Working Blue? Rumors Surface That Apple Will Start Allowing Adult Content On iPad

Tech Trackr is reporting that Apple may soon be allowing adult content on its wildly popular iPad device. They then seem to somewhat confirm the story by highlighting the Twitter feed of Playboy head Hugh Hefner, who claimed that beginning in March, uncensored versions of the men’s magazine will be available on the iPad. This changes everything?

TechTrackr reports:

These limitations, of course, are all apart of Steve Job’s vision: a world free from porn! If you recall, some eight months ago, Jobs himself told a Gawker reporter:

In reference to the iPad: “Yep, freedom from programs that steal your private data. Freedom from programs that trash your battery. Freedom from porn. Yep, freedom. The times they are a changin’, and some traditional PC folk feel like their world is slipping away. It is.”

Well ladies and gentlemen, it looks as if Steve may have changed his mind. According to Playboy’s CEO Hugh Hefner (Playboy of course is perhaps the most widely-read pornographic magazine in the world), the publication will be available on the iPad this March.
