Apple patents anti-sexting parental controls, proving Steve Jobs is a virgin - Polidicks

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;25387265]I really couldn't give much less of a shit about the privacy breach (because I'm not a stupid teenage girl), but how the fuck are these kinds of patents allowed? What the hell is wrong with the US patent office?[/QUOTE] What's wrong with the patent?

[QUOTE=Aquaphonic;25387325]What's wrong with the patent?[/QUOTE] Unless I read wrong (or too little), it seems like they're patenting something pretty general. Software patents that block general ideas halt progress. Of course, if I am reading wrong, rate me box.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25386909]Parents like to abuse their power of parenthood by looking through their kid's private stuff sometimes, because apparently we have absolutely 0 rights[/QUOTE] Yeah, because you're a child You are your parents' responsibility

I am okay with this.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;25382761]If this happens then teens that do this will just get a phone that's not from Apple.[/QUOTE] do teens even know that there are phones not by Apple anymore?

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;25387148]They have a million patents. They rarely implement any of them. I doubt this one means anything[/QUOTE] It's stupid in my opinion for a company/individual to patent things in mass like so then expect royalties. Feels like abuse of the system, which should be in place to protect individuals.

Of course, if I am reading wrong, rate me box.[/QUOTE] It's a patent on software which blocks sexting. A company can create something which does the same thing, but is different and use it.

[QUOTE=thedude13alt;25387929]Smart person texting Impossible.[/QUOTE] Yeah, only dumb people text one another :downs:

[QUOTE=TH89;25387964]Yeah, because you're a child You are your parents' responsibility[/QUOTE] I personally feel that once a child has reached their countries age of consent they should be given more freedoms, privacies, legal rights.

Ugh, bad as this [url]http://www.commonsensemedia.org/[/url]

This will work about as well as most forums' curse filter. It'll get bypassed as such: a$$

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;25389486]I personally feel that once a child has reached their countries age of consent they should be given more freedoms, privacies, legal rights.[/QUOTE] They are. The right to consent.

[QUOTE=TH89;25389566]They are. The right to consent.[/QUOTE] Here in Florida, someone who is 16 can actually consent for sex, even though the legal age is 18.

if apple can patent blocking words in a text message can i patent blocking words on a web browser this is a stupidly general patent, i cant believe shit like this gets through.

I want to blank your blank until you fucking blank your blank juice all over my blank then you can lick it off my blank and then I'll blank on your chest I'm sure all of you can roughly grasp what I just said gj apple, fuckin idiots

I'll be waiting to hear if some company sues Apple for stealing this patent from them. But if this is done, it will be a matter of days/weeks before someone makes an app that allows sexting if parents have enabled no sexting mode.

Hasn't anyone at Apple ever heard of the Scunthorpe problem? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem[/url]

I hate things like this, it's an invasion of privacy.

Suck my bobba

As much as sexting is or isn't a problem, things like this just promote rebellion and anger.

[QUOTE=69105;25382528]good, set some morals for idiots who even bother to do this. he's got my support.

Not because I cyber, yiff and sext.

I have yet to see any sort of problem with sexting beyond old people and a-holes going "Its not sex so its bad." Then you have the old people and religious people saying, "Sex shouldn't happen at all." the cycle continues, get over and for those saying its good...seriously, get over yourself.

Apple patents a lot of stuff just so other companies can't use it. So this is a good thing.

The use of it for education to kill off LOL-speak would actually be really good.

OP has forgotten Steve can't be virgin because he has a daughter. Lisa Jobs. [img]http://dataport.it/30th/gallery/capitolo2/lisa_jobsB.jpg[/img] Regardless, I call Apple's latest patent unnecessary.

fuck Apple and anything Apple related i always say
