Why are people bashing Apple when this service is completely dependent on a parent activating it? Seriously people, stop with the stupidly blind hating and look at the situation.

I understand why parents would be concerned about this, so I understand that this could be valuable in some situations. It depends on how well it is implemented: we'll see.

Fuck. That.

Too far.

The resistance starts here, WHO'S WITH ME?
I'm pretty sure Gordon Freeman is. Owing to the lack of speech, we can only assume he communicates by iPhone.

Does the "resistance" involve opening a text-ing based sex line? I'm in, if that's the case.

The thing is though, they are only making it because there is a demand for it. I wouldn't put all the blame on Apple.

But you know what, I'm okay with this. It will create a flow of new euphemism for sex.

Hot crackers, I'd roger her boogly.

The patent cites the example of a student learning Spanish, who could have his texting privileges suspended unless he includes a specific number of Spanish words or phrases in his messages.
What the fuck? That's utterly ridiculous.

Oh for god's sake!! That's the most fun thing to do with texting!!! Why must they; first try to advertise safari as a usable browser and now take away a great benefit of being young and on a contract with O2!!!

... I'll be honest you've put the most thought into it so far. So yes, that is now officially what we are going to do. Bunch of dudes... Sexting each other, out of protest... Kinda reminds me of that South Park ep where people from the future come back in time looking for jobs so all the men have a massive gay orgy to stop the future from happening...

Maybe... We could just set fire to apple HQ instead?

Yes so instead of sending texts about having sex/drugs, the kids will just go and actually have sex/drugs.

Censorship has never and will never worked. People experiment when they want to and nothing, NOTHING will stop them. Especially some stupid apple gimmick.

APPLE RAGE!!! lol...no but seriously. Its not saying that Apple is going to keep you from doing what you want with your phone. What its saying is that its giving parents the ability to keep you from doing what you want with your phone.

In the meanwhile your going to have to get used to saying G-rated filth like "I wanna fill your whoohaa with goof juice". (see patton oswalt for more g-rated filth lol)

Hey, I cant wait to marklar your marklar with my marklar all marklar long, then get onto all four marklars and marklar the marklar with my marklar marklar...


something like that I'd imagine?
Is it wrong that my first thought was "You can't use 'marklar' as an adjective"?
I do believe this is my first encounter with a "fictional grammar nazi". I tip my hat to you, sir. Truly well played and nicely caught.

OT: This seems like an idiotic money scheme to me. The only parents who will buy this are overly concerned prudes who don't realize that either their child will find a workaround themselves or one of their friends will know one. Failing that, the internet will have a 'solution' the day this censor program hits anyway. Futile and pointless, but they'll still get money from the poor saps who don't grasp that it's futile and pointless.
