I know you're looking at the cute naked blond guy, but if you read the text of this vintage ad for Apple Computers (the Apple II, to be exact), it's pretty profound. It was for an essay contest asking people to write in with suggestions of what could be done with an Apple II. They listed "graphics/music, entertainment, home, business, education, scientific, and industrial(?)" as possible categories your 1,000 word essay would be judged. The deadline was March 31, 1980 (!) and the winner would receive a two week trip to Hawaii.

I wonder if anyone had any idea how much gay porn has been produced on Apple computers over the years? Perhaps the cute naked blond guy was the inspiration! Fast forward to the upcoming release of the Apple iPad in a few weeks. It's nothing but a giant iPhone without the phone. At first I thought the iPad had potential for a nice, cheap alternative to a laptop computer, but as it turns out, that's won't be the case. The iPad won't play Flash video (which is pretty much the format for everything in porn) and there's no slot for DVD's and no input plug for peripherals. That leaves hooking up with men on Grindr as the only practical use for an iPad. A single, very expensive use.
