When there’s a will there’s a way, and when there’s a loop there’s a hole, Steve Jobs is quick to learn. For years, Jobs has prevented Apple apps from offering anything even vaguely reminiscent of porn. While this February Apple did offer an “Explicit” tag among its various app categories, that disappeared as quickly as you can say Gizmodo. Since then, Apple has been cleaning up its reputation to surpass even biblical standards: no more was there, “And they bit of the apple, and they saw that they were nekkid.” While Tiger Woods probably sighed in relief, many other users moaned elsewhere.

The iPhone seems to be changing all that. As the abundant commercials show, if you can call up grandpa and show him a baby, you can just as easily call him up and show him a babe. And if you can call up a girl and see her braces, you can just easily call up a girl and see her bra … or more. You don’t even need an app for that. All you need is a phone number and some willing models. Thanks to Craigslist, the latter are fairly easy to find.

And so Apple has become a victim of its advanced technology. The human spirit proved it had the will, and thanks to the iPhone, it has found the way too.
