f you’ve been following the gaming blogs lately, you may have come across the semi-NSFWvideo of a scantily clad, giftedly-bootied model called Tahiticora suggestively playing a racing game on the XBox (video after the jump). The video has gone viral: since it was posted on YouTube on February 19th, it has already netted more than 150,000 pageviews.
But the video left many questions unanswered: Is it a viral ad of some sort? Does anyone really play XBox like that? And is Tahiticora really a bona fide XBox fan? Geekosystem investigates:We briefly chatted with Tahiticora (real name: Coralie Teraiefa), who said that:
Porn can never be washed from the Web; it can just be driven into stealth mode. And it’s no different on the mobile Web. That’s why Apple’s efforts to keep porn off the iPhone is turning into a never-ending, ever more complex campaign.Apple AAPL can block as many porn-oriented apps as it wants. But the problem is that browsers are themselves apps that open a window onto the entire Web itself. Charles Rodriguez, president of iHustleApps, thought he could use a browser-based app as an end-run around Apple’s porn restrictions and introduced forChan, a browser app designed for imageboards that host nasty pics.As Krapps.com noted, Apple not only shut him down, it revoked his license to sell apps in its store and deleted the other 224 apps he sold there. That prompted a sharp and clever rebuke from Gizmodo, which argued that Apple’s logic meant it needed to ban Microsoft’s Bing app as well as its own Safari browser from the iPhone.
Washington, Jun 2 (ANI): Microsoft‘s new search engine ‘Bing‘ may be as good as Google, but Internet safety experts have warned that there is a glitch in the engine that gives users easy access to pornographic material.
Bing went live in the U.S. this weekend, and bloggers and Internet safety experts discovered that one of its “features” needed only a few clicks for anyone, of any age, to view explicit pornographic videos without even leaving the search engine.
As Microsoft attempts to unseat Google, it unveiled a slate of convenient features for Bing, including an “autoplay” tool that lets users preview videos simply by hovering a mouse over them.he tool may become a liability because users can have easy access to porn videos on Bing, and not have to log on to one of the porno web sites.
Ladies, you might want to rethink buying your bf a new Xbox game for his birthday. Listen to this: A new study found that a third of men would prefer to play video games rather than have sex with their partners. Even scarier stats: When newly released video games were thrown into the equation, the percent of men opting for virtual stimulation skyrocketed to 72 percent. Lame.
If men can find better things to do, we certainly can. So tell us, ladies, what’s more satisfying to you than doing the deed? Vote in our poll or write your own answers in the comments.
In this short excerpt, Microsoft endorses their product with a firm nudge and a wink. I mean, Steve Ballmer didn’t go so far as to drop trou on screen, but kudos to the company for not being total prudes about what their software is clearly designed to facilitate.
Just keep those innocent little girls on a different set than your pervy comedians, Microsoft. Seriously, I don’t even want to see them at the same lunch table. [Microsoft via Crunchgear]
