"Porn news"
Technology and Porn
By Aaron LawrenceSaturday April 24, 2010 at 3:19 pm PDT
With the advent of the iPad and the announcement of the first iPad-specific sites, CNN ran an interesting article on the history of technological innovations in the porn industry, as well as where the industry is headed over the next few years.
From the article...
From the printing press to instant cameras, from pay-per-view to VCRs, pornographers -- both professional and private -- have been among the quickest to jump on board with newly developed gadgets.
The first public screening of a movie was in 1895. Less than two years later, Coopersmith notes, the first "adult" film was released.
"The classic example is the VCR," said Oliver Marc Hartwich, an economist and senior fellow with Centre for Independent Studies, a conservative Australian think tank. "When it was introduced, Hollywood was nervous because the big studios feared piracy. They were even considering suing the VCR producers.
"Not so the adult industry. They saw it as a big new market and seized the opportunity."

Cobra Media Group implodes their websites... again
By Aaron LawrenceWednesday July 15, 2009 at 7:48 pm PDT
Long before there was a GayGeek there was Cobra Photo (aka Cobra Media Group). They are a European-based company that specializes in twink photo sets and videos from around the world.
Cobra Photo is not to be confused with Cobra Video, an unrelated company whose owner was murdered two years ago. The management of Cobra Photo is alive and well, and is now engaging in one of their phoenix-like restructurings.
A little history. Cobra Photo has been around for at least eight years and probably ten or more. It started as a successful twink porn business in Europe that eventually expanded to models from all over the world. From the United States to Colombia to Sri Lanka to Russia, if there was porn to be made Cobra probably had a cameraman shooting it. The end result was a collection of what I recall was 20 or so twink websites on a variety of themes.
An Original Game Boy
Around 2003 Cobra reorganized their websites. They merged many of them and rebranded the survivors as 11 "Original Boys" sites. Their new websites included Original Action Boys, Original Latin Boys, Original Euro Boys, and eight others. Eventually a new one was released as well, Original Princess Boys, which involved gender-bending twinks jacking off and having sex in a most feminine manner. Twinks in heels, if you will. Truly a unique website.
