This was on BoingBoing (http://www.boingboing.net/2004/11/30/antiporno_ipod_featu.html) yesterday...
Anti-porno iPod feature?
BoingBoing reader Brandon says,
There is a "bug" in the iPod Photo that randomly flashes photos from other albums into slideshows. [on Leander Kahney's Wired blog, "Cult of Mac,"] Keith Finch has suggested this might not be a bug, but rather an intentional measure to dissuade users from keeping "double secret 'Hot Butts'" albums on their iPods. The hypothetical situation he presents to support his case is good for a chuckle or two.
when the ipod photo was yet to have been released, i remember someone here saying that storing porno was the only real reason to buy an ipod photo... looks like apple might have preempted this one.
