I am a PC gamer. I have a water cool completely custom case that I hand crafted from raw materials and PC DIY parts. The case is one of the smallest 3 120mm radiator cases that exists. I have a modest computer inside. The non-water cooling parts cost about $650 dollars and I upgrade the system about every 3 years and the video card about every 2 years.
I have been gaming all my life. I started with simple LCD portable games and we eventually got an Atari which I played the dickens out of. NES was too played until my fingers had blisters. I bought a PC in 1988 and have not looked back since (well except to play karaoke with my ex-wife). Games like Civilization, Battle of Britain, Ultima IV, Leisure Suit Larry, and Wing Commander took my heart.
Sytems I have owned:
Atari 2600
Atari 7200
Nintendo NES
X-Box
PC
Wii
I am also an avid technical scuba diver and have logged dives at 170' deep. I play paintball, softball, football, and all sorts of table tops games that include DnD and Axis and Allies. I am also in the process of writing my own table top RPG and have spent three years working on it. I have a woodworking shop and can make furniture, picture frames and the like.
I have a degree in Industrial Design. This makes me a designer of products, architectural way finding, POP displays, and user interfaces. I have also taught design at the college level.

First off, I adore Steve Jobbs and think he is a very original and very unique marketing person. I was impressed that he actually answers random emails from strangers and was quite willing to discuss things with them... though not overly surprised by this.
Secondly I think you forget that while the App store doesn't carry porn, obviously it is still freely available via the web browser in most Apple products. Not carrying porn in the App store is really no different than Sony and Microsoft not releasing porn games or video via their gaming consoles. It's a corporate decision. Porn is quite freely available elsewhere... so his stance regarding what's officially available via apps, video, etc on the ITunes storefront is perfectly reasonable especially given the difficulties of programming parental controls into these devices.
this wasnt a serious blog. dtoid didnt pick up on it and i thought it was funny so i posted so that maybe some who didn;t see could. thats all.
thanks for the response
