iPad Jailbreak progress

ASLR In laymans terms, it's a security measure that was added sometime in 4.0 in an attempt to make it more difficult to jailbreak.
i see. so what does that mean towards the progress of jailbreaking?
1. exploiting exploits
2. bypassing ASLR
3. success?
is this how it works?
1. Exploiting exploits
2. ????
3. Profit
I don't know for sure but I believe it's the home stretch. Also i0nic had a meltdown on twitter going banana about people profiting off the jailbreak that didn't even work on it. And the ads on Cydia. And giving a jailbreak away for free to a bunch of ingrates.
all i needed to know. thanks.

yeah i saw that. dog eat dog world i guess.
i don't have a problem paying for a JB. [i didn't contribute to the 4.3.3 JB because at the time, i was new to the ipad and the value/benefits of Jb-ing. i did contribute to the 5.01 JB]
in fact, i'm in favor of it [for pay]. these guys put in a lot of voluntary time and effort to make it a reality. why shouldn't they get a little sumthin' back? and funding their efforts would better ensure that there will always be consistent progress/work in that area.
my guess is that it's not something he can stop others from making money off of.
would you buy a jailbreak for $99? i guarantee that somebody who has another idea on how to make money off of a jailbreak would spend the $99 on it.
just a guess anyway.
I think the idea is that he's anticipating the iPhone 5 coming soon and they might be able to utilize the existing exploits to get into that device to JB it as well. If they release now, the exploit will be patched and it could be more difficult to JB the 5 when it does appear.
I0nic has made it clear on his twitter he wants to get paid for his work.
Like i said in another thread, i have no issue with that but if you don't intend on releasing the jailbreak don't tease the community like a douchebag.
As far as getting "paid" for the work... I think the bug problem is then you really do open yourself up to a ton of liability...both civil and criminal
yea, but what does it mean? and I guess it's good somebody found, or maybe lost, their ballz.
Have you read any of the friendly legislation coming from your wonderful congress lately? Yes criminal is possible given the right set of circumstances.
I would consider paying for a jailbreak, but $99/£60! to install a couple of tweaks for a phone I'd want to upgrade from a year later...hell no... I'd stay stock in that case.
Call m e naive but I was under the impression that many developers who hacked i.e iOS, done so for the love and passion, and any other gratification was just a bonus...which is why I believe the acceptance of donations were the right thing to do.
I saw some of i0n1c tweets today, and just felt he was sucking sour grapes.. He talks down the efforts of other devs but doesn't seem to offer any resolution.
