San Jose Escorts: Too Little? Too Much? Apple, Craigslist, Diverging in Approach to Sexual Content

TechCrunch is reporting, however, that the new guidelines might even ban swimsuits and fitness outfits. (Update: Except for Sports Illustrated.) This might be because what constitutes “overtly sexual content” isn’t any more clear for Apple than it is for Craigslist.
The San Francisco-based classifieds site ran into any variety of problems last year because of sexually based ads on its site (just two: a lawsuit from South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, which was eventually dismissed; Boston-area assault victims, one of whom was murdered, who were allegedly lured to their assailant through Craigslist ads).
Now, attention has returned to the Craigslist personals section, as two women have been accused by Boston police of placing ads for prostitution on Craigslist. (The incident followed two other arrests for prostitution in other Massachusetts cities.)

San Jose Escorts: Apple thinks women in bikinis are sexually inappropriate

Sexually chaste firm Apple apparently removed 5,000 apps from the iPhone app store last Friday, and came up with a set of rules that indicates the censors at the Cupertino minds have dirtier minds than their customers.
According to developer Chillifresh, it spoke with Apple at the end of the week and came up with a list of things that were sexually inappropriate and would warrant removal from the app store.
Those are images of women (and men) in bikinis, people in skating tights, people showing skin, silhouettes that could be forced to wobble, nothing with sexual connotations or innuendo and certainly nothing that could be sexually arousing.
Chillifresh has an application called Wobble that’s been on the app store because it has overtly sexual content. Chillifresh points out that the Playboy app is still on sale on App Store.
Sex does sell, but it’s obvious the puritanical Apple Inc doesn’t want its stlyish name to be dragged through the online brothel that is today’s internet.

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Many support unrestricted pot dispensaries

About 50 percent of those who took the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Pulse survey between Jan. 26 and Feb. 2 backed that position, while 23 percent said they should all be shut down. Nineteen percent said they should only be allowed at a few locations.
California in 1996 became the first state to legalize medical marijuana use, but it is illegal under federal law. Despite that, the U.S. attorney general last year said that federal agents wouldn’t pursue those following the state’s pot laws.
Reader Don Laskin said, “Drugs, gambling and prostitution should all be legal. Their being illegal costs billions that could be put to better use fighting real crime (murder, robbery, etc.) and is the height of hypocrisy (enough money in the bank and a person can do all those things without fear).”

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Jobs Mixes It Up With Adobe, Google

Jobs says Google wants to kill the iPhone with its new Nexus One smartphone and the Android OS. Jobs is reportedly upset because Google got into the smartphone business even though Apple doesn’t do search. Jobs called Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) lazy because it refuses to address bugs in its Flash media player — the reason, Jobs says, that Apple won’t support Flash for the iPhone and the new iPad. Besides, he added, the non-proprietary HTML5 format is the new new thing, so Flash’s days are numbered anyway.
The Politics of Ranting
Apple wasn’t the only company engaging in some netroots-based manueuvering recently. The Flash Blog — run by an Adobe employee not authorized to speak on behalf of the company — worked up some faux screen shots of what popular Web sites would look like on an iPad. Each image included copious white space where video should be — the result, of course, of a lack of Flash support. However, one of the Web sites was that of an adult entertainment company. Was Adobe playing the porn card, as Apple’s response implied?

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Freedom of Speech

If we take the Supreme Court’s ruling at face value, of course, it means that donations of money to organizations approving of terrorist activities, or even to terrorist organizations, can be defended as “Freedom of Speech.” It means that the bank accounts of donors to terrorist organizations cannot be lawfully raided as the previous administration was wont to do. The moneycan be confiscated, legally, from the terrorist organization, for some reason or other, I suppose. Maybe its not legal to take the money if it’s to be used for illegal purposes?
Hmmm… does that mean that Tom Delay and Billy Tauzin have to give their generous donations back to Pharma? You know, the “Freedom of Speech” tokens that they received in exchange for excluding the right of Medicare to negotiate fair drug prices, the Medicare Part D scam. Does it mean that Billy Tauzin has to give back the two million dollars in “Freedom of Speech” salary that he now earns as pimp, excuse me, president of that lobby? Is the thirty or forty billion dollars a year in overpayments by Medicare for the overpriced drugs to be considered “Freedom of Speech?”

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Schooling Schooler: Weekend of Feb. 21

The weather was perfect for my five-day tour of Sonoma wine country with my betrothed and the fermented grapes were also in fine form. However a pall was cast over my vacation with the realization that I actually trailed Nick after the first week of action by a game (Schooler: 3-2; Coyne: 2-3).
I pushed through the gloom, purchasing four cases during the stretch, but there was a hurt inside.
I lost the coin-flip that was the BYU-Chapman game, which I can deal with (although it made all of the Cougar pimping I’ve been doing for the last six months lose a little steam), especially since Nick’s UCSB blinders sunk him against Cal Poly. We both completely missed the comprehensive beat-down administered by Oregon against Cal and both hit Arizona over Texas A&M.

San Jose Adult Entertainment: The myth of the orphan – from Haiti to Hayward

The Children’s Aid Society that ran the orphan trains contracted with several private “handlers” who shipped the children to homes in the Midwest. Prospective families were required to go through a single interview with aid workers to qualify as a host home. After that original interview, the families and the children were never checked on again. There were countless stories of physical and sexual abuse, neglect, over-work and in some cases brutality of the “orphan” children reported later from those out-placements.
If there are no orphans, create them
Missionaries and philanthro-pimps of old almost always followed a certain pattern, which is consistent with most of today’s international orphanages: They spend countless resources to build the schools, boarding schools or orphanages with the intention of filling them with orphans, even if there are no orphans in the community. If there aren’t enough actual orphaned children, the churches, social workers and/or organizations will create them through a campaign of disinformation, based on an overall Western-held belief that people in poverty are inherently pathological and broken and therefore can’t care for their own children.
