But we’ll be getting iPhone soon too. Unfortunately, the display seems to be full of colors and shades of gray, so may not prove myopia inducing enough.

Remind me, however — when did sticking up for the rights of individual parents over societal dictatorship become left wing? That seems like a rather elephantine ideal at its core. Or have the labels really been that far frack-to-bunted in the black-and-white-are-one-too-many-options spin rooms?

What, not talking pointed enough? Too much thinking different, I guess…

The Internet has been a haven for porn since its entrance into the public sector, and Time now feels a need to report on how the iPhone is good for looking at it? Wow. The phone has a world class mobile browser, why wouldn’t it be, and what took you so long to realize it?

Also, if you are going to report about it, the least you could do is mention Apple’s refusal to allow any porn related applications on the App Store as well as the upcoming parental controls. No to mention, the number one form of parental control… Being a parent.

I forgot, it’s only worth it to report the negative side of a story…. C’mon Time…

(all negativity is directed at Time, not TiPB)
