A change to anything related to Google Search - the product so many of us rely on - is never going to go by unnotoced. This time around, Google has altered Image Search for US users to alter the way it handles that ever so important aspect of the web - adult content.

screwed up views
And reading your statements and your nick name from a video game, I can conclude you are not married, have not kids and doesn't get laid, and ,that is why you are so desesperatly defending porn cause jerking in front of a computer monitor is the only thing that makes your sad life happy.

I am primarily defending against censorship of any kind, but this news story just happens to be about nude pictures in Google's image search. What a coincidence that in this case I happen to be sticking to the topic at hand for most of my examples.
FYI, I am 100% against the censorship of "explicit" language in music, violence in movies and video games, and pretty much any other form of censorship. Period. Freedom of speech and expression, without nuts like you trying take every part of life away that goes against your own personal beliefs and agendas. Nice try, though.
By the way, this username originated from a gaming site I signed up to probably over a decade ago and haven't used in many years, and I just kept it for simplicity and familiarity. What a crime. Are childish Slashdot-style attacks regarding usernames and resorting to stereotypes really all you can do?
That said, I'd much rather be in a world of video games than in some nonsense utopia like what you're describing, where nothing is allowed aside from mindless bible-thumping and where all fun, amusement and everything natural ceases to exist. Give me Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga over your disturbing paradise any day.
Your method of beating around the bush, attacking those who don't share your own faith in order to neatly sidestep the questioning of your own beliefs, is typical of hell-bent followers of the mainstream religions... so I'm not really surprised though.

One of the most bizarre comments I've read on OSnews. One of the achievements of Feminism is that it has helped emancipate women and give the roles beyond reproduction and sex. Educated and skilled women now have something they can sell other than their bodies the sad thing that there are still women that if they haven't got husbands to support them they have nothing that they can sell other than their bodies as they are excluded from work and education
Why be so offensive? Why are you so angry? Is it because you are so against porn and if so why? Or is it because you feel threatened by the sexuality of women? Do you object to pornography because it is sexually explicit or because it is often misogynistic and degrading or do you think sexually explicit is degrading? I think you need to think this through rather than just get offensive and angry

In previous times, it was clear only deviants watched porn. They were shunted to the side of society and people knew these deviants would only degrade the rest of the culture.
Now most boys watch it. Yes, boys aged 12 - 35, because all of them have adolescent minds, without self-control. And you are witnessing society disintegrate throughout the West and Asia.
Most porn actors, especially women, were sexually abused as children. And watching other people have (increasingly bizarre) sex is an empty, meaningless life. Your minds have been poisoned.
Like I said, to survive this economic collapse which is happening NOW, you will need strong men, and women who have not lost their femininity and are secure in themselves. Not today's poor, insecure girls reduced to being sluts for adolescent males.
Why is half of the West popping anti-depressants? Because it's an empty existence. Sex without deep love is isolating and empty. 10,000 years of experience backs that up.

The lunacy of your way of thinking is making drugs sound pretty good right about now, to recoup the loss of brain cells and reduced IQ level I've just experienced as a result of reading your post...
I feel as if my mind has been poisoned by reading your nonsensical religious beliefs. Not by watching porn.
"So in summary... Google has pulled the plug on support on a protocol they've helped popularize, after years of promising interoperability, for reasons that are dubious at best, and in a way that leaves people who don't jump to the new Hangouts app unable to talk to their contacts without any feedback that their IMs aren't getting through... And they've done that with no warning to anyone. I imagine there's a bunch of people out there wondering where some of their buddies have gone, or why their messages aren't getting responses, because this isn't documented anywhere." Google really messed this up. Such a dick move.
The Tizen Greek Community has some screenshots of a very recent build of Tizen running on a Samsung GT-i8800. It looks wholly unremarkable.Joint statement to The Next Web from Microsoft and Google: "Microsoft and YouTube are working together to update the new YouTube for Windows Phone app to enable compliance with YouTube's API terms of service, including enabling ads, in the coming weeks. Microsoft will replace the existing YouTube app in Windows Phone Store with the previous version during this time." Good to know these children stopped acting like little pricks. Can we have full Google support in Windows 8 now, please?
Yahoo is acquiring Tumblr, the microblogging and social networking website, for $1.1 billion USD. Tumblr offers little revenue but lots of eyeballs if Yahoo can monetarize them. Now Yahoo is bidding for Hulu, the streaming video service. After years of ineffective responses while Google, Facebook, and others took large chunks of the online advertising market, Yahoo is fighting back. Can Yahoo reignite the momentum it had at the turn of the century? What do you think?
"Sources have described iOS 7 as 'black, white, and flat all over'. This refers to the dropping of heavy textures and the addition of several new black and white user interface elements." I couldn't be happier.
"Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has discovered a large number of issues in the way various X client libraries handle the responses they receive from servers, and has worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues."
"Google is facing a new antitrust probe by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission into whether the company is using its leadership in the online display-advertising market to illegally curb competition, people familiar with the matter said." Sucks to be Google today, apparently."In the midst of the major press blitz surrounding its annual I/O Conference, Google dropped some unfortunate news about its instant messaging plans. In several places around the web, the company is replacing the existing 'Talk' platform with a new one called 'Hangouts' that sharply diminishes support for the open messaging protocol known as XMPP (or sometimes informally Jabber), and also removes the option to disable the archiving of all chat communications. These changes represent a switch from open protocols to proprietary ones, and a clear step backward for many users." That's why I always say: only suckers trust companies."The wave of departures is a sign of internal struggle, but amidst all the bad news, there is a glimmer of hope. According to an anonymous HTC executive cited by WSJ, the crucial HTC One is selling 'pretty good so far'. The executive revealed that HTC sold about five million One units since launch, a performance that is deemed encouraging. However, sales have been limited by the persisting supply issues that still plague the production of the HTC One." Finally some good news for HTC. Five million units amidst supply constraints is very impressive.
"Sony gave the PS4 50% more raw shader performance, plain and simple (768 SPs @ 800MHz vs. 1152 SPs & 800MHz). Unlike last generation, you don't need to be some sort of Jedi to extract the PS4's potential here. The Xbox One and PS4 architectures are quite similar, Sony just has more hardware under the hood. Weâll have to wait and see how this hardware delta gets exposed in games over time, but the gap is definitely there. The funny thing about game consoles is that itâs usually the lowest common denominator that determines the bulk of the experience across all platforms. On the plus side, the Xbox One should enjoy better power/thermal characteristics compared to the PlayStation 4. Even compared to the Xbox 360 we should see improvement in many use cases thanks to modern power management techniques." AnandTech does its usual in-depth thing.

Wow... just, wow. Hiev and arbour42, you really have some bizarre, screwed up views. I take it you're Christians or follow some similar or related religion?
