I am willing to bet Jobs' is NOT as pure as he is trying to convence the world he is. If he is he needs to STOP trying to make the rest of the world as sick and twisted as he is. The buying public or is that pubic might just stop buying his crap that Jobs' Dictates what you can see on it.
As The New York Times points out, it’s been a long time since Joyce’s sprawling masterpiece Ulysses was considered obscene, but as the saying goes, “There’s an app for that.”
Now, it seems that a comic book version of Ulysses — intended as an app for the iPad — offended the sensitive souls in Cupertino, who would not approve it in part because of a drawing of unclothed human mammary glands.
Robert Berry, the illustrator of “Ulysses Seen,” said that an image of a woman with exposed breasts was one of the offending panels in the comic version of the book. He offered to pixelate the image or cover it up with a fig leaf, suggestions that were rejected by Apple. “We basically had to lose all of her body and just tighten in on her face,” Mr. Berry said. “It is rather disappointing.”
To Fascist-Dictator Jobs’ everlasting annoyance, the internet remains beyond his control and you can see the book at

UPDATE: Slate’s Big Money reports that a cartoon version of an Oscar Wilde story got the black-block
image-censor treatment over a gay kiss. The iPad really is turning into a Victorian computer.
