Help! Iphone snapped my husband's genitals

Apple says it is a software glitch
Tuesday, 18 November 2008, 08:09

THE FRUIT THEMED Iphone apparently has a glitch that will photograph your genitals, attach it to an email and place it in your sent folder.

We found the glitch reported in an Apple forum and penned by a woman called Susan.

She said she was searching through her husband's mobile, as you do, and found the snap of him attached to an email in the sent email file. The email had been sent to another woman. Obviously, she approached him with the accusation that he might be cheating on her.

The Fanboy's excuse was that he had taken the picture but never sent it to anyone. In fact he was so worried about his Iphone taking the picture that he said had paid a visit to the ironically named Apple Genius Bar. There he swore that a spokesapple had told him that it was a known glitch. Photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent, he swore blind that the Genius told him.

Susan wanted to know if this was possible as the future of her marriage depended on the answer.

Obviously he is having an affair, snarled the Apple fanboys on the forum. The Iphone is perfect and has no glitches at all. Anyone who says that the Iphone is not perfect is clearly a liar.

Their advice was to dump him immediately, although at least one wanted to see the pictures. ยต

Oh Apple...

This is why you will never gain corporate acceptance. Sure, it might be ok for a pic of a kiddie in school to get snapped and sent to some random person on the Internet. But if I'm getting a lapdance at my desk and that picture goes to my wife, I'll never hear the end of it.

It's this unpredictability which will keep a Macbook off of my desk. I prefer for my affairs to be private, Mr. Jobs.

Author hates apple?

Why does the author end the article with the sarcasm that the iPhone is perfect. Yes there are bugs, but if the author read the full thread in the forum, it is obvious that the guy is cheating...

Pictures of genitals don't automatically attach themselves to female email addresses.

No one on the forums has experience emails that magically send with pictures attached either.

The iphone has bugs, but emailing self-porn to women other then your spouse is not one of them.

How

I want to ask the guy how he got the shot. I can't get my Iphone to take pictures of things that are still, much less shooting forth from my nether regions.

Uh, wrong excuse

Man, a much simpler and more believable lie would have been: "Dear, I was sending it to you and I accidentally had a typo that sent it to the wrong person! She's my parole officer.

:D

she says "It's such a good shot that one must wonder if he actually practiced it a few times before getting it right! " 

True enough - as someone else just posted, it's hard enough to get a non-blurry pic on the iPhone let alone in mid-flurry...

picture messaging

Just imagine the havoc this bug could cause if the iphone could actually do picture messaging.

Actually Frank, I just looked and a couple of people said they'd had the same thing happened to them, where their iPhone would send pictures to other people.

Others said it is too far-fetched for it to open the e-mail, attach the pic, send it, etc. etc.

So read the forum next time, it was around the middle of the page where a poster talked about coworkers having the same problem.

iPhone users are all perverts

Next time you see somebody "whip it out" you'll know exactly what type of personality you're dealing with. "Lifestyle choices", indeed!

Reply to first poster

Have you ever thought about not cheating on your wife, or to be a man and tell her you do what you do and like it or leave it................then you wouldn't have to worry about some ridiculous thing like this. You think your mac book is watching you at all times?

"The iphone has bugs, but emailing self-porn to women other then your spouse is not one of them."

It would be a bug with a certain amount of style though, would it not?

Driving with a stick_

He should know better now shouldn't he? Pumping the accelerometer, is no way to impress girls, necessarily. "Super Monkey Balls" is in need of a sensitivity slider. No doubt, the serpent tempted the woman to take the apple and give also to her husband when they soon realised he was naked and unashamed. It went tick a tick a tick tick, nick a nick a nick, a sticky wicket, I could see how her email address could stick to it. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off Apple Spam? In the raw. Really. Fanbois will be fanbois.

If people bothered to read the rest

of the comments on the Apple site it appears that the two that support the supposed bug were found to be from new users, one in particular seemed to be created just to comment on this.

Some might say that this is the accussed trying to cover his tracks...

@Chris

If you read around places more reliable than here you would have seen that there is more than reasonable suspicion that the posters who claim to have also suffered the alleged bug are in fact the man who got caught out in the first place, trying to lend some credibility to a quite frankly weak-ass excuse. 

Speaking of weak-ass excuses, when is Nick going to get fired? He's a weak-ass excuse of a journalist who's so biased he'll joyfully post such bollocks as this tripe as fact if it gives him an excuse at making another feeble attack at a company that's far more regarded than he is.

NOT JUST APPLE

My computer frequently downloads porn and saves it to random hidden folders on my computer. One time, it even changed my homepage to a bestiality site with women, goats, and snakes.
You can't trust technology these days.
