.

I expect this to be a temporary problem that gets ironed out as they go.  (Certainly "sperm" getting flagged, but I expect they'll throw the word filter out entirely.)

I'm peeved that apparently the NY Times will let 19 year old fratboys write articles for them but they won't hire me.
