Old Geezer Surfs Porn On Apple Store iMac?
An elderly man was spotted all hunched over at the Apple store on Regent Street in London leisurely surfing his favorite nudey sites with reckless abandon. According to bystanders, everyone in proximity could see exactly what he was up to but nobody seemed to care. It was not confirmed how long the iMac peep show went on, though the old geezer did not appear to be a new comer to this Apple store oddity. It's possible that the Public Library porn surfers have found a brand new place to play. That's real creepy.

This situation is not a common occurrence, but certainly is something that employees are aware of and handle. If you've ever been to Regent Street or any of the other large stores, many (most?) of the display computers are being used by people to check their e-mail, post forum messages, engage in instant messaging--exactly what Apple wants them to do. However, this open and unfettered access to the Internet also brings this issue of appropriateness. Interestingly, if you follow the public library field, they've been having a debate over open access for several years. In general, libraries have refused to restrict public computer access, but rather have handed out screen shields instead.

I work at an Apple store and that totally happens all the time. It's like people think, "Oh dude, I'm on a Mac, no one can see this porn!" Although, I think that the iPod touch might be the perfect portable porno device.

It's an escort site. Not porn. He was probably doing a price comparison...

Ich finde es nicht schlecht das es Erotik Webadds für das iphone gibt, ich bin der Meinung es sollten noch viel mehr Erotik Portale ihre Seiten für das iphone optimieren. Ich persönlich kann euch 1 kostenlose Erotikseiten die Spitzenmähsieg optimiert sind empfehlen, die eine Seite http://www.erotik-kleinanzeigen.com ist zu 100% kostenfrei, man kann kostenlos Anzeigen schalten, Anzeigen merken, Nachrichten an Mitglieder verschicken und man hat sogar ein eigenes Postfach und vieles mehr.
