For some reason, I've become the go-to man for porn around these parts. Hardly a day goes by without Lee or Jay sending me some kind of crazy link -- and as you can tell from the title, today is no exception. Did you know that you can get iPhone apps to help you through one of the most troubling and hard-to-beat addictions? Why yes, there are two in fact -- one Biblical, and one not. Ladies and ...

An appeals court in Tampa, Florida has found porn produced in California to be illegal. In other words, because (legal) porn made in California was available for download in Florida, the producer broke the law. If you're like me, you're probably a little worried about what you've uploaded to the Internet over the years -- can I be extradited to Florida for a home video of my girlfriend and I? ...

A lot of people use the Internet to find porn. A lot of people use Firefox (go download Firefox 3.6!) digg_url = 'http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/01/21/ultimate-porn-surfing-firefox-add-ons/'; In fact, I'd go as far to suggest that porn surfers -- or at least the search for naughty, illicit, adult-only material -- account for Firefox's biggest market demographic. The 'young' ...

Looking for an easy way to keep your children (husband, staff, boss, dog, or anyone else) from viewing adult websites? If your systems are using Firefox to handle web browsing duties, take a look at the ProConn Latte addon.* Latte enables you to filter by keywords and comes packaged with an extensive, preconfigured list of blocked terms and sites. You can, of course, add and remove words and ...

tweetmeme_url = 'http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2009/11/30/take-that-iphone-android-gets-its-own-adult-only-porn-app-store/'; tweetmeme_source = 'downloadsquad'; Apple have been notoriously difficult when it comes to 'adult only' content on its iPhone. There are a few apps that can help you in a tight spot, but really, the pickings are slim. Trust me, I know. Cold winters in England are ...

Intro: Off the Clock is something we've kidded about in our newsroom for a while. The plan: write up some apps that aren't quite made for the 9-to-5(ET) RSS feed. Nothing serious, just harmless, grown-up, after hours stuff. It's pretty rare that you can tell a software developer is totally up front about what truly motivated him or her to develop an application. In the case of Pr0nSpider, ...

Generally, improvements in software are a good thing. Improving something means making it better, right? In the case of Firefox 3's enhanced Awesome Bar, maybe not so much. The Firefox security team has been analyzing data collected from users who declined to upgrade from version 2 to 3 back in May when Mozilla issued a friendly nudge. Those users were given the chance to fill out a ...

File this one under "LOLcats in real life." A Florida man accused of downloading over 1,000 illegal child porn images tried to lay the blame on his cat. Allegedly, the cat would jump on his owner's keyboard, and the offending images would just appear. The cat had the last laugh, though, as police have now ruled him out as a suspect. After failing to win the cops over with his implausible tale, ...

The last time we talked about the uproar over Bing's live video previews including some explicit material, Lee was reporting that Microsoft had changed the default safesearch features to block porn. A week later, they've taken one further step to reassure concerned customers that they're not going to accidentally see XXX videos. Potentially explicit videos and images are now served from their ...

First off, don't worry - if you were using Bing to preview naughty videos in thumbnail-sized awesomeness, this doesn't mean the fun is over. In a post on the Bing blog, the crew has announced that they have tweaked search settings in response to concerns from corporate customers. The changes should now allow Bing to play nicely with firewalls and safety products. Adding adlt=strict to Bing ...

When Bing debuted two days ago, there was a flood of activity as people rushed to kick the tires on Microsoft's new search decision engine. Some liked it, some didn't. And some found a feature that made them titter like gaggle of adolescent boys sneaking glances at a dirty magazine. Yes, Bing's video preview thumbnails display watchable porn. When you search for it. And you have the adult ...

Unless you're working for a company like Vivid Video, chances are good that you shouldn't be using your office laptop for checkin' out the porno. And yet, according to 3,100 respondents to a Computer World survey 70% of work laptops are being used for portable porn. That's kind of impressive. Nearly three quarters of all administrators surveyed found either pictures, videos, or browser cache ...

Marc Andreessen of Ning is our hero. Ning, the online platform that allows users to create and maintain their own social networks, seems to have a few naughtier communities its midst. We'd be more shocked to hear it didn't, quite frankly. This is the internet, after all. Some do find it surprising, however. Enough people, in fact, that Andreessen issued a statement on his blog today. Andreessen's ...

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has rejected a proposed .xxx domain for pornographic websites. This is the third time ICANN has shot the idea down. The proposal had faced opposition from adult-entertainment groups who feared it would ghettoize their sites, and also from religious organizations who were concerned that the domain would lead to more porn sites on the ...

There's a lot that the term "porn browser" brings to mind, but Michael Arrington's review of Heatseek is any indication you can add "pretty decent app" to the list. He says Heatseek's developers have "clearly thought this through," and that "every feature is aimed at either making porn consumption easier or making it less likely that others will know what you are up to." Heatseek requires users ...
