The iPad Will Get Playboy In March 223

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 19, 2011 @02:33PM from the clean-the-screen dept.

Stoobalou writes "Playboy boss Hugh Hefner has confirmed that — despite Steve Jobs' protestations that Apple is pure and Android is for porn — an app for browsing uncensored back issues of Playboy is to launch later this year on the iPad. The news, which is likely to generate significantly more buzz for Apple's popular tablet as a publishing device than Rupert Murdoch's delayed digital newspaper The Daily, comes courtesy of Hefner's Twitter stream, in which he proclaimed: 'Big news! Playboy — both old & new — will be available on [the] iPad beginning in March.'"

If you think Playboy is porn, you really need to get out of the basement. Playboy is to porn what Disneyworld is to authenticity.

It's damned hard to masturbate while trying to trying to balance a netbook. The iPad is the right tool for the job.

Looking at all the naked chicks. What? You can't see them? Go to your preferences and click the "Format stories as ASCII naked chicks" checkbox.

I'm curious to hear what your definition of porn is.
"Whatever Steve Jobs says is porn, is porn."
Alternatively, "Whatever is on Android is porn."

Must be for premium members only, darn.
Actually, so as not to offend either of Slashdot's female readers, the site has implemented a gender check policy. You just have to verify that you are male by sending an email from the account linked to your Slashdot account with the phrase "I like porn!" in the subject and "Show me the naked chicks!" in the body to daddypants@slashdot.org. Then you will see the "Format Stories as ASCII naked chicks" checkbox on your preferences page.

The best definition I've heard of it so far is "stuff you lose interest in looking at after you're done masturbating."

Steve Job's undisclosed location during his "medical leave". I just really REALLY hope he isn't planning on doing any photo shoots while he is there *shudder*
