Yeah, it's more doubleplusungood Nazi crap from Apple.
Which somehow made up my mind. I was just re-installing Lion to have a clean system. I think I'll make that an even cleaner system now by only installing Windows 7 on it.
Got a tip for us?

Considering not a single post used the term "freedom of speech" before yours, nice straw man argument.
As straws on camel's backs go, this is one of the least spine-fracturing. So it doesn't like the word "jailbreak". I think I can get on with my day.
Most people who really care and are angry about this were never Apple lovers anyway. Most people who are mad about the censoring here are going to be in line for the iPhone 5 launch.
Swears and explicit images should be and are censored for the sake of young people. I'm not sure how that's hypocrisy.
Anyways, what Apple is doing is different. It's taking a word they don't much care for and abolishing it. (At least that's what appears to be taking place.)

I wonder if Steve Jobs' wife screams "j*******k me!!" in bed.
As far as I know, Laurene Powell is not in a relationship.
Not me.
When I read stuff like this, it confirms my choice of giving up any iOS device.
That's just one more reason to stay away from the iTunes.
As they say, all power corrupts, and Apple has become worse than Microsoft ever was. Can you even imagine the howls had MS had done something like this a few years ago?

I'm sure Apple will be so sad to lose you
It is for sure that Apple won't care, but you do.
Are 'Prison Break' episodes affected?
You just mentioned one of my favorite TV shows!
And I just checked, and no.
As far as I can tell, the word jailbreak is not censored in search results or instant search suggestions anymore, if indeed it ever was.
No one else on this forum has seen the effect with their own eyes. Just saying'.

I tried to j*******k my iphone but switched to A****d and bought a S*****g instead. I tried a S*****g G*******b that runs on A*****d. I logged into G****e to check my G***l and put some files in my D*****x, so I could get them on my W****** PC. I also read an ebook on my K****e F**e which also runs on A*****d. A friend tried to buy an H*C E*o but couldn't find one. Oh, did you hear about the P*****r case coming to a close? I saw that while reading about the ***********k malware that infected ******* Macs.
Amazing that an apparent technical glitch/human error that lasted for a few hours has yielded 150 posts complaining about censorship and comparing Apple to Big Brother and Nazis.
Based on one single word being replaced by asterisks.
I am more concerned and frightened by the posters on MR than I would be of Apple
