If the imacrat or whatever's JB works, I'm all over it. Pure and simple. I can thank Comex in my head, if it's really his, but really - what difference does it make? If it's out, it's out. I wish Comex could get all the glory, but it doesn't make any difference if I download it from www.blah.com or www.bleh.com , does it?

It's not about who gets the credit/glory, but about the fact that if Comex is holding on to a jailbreak he is doing it for a reason -- that is, to maximize its usefulness to the jailbreak community by preventing premature closing of the exploit. Releasing now would risk closing of the exploit in the next minor update to iOS4 (which we already know will be coming soon, to fix the signal reporting issue). It would also risk closing the exploit for all the people who are still waiting for their white iPhone 4's. It is not up to IMacRat to decide when to release it, it's up to Comex and the Dev-Team, who earned that right by actually developing the tool and who have proved time and again that they have the best interests of the jailbreak community at heart.
 
Watching Android rooting forums, and some pretty epic brickings, I learned that when there is a new root/JB tool, to wait not just a few hours, but perhaps a couple days before downloading/applying so if there is a mass bricking, the threads will start appearing on the forums.

I'm not going to risk it right away but... if anyone on here is going to... record the jb process or take pictures every 5 minutes or so. It would be very appreciated.

Great point. Without getting too much in the geohot hate from earlier, I'm sure this is part of the reason why he seems so jaded (plus he has the whole arrogance thing going for him)
 
I know this is probably a newb question, but with this jb can you unlock a 3gs using ultrasn0w?

this is likely fake anyway.... someone from the dev team would have had to give it to him....

If this is legit, and it uses the same hole @comex has then he will probably release his legit somewhat better at installing version soon.
HE would kinda have to if apple is planning on fixing and would have no reason to hold onto it..

Who the Hell is iMacRat anyway? any1 heard of he/she/it before?

here is the thing, if this is legit, the exploit used by comex could very well be closed by the time 4.0.1 comes out and when comex plans to release his version
