But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
That doesn't seem to be the opinion of the United States government.
Also in defense of Saudi Arabia (Because if you have to visit a Muslim nation, Saudi Arabia is probably the safest next to the UAE), they are getting better. King Abdullah has stated that women will be allowed to hold public office by 2015.
Less to do with Sweden and more to do with a liberal west realising that decades of social engineering and tolerance still doesn't change the fact that it must coexist with the other half of the world that holds values that they themselves find reprehensible. Thats the true test of tolerance.
You can't expect them to have sweeping changes overnight. Unless you believe this is real.
that just boils my blood. Bunch of assholes!banning women from driving and requiring them to have permission from a male guardian before travelling or receiving medical care.
"you can't be serious!!" - yes actually I am.
IKEA obviously thought it would be in their best interest to Pshop out the women in that region.
READ and be less Ignorant.
Well would it have been better if they hadn't gone over the top to attempt to prevent offending Saudi Arabia, and gotten crazy people running around burning things?
Certain individuals have been getting offended dangerously easy lately. http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...Temples-Burned
They're just playing it safe.
Glad to see there are still smart business people who dont put personal beliefs above the dollar.
Rather ironic, considering where it happened...
To my knowledge of the Muslim religion there is 0 reason to photoshop the women out of the picture?
I think the group of people who doesn't find this offensive to their religion are the minority, but what do I know?
Different culture, different rules. I don't believe in it, but it's not me. For the Canadian catalogue I wish they photoshopped more women in tbh. It was quite bland.
I think we all know exactly what the problem is here. Some will chose to pretend that this isn't a symptom of a very large problem though.
Well you can tell them what you believe. They don't have to listen.
To the best of my knowledge, Saudi Arabia hasn't signed any international agreement that binds them to treat women as equals.
Not saying I agree with it. I'm saying they're a sovereign nation and you don't get to just tell them what they should do.
