For iTunes "jailbreak" is equal to a curse word

Jailbreak is a word meaning little for the general public, but often equal to freedom for hackers and nerds. To Apple? It’s as bad as a dirty word…

Censored Siri now time for iTunes. Sounds the same as Chinese government filters the internet...
Apple = shame!

Unfortunately Apple also views user customisation and competitors as dirty cuss words,hence why they have been trying litigiously hard to remove some of them from existence

Consumers have the right to choose
Like we chinese always say the customer is the biggest .
Its controlled system as an android fan you dont like it .
Thats fine i respect your view but for noobs and people who like everything intergrated and not leaving apple's walled garden isnt this good for them ?
everything have its pros and cons
Well thats why jailbreakers exist /

"Consumers have the right to choose"
LMFAO, you DO realize the irony in using those words to defend apple right?

Exactly people just don't get it. Litigation isn't apple it's a part of big business. However since apple is the elephant in the room they get ridiculed for what every company does.

Shame on Apple? Dude, I think it was an intelligent move - it makes Apple look smart, and it will probably prevent about 6 or 7 people from jailbreaking their phones.
Brilliant move, Apple!

"...and it will probably prevent about 6 or 7 people from jailbreaking their phones."
Not just probably, but PROBABLY!!! How it would prevent? In wich way?
6 or maybe 7 people? Does this "shame" worth that?
Maybe it is better to improve security against jailbreaking? Wouldn't that make more sense instead of censoring some words in the search engine?

I have to wonder - what ever happened to reading comprehension in this country?

You are so wrong .
People that wants to Jailbreak already know how to do it already
noobs will search in Google instead of itunes so whats the point ?

And yet Steve Wozniak wants Apple to be more open. Not going to happen.

As all the cell carriers raise rates and lower your data limits its easy to see the promise of smart phones is over. Back to the days of SMS and voice. The IPhone was just a flash in the pan.......... rest in peace

Don't know what's the problem since they changed it quickly.

The problem mainly would be that it happened at all in the first place.
