Israel explains iPad ban

Maybe the Israeli government realizes that it's probably one of the dumbest products ever made and they just they're just looking out for their people's pockets...

i dont think the Middle East likes Apple, first it was Egypt now its Israel.

how else are israelis going to get an iPad when apple are delaying the release to feed american demand ?

Does anyone else see the irony in Apple being upset because someone is banning them?

LOL the israelis for ther first time in their 62 year history have done something commendable!

They dont want the children to learn anything or become a country like America. Keep the ignorant faith seeking government in control forever is all that is desired. The product may suck but the citizens need freedom. I truthfully want our soldiers to get the h e double l out of the middle east and let their stupidity cause a self destruction.

You guys are aware that iPods, iPhones, and maybe even Macs are all available and popular in Israel? I'm pretty sure they are. My friend who lives there said they are. And Shaf, gtfo.

This is strange.

I don't believe for a second the Israeli govt are banning the iPad because it is a fail product, that is fatuous reasoning.

Maybe they are concerned about the ready exposure to international news... but I doubt that too.

They may be just protecting the advertising revenue of local publications.

@Desired, try just simply re-editing your post in future.

Any apple product should be banned anywhere in the WORLD. Two reasons why.

1. Over hyped product (useless and should be banned immediately).
2. Over priced product (only worth a dime)

As you can see the word "over" stands out.

I recommend the Israeli for banning apple products. They should ban steve jobs too.

Are you suggesting Israel is above criticism and that it speaks for all Jews?

People on this site put my country down all the time... sometimes it's warranted, often not but I don't go all bombastic over it.

tell me where i said anything again jewish people? i dont care about a persons religion, that doesnt affect me. also neither did i say anything againt the israeli people, of which are mulsim, jew, christian etc etc. no i targeted the government, just like the article stated that he government banned the ipad.

the israeli governtment is currput to its core and has been for 62 years. not once has it given a damn about human care, and infact its comparable to china. and no i am not praising any of the governments of the countries around it, and infact if there is anyone government who is most like israels, bar china, its saudia arabia. all 3 couldnt give a crap about human care or human life.

the US needs to stop pumping the billions/trillions into israel and we need to boycott them, but it wont happen will it?

Can you please back up these statements where you say the Israeli government does not care about human life? From my standpoint (I have been to Israel twice), the government is protecting the lives of millions of Jews (and some muslims, christians) every day with their actions.

I do not know where you live Shaf, but remind me the last time your next door neighboring country threatened to nuke you off the planet once they are finished creating nuclear arms.

As for boycotting the Israeli government? Why? We don't boycott France or England, why is Israel any worse? (They aren't)

thats a no to your second question as well. you know very little about us and by you i mean americans as a whole . not that i blame you, half your national news channels are biased.

if you read this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satmar#Name
youll come to realise that there are jews who dont support israel as a country:

"The Satmar Hasidic movement has become known for its social isolation from all forms of secular culture and for its opposition to all forms of religious, secular, and political Zionism"

but these are very discrete and dwindled groups that comprise of less than 130k worldwide.
so no israel does not represent all jews, but it does represent the majority of them.

The Chinese are far more blatant than those articles. Chipods have been infected for years with Trojans that will load key logging software to the computer. They are a great bargain since they die shortly after they infect your computer. All the Seagate drives coming out of China had Trojans in the boot sector. All aimed at identity theft.

A CIA agent swapped a chip in a printer at a French printer factory. The chip had a nasty virus that was to be attached to the Iraqi defense mainframe. It brought down the mainframe right before the Desert Storm attack (the first war). The virus made bogies appear on the radar screen a few hrs before the real attack began. There were reports of them shooting into the air at nothing just before the real attack began. It took them a few minutes before they realized the attack was real. By that time their radar had been blown up.

This is not something to take lightly.

That was only for a short duration because Seagate took quick, decisive action. Had it been Apple who knows what would have happened.

I thought you could not get a computer virus unless you powered the computer on. I was wrong. I never considered Seagate would install a computer virus on the harddrive and ship them to customers. When you make something idiot proof someone will come up with a better idiot.

A wife buys a life insurance policy for her husband. She hires someone to terminate the life of her husband. She collects money for her efforts actions. She committed a crime.

The executive outsource manufacturing jobs. Executive now profits by firing the employees. Your outsourced manufacturing operation infects harddrive to steal information from your customers. You package the product and ship Segate's product to your customer. You cause financial losses to your customers because you never checked the quality of your product. AS CEO you are responsible for the products your company produces. The CEO and board members should be treated as criminals.
