"There is also a suspicion that Jobs is simply acting out of self-interest, calculating that pitching Apple as the Disney of computing will be a smart branding move that will earn him enough market share to offset the considerable loss of interest from those who want to see porn on Apple's amazing machines."
There are so many things wrong with that paragraph I'm not sure where to start.
1. Jobs isn't losing customers because of the no porn policy. Show me data to the contrary.
2. Digital porn is most frequently consumed in the browser. Uhm, remember that most lewd of all apps?
3. There is no suspicion that Jobs is acting out of self-interest (ie in Apple's best interest). He's required to do that by law.
4. David Gibson is a terrible writer.
