Back then they had nothing to loose,now they do. The Hef dont care, and it would be sad if he was the only one who does. But we live in a different time. The new risks are not how we view the private sex lives of ourselves, but the public. Most of us has less guilt about stuff we do behind doors, but in front of them we still fear shame. The only people who take risks now are those who have played the game and acquired FU money and now speaking out about it. Capitalism trumps any sort of risk-taking now a days.

With the Soup Nazi (Steve Jobs) in a position to say "no soup for you!," really what do you expect Playboy to do? Well, I’m willing to cut Playboy, but not Apple, some slack.

What started as an iconoclastic company with a computer that was completely and totally yours (I mean the Apple I and Apple II here) has gradually turned into something else... Mrs. Grundy. Faugh! I get that they don't want to sell porn on their site, ok fine; except there is no other way to install another app on "your" iPad unless you jailbreak. I love my Macintosh, but I guess when the time comes I'll be turning back to the penguin. No sense in feeding the beast anymore.
