Ha! I made that signature up forever ago... started to change it earlier, but... didn't.
I KNEW someone was going to call me out for it.

haha, had to. I was left hangin... Wait, what's this guys mom and dad use?!?!?!
Back then, i think a razor and some sort of samsung feature phone, along with an HP. Nowadays, they've got iPhones, but the HP is still there.
BUT SERIOUSLY! I want to know what Backboard is!
Right, sorry I didn't paste it here.
IMHO, it still begs the question, "what is Backboard?"
It says Springboard/Backboard and I found Springboard on Wikipedia. Springboard, or Home Screen is the standard application that manages the iOS home screen. It is also used in Mac OSX 10.7 Lion in launchpad.
Well... there must be some reason that now suddenly there's the word backboard in there. They could very well be. Why the name change? They just felt like complicating it?
No way! Is that what it's called? I always wondered what springboard.app was!
This guy gets it.
chpwn brought it to my attention here
I feel like it'll be some mundane layer for 3rd party background processes, but my fingers are crossed it'll be something with some whiz and pop.
Which is more than you've contributed, thanks.

I could see that, though that seems even more mundane (to me at least).
Still, I'd love an answer to the riddle... maybe one day.
This is going to bother me till i find an answer. I will.
This may shed some light:

Maybe it's somehow a springboard backup method? Seems too coincidental to me that a Springboard Cydia tweak is also called Backboard.... Hmmmm
Actually I said what springboard is and someone benefited from it. What have you contributed?
That's the stupidest thing I've read today. Nobody benefited from it. It's HIS thread asking a question. All you contributed was answers to questions nobody was asking.
The ********** question. Get out of my thread! Grrr.
But for real, didn't mean to seem hostile, but I did sort of pose the original question, for which you replied with info from wikipedia on something that's existed since iPhone os 1 in 2007, and, correct me if i'm wrong, but I didn't catch the post that shows someone benefitting from it.
But, thanks!
