Steve Jobs "Freedom from Porn" emails posted on Gawker
 

Hi guys,

I know some links are kicking around to other picked up and second hand articles about the recent heated email exchange involving Steve Jobs. Thought I would post a link to the source, the reporter from Gawker who was on the other end.

All the emails are reporduced here, word for word (with a few omissions):

Steve Jobs Offers World Freedom from Porn

Gotta hand it to the writer, when most people would cream their jeans Jobs is even responding he holds fast and doesn't pull any punches. :thumbsup

He is on anti-porn tirade.

pretty dumb of him to go against porn, especially considering iphone's/ipad's target demographics... :2 cents:

I think he really needs to step back just a bit, until he's healthy and feeling a little more rational.

I also gotta love how this reporter keeps sticking it to him about Flash and Adobe.

Jobs has just been very very bitter as of late. As I've mentioned in the past I can't blame him, who isn't a bear when they are sick. His health is very poor, and his dedication to his company is extremely admirable, but for the good of the company and for the good of his public image he needs to really reconsider what he's been saying lately.

Its not the end of the world, Steve. The stock won't crash if you take a much needed vacation. Its time to unplug for a few months. He needs to start thinking about setting the company up in the event of his absence and not treating them like a bunch of little kids who are going to burn the house down the minute he turns his back. The fact that he's so gung ho about hanging in almost makes me wonder if they really can pull it off without him.

pretty dumb

wtf he is somekind of radical pope?!?

who fucking cares if he doesn't want porn on his devices.

go promote google products..

Adapt or die!

It's un-stoppable

Really? They created the iphone and ipad for porn? I had no idea.

why aren't people upset about the blackberrys? Oh wait, the browser on those suck ass so you have no chance for porn.

Every time someone mentions porn and apple, apple may lose 50-100 customers that want to watch porn on an iPhone or iPad (because they do not know they already can) but they gain a few 1000 moms that become apple fans. You and I both know you can watch porn on an iphone or an ipad. It is already out there and available. The only thing you cannot have is a porn app in the iPhone/iPad app store.

Another reason not to buy from Apple. thanks.

I was hoping he would die and I still am. This is the douchebag would completely shut out his daughter for the first 16 years of her life. He supported her (because the law made him) but he wouldn't see her or even acknowledge her existance.

I've seen a bunch of porn on an iPad.

For someone who used to ingest hallucinogens, you would think that he would be a bit more open-minded.

I don't wish death on him, but I did not know that about him.

I hate when people do that to their children, its so wrong. No matter what transpired between the parents, if its your kid its your kid and its not the child's fault. Love and cherish them always.

obviously not specifically for porn, but they created it for young adults, many of which are porn consumers.... :2 cents:

Yeah freedom from PORN because sometimes malware infects your computer and pops PORN sites you didn't go to yourself. He is absolutely correct.

As an adult webmaster who profits from porn this doesn't insult me because I don't work in shady porn installs or things like that. People looking for porn can search and find my pages, I don't force it on people who might not want to see it. And I'm not even getting into adult email spam. It all gives us a bad name.

Let's perpetuate freedom by restricting stuff!

If Steven needs to be freed from porn, maybe he should go into one of those sex rehabs.

Can't he just go away already, asshole.

How about freedom from expensive proprietary monopolistic computer companies who use fruit for their logo?

What he railed against and hated most, he has become :disgust
