Fun fact:
Did you know that every time you snap a picture on the Japanese version of the iPhone 3G it will make an audible “shutter click” noise that you can’t turn off, even when the phone is on silent mode? Why? So upskirt perverts can’t do their dirty work undetected!
OK, actually, almost all new phones in Japan are supposed to do this … which is slightly disturbing. The only things that can make this situation better are:
- the entire voyeur industry to come together to sue Apple, Nokia, Motorola and so forth for interfering with their right to profit.
- someone invents EMP underwear.
- Japan gets a clue and stops becoming so weird that these limitations need to be implemented.
