iPhone 4's FaceTime has Potential for Porn?

Over the years, porn industry has been benefiting from webcams for live sex-chats on the internet but the launch of FaceTime from Apple has surely opened up a new avenue for adult entertainment companies to develop video-sex chats.

This may not be a good news for Steve Jobs and Apple who usually takes a lot of pains to keep its iPhone apps clean and porn free by rejecting even book apps for featuring sexual contents. But FaceTime is such a service which can be very intimidating for porn industry and the use of iPhone 4 for porn cannot be overruled. The same holds good for the HTC EVO 4G which also allows video chats. 

This situation is surely not good for Apple and there is a need to check such like activities because in worst scenarios, it can easily connect children to pornography or predators. Lets hope for the best.

Reports of Google Search Blocked in China?

It has been reported by associated press that Google search has been completely blocked in China. Although Google says that it was just a minor glitch and all services are working properly in mainland China. There is a complete contradiction in these two statements. The following figure shows that Gmail was not affected at all during this saga.

It is pertinent to mention that Google has been cooperating with Chinese government sensor policies for the last four years but the Google recent pledge in January to no longer censor search results considered to be subversive pornographic. It appears the the Chinese government has finally lost patience with Google for violating its censor policies and this action will surely hit Google very hard financially since China's 400 million web surfers exceeds the entire US population.
