If Steve Jobs has one unfulfilled dream left , that would be to give this world the ultimate puritan gift: “freedom from porn” . He fought long and hard against the web standard for video and a common video format and he practically destroyed it.

Today, YouPorn ( 18+ ) announced that they are busy encoding their entire video library into HTML5 format, and therefore it will be available on any iDevice in this world.  It will be just a matter of time until the rest of the adult industry will embrace HTML5 too, and then what Steve?

Freedom from porn? More like the beginning of an annual jerk-fest…

Apple is reportedly cracking down on iPhone applications that are built from templates; otherwise known as cookie cutter applications. These applications are often generated using an app building service and are usually just an RSS feed or a flashy business card.

According to TechCrunch, Apple isn’t opposed to app generators and templates per se; however, the company doesn’t want people using native applications for something that a basic web app could accomplish.
