Really? I think you are talking mostly out of your ass(from your very narrow POV). I hope you realize that all federal gov't agencies don't have the same rules.
Yes, Yahoo is banned by almost all. But to say something like all IM programs are banned is just stupid. I happen to be looking at my jabber compliant client using my command sponsored jabber IM server. OH NOES!!!!! Fire my command for providing it.
As for iTunes, that is funny, my command left itunes on my Mac. So iTunes isn't banned outright.
As for the iPhone, that might be the case in the DoD, but I sure haven't heard that as a Federal Government wide directive.
And odds are he won't be fired. It took two offenses of looking up porn here for one guy to get fired. Could he be fired? Sure, but odds are against it.
You are right; I should have specified Army, not fed govt. All of my assumptions were based on Army policy. I should know better than to assume that other areas of the Fed govt would have similar policies.
You are correct; odds are very good that he won't be fired.
And again, you are correct with the IM comment. In my head I was thinking Yahoo, MSN, AOl, etc. I apologize as I should have been clearer about that.
I said nothing about iTunes being banned, however, I should have specified if it isn't approved by his command/agency it is a violation (which was my assumption based on reaction stated in the OP)
And you are right about the phone comment. I based it on my narrow point of view on interaction with Army agencies.
