On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn 283
heychris writes "Eucalyptus, an ebook app for iPhone, has been rejected from the App Store for 'objectionable content.' What's so objectionable? The Kama Sutra, available from Project Gutenberg, which is available on other ebook readers as well. Not only that, but the screenshot shows that you would have to search for Kama Sutra to get it; it's not built in to Eucalyptus. The author is reasonable but frustrated, while Herr Gruber is more succinct." I wonder how good the now-cheap Nokia 810 is as an e-book reader.

Nah, it's because they're coming out with their own book of sexual positions and don't want the competition. Of course their book likely involves Apple fanbois having unspeakable things done to them by Steve Jobs.

I love it when a woman widens her yoni.

Plus it's translated from Sanskrit so it's hardly readable.
That's a 5000 year old dead language... Couldn't they have tried Latin?

Isn't it possible to be opposed to part of something, and yet still find the whole valuable enough to warrant keeping? Have you, for example, ever been married?

Might as well burn some karma for truth.
Then you're no better than they are -- just another censoring bastard, taking the torch to the Karma Sutra...

If not page 63 seems to have some interesting exercises . . .

Man, I hear you.
I had a girl sending me half-nude pics of her, and talk dirty via ICQ, because she deliberately wanted to get my dick hard.
And then when she succeeded, my boss came in, and asked me to stand up and come with him.
Have you ever tried to come up with excuses, when your head is high on dopamine & co?

Name me one other smartphone or PDA on which you can install Liddell & Scott's Greek English Lexicon (that's the big Liddell, with tiny print and 2,000 A4 size pages). As well as Lewis & Short's Latin Dictionary, which beats shit out of Whitaker's Words on a Palm. Your stupid antifanboi attitude means you're depriving yourself of a really useful tool for the study of ancient Greek. Kids these days.
