i was just testing the ipod engraving no no's and noticed that certain racial and other slurs are allowed. someone needs to update the taboo list. that's a whole lot more offensive than someone having f@#k engraved on their ipod.

this whole past is hilarious. i cant contain my laughter.

how about "ten commandments"

I'm not sure which ten, but this could be the start of another bizzarre thread.

Is there a Mac ten commandments?

I could come up with ten but they may be a bit sacrilegious.

SJ also used the term 'pissed off' too in the last keynote.

Not "kick ass" and "pissed off" ....

come on guys get serious ....

IF you really want to have some sort of swear words on your iPod, i'm sure that if you call apple they will be more then happy to accommodate you on special request

Pardon my stupidity, but when was apple forced to remove that, and by whom?

 

[Powerbook G5]

Back when they introduced iTunes for Windows. The headline on the main page read "Hell froze over." while showing a picture of iTunes on an XP desktop. It was removed less than a week later after a school which had a large contract with Apple had problems with Apple using the word "hell" in their marketing campaign and Apple had to remove it.

Nike did the same thing that Apple is doing. One person ordered custom nikes with the word SweatShop written on the side. They wouldn't make the shoes..... No company would deface their own product.
