"Look at this magazine cover. It's Madonna. Madonna showing her breasts. Without nipples. Why? Because of Apple's silent censorship, that's why. We said it already: It's time to declare war against Apple's censorship. Steve, you are going the wrong way. In case you are not aware of it, here's what happened: British fashion magazine Dazed & Confused has made an iPad version of their magazine. Internally, they call it the "Iran Edition" because they have to censor any nudity, no matter how innocent it is. This is not the first time that this happens, but this is even worse, because nudity in a fashion magazine is actually editorial content: There are plenty of designers who use transparent fabrics or risque cleavages. Not to mention lingerie." http://gizmodo.com/5536323/open-letter-to-steve-jobs-its-time-to-stop-the-censorship or http://tinyurl.com/239ev4h -- Frode Hegland, director The Hyperwords Company www.hyperwords.net www.twitter.com/hyperwords
