Not much of a surprise as the (or one of the) first two way video conference systems developed at Cornell called "CU-SeeMe (pronounced "See You See Me") was used for exactly this purpose. Not the developers intent, of course. I found a web page describing the project: http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/Letsnet/frames/bigideas/b9/b9u3l2.html The part I found amusing was the requirements section that included: Internet access: Medium-speed (28,800 BPS via phone) or higher. We have come a long way.

With more than 3 million of the phones already sold, the adult industry stands to make big money on this new way to reach out and touch someone - even if it puts Apple, which has always taken pains to keep its iPhone apps squeaky clean, in an awkward spot. In at least five cities, Craigslist ads seek models specifically for video sex chat on FaceTime. Many of the ads even offer to throw in a free iPhone 4 for the new employees. .. <http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_APPLE_IPORN> RSS Feed: <http://www.warpspeed.com/wordpress> ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?& Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?& Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
