iPad: No Flash, No Porn


TheFlashBlog via Daring Fireball: Lee Brimelow posted up a bunch of screen images of the iPad. There are ten images and all of them have one thing in com­mon: a blue square Lego piece with a ques­tion, which is the icon when Flash isn’t work­ing. Of the ten, I per­son­ally use two, of which one is Hulu: my favorite way of watch­ing TV. I guess I won’t be watch­ing TV via Hulu on an iPad. But that’s not what got me to type up this post. Lee also had a screen image of Flash not work­ing on a porn site. This is what he said respond­ing to a reader’s comment:

I’m not play­ing up any porn angle. But it is HUGE part of the web and is almost entirely Flash-based.

I don’t like porn and I think it is one of many vices that have a mate­ri­ally neg­a­tive impact on our under­stand­ing of what healthy rela­tion­ships between the two sexes are and should be. So, if what Lee is say­ing is true, then the absence of Flash on the iPad is a big plus for many of us who want to stay clear of porn on the Internet.
