Well, that is your definition of "the idea of technology". It certainly isn't mine.

The 'porn is available in the browser' argument is not relevant. The browser doesn't have the full functionality of applications, nor the simplicity of use and customisation.

Oh, so now we are discussing how functional the porn is? How simple and easy it is to get? Apple has to not only allow porn on their devices, but has to make it as easy as the Facebook app too?

It's true that customers can choose to use other products (and the vast majority do), but that's not really relevant either. Apple knows that most of its customers have no idea about their app store policies. And of course there is no actual valid reason for censorship other than Steve Jobs forcing his own views on his customers.

I've heard this argument before. I think its sweet how people are so concerned that Apple is "fooling" customers, and "forcing" them to follow Jobs and his views. But non-customers like you know exactly what is going on, and are just trying to "educate" the Apple customers from their ignorance. Thanks, but I'll make up my own mind about what the app store policies are, and how they affect me. And I'll make up my own mind about what I allow Steve Jobs to "force his views" on me.
