Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

The internet has made this world real close. Our conversance and disagreement now needs just few ‘type-ins’ and ‘clicks’ to be put across. As blogs, forum postings, articles and comments, today, personal deductions, however gross, irrelevant or unnecessary they are, can be put across easily for the others to know.
I just stumbled upon one news on the Apple’s decision to exclude Google Voice from its list of iPhone applications. Scoffers have started to jibe on the decision by drawing parallel to the iPhone creator’s decision of including ‘iWet T-shirt’ - a PG-13 rated game developed by Synapse Communications (an Indian iPhone application development major - http://www.synapse.co.in/clients/ip_iwet.shtml) in the list of its applications.
Google Voice, no doubt, is a useful application. Rejection of the same would upset many iPhone, and all Google, fans. But the way the scathing remarks have been directed to Apple, I doubt on the (seemingly) ‘purist’s’ credentials. They sound more like Apple’s diehard anti, than ones anyway near to being seekers of an adult /sex theme-free list of iPhone applications.
If Apple has approved iWet, it also did it with a word of caution by rating the same with PG 13. It now entirely remains in the discretion of user to download the application.
Perhaps days of unnecessary fistfights and derisions against adult theme-oriented applications/websites are over. In the web world, where access to everything interesting is just a click away, we need to be more ingenious in setting our priorities and open towards abiding holistic regulations.
