Sure, I work in an indie book store and ebooks apparently threaten our very livelihood. However, that may well just end up being collateral damage of the tech revolution. At any rate, that's not the problem I want to write about today. After going to my
Finnegan's Wake group last night, it's not surprising that this bit of info from
Slate's The Big Money feature. In a rich bit of irony, Ulysses is once again being banned for indecency, this time in the form of an online graphic novel called
Ulysses "Seen" where you will have the, uh, titillating pleasure of seeing Buck Mulligan in mid-nude dive.
Although it does raise questions about a corporation like Apple getting foolishly involved in censoring a classic, the good news is that at this point in time, there are easy enough ways around it. So check out
Ulysses "seen". It's your civic duty to do so...
Buy an iPad and support censorship!

My feelings exactly. The only upside is that instead of one Big Brother, as foretold, we are likely to have two or three vying with each other, and maybe one will always offer what the other doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThink this'll bother any of the hip young idiots lining up to buy iPads or next-generation iPhones?
ReplyDeleteTo the extent possible, I'll try not to offer my allegiance to Chairman Steve.

Ipod was kind of cute. Ipad just seems in all ways unfortunate.

I think the only thing that keeps Apple from stealing that idea right out from under you is that it's hard to figure out how to market that one as, well, sexy.

ReplyDeleteIf you can get the young Apple guy to say that to the guy who pretends to be Microsoft on commercials and prove it's yours, you can retire on it. I think the time may be right.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be surprised how often "iPrude" turns up in searches. No, you probably wouldn't be.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the IPrune is taken yet. It could lend itself to so many apps.
