I guess I misread this.
Well apparently one...err person... doesn't understand the work that they are doing to make this jailbreak actually work properly.
It's ok I still disagree with every post you've made.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Absinthe Jailbreak To Be Released Today
http://www.cultofmac.com/141596/iphone-4s-and-ipad-2-absinthe-jailbreak-to-be-released-today/
Earlier today, iOS 5.0.1 hacker extraordinaire pod2g said that the long anticipated iPad 2 and iPhone 4S jailbreak was almost ready to pop. Considering hes been promising the jailbreak any time now for a couple weeks, though, what does almost ready to pop really mean?
It means keep hitting refresh on your browser. pod2g has just written a blog posted, and hes now promising the jailbreak in just a few hours, courtesy of a tool called Absinthe.

Keep checking Cult of Mac: well update as soon as Absinthe goes live, along with jailbreaking guides for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

Using that word promise is so ridiculous for any type of news form....they haven't promised anything.
Gets harder and harder for this thread to actually stay on topic with trolls running around. Thread should be locked IMHO and a mod should just post a link to the JB when its released.
Do you have any evidence to back that up? Because otherwise you're trolling.
All of their sources link to the actual words said by the actual devs. I understand you're keeping an open mind, but the only people twisting words...are the devs.

Progress Report of A5 JailBreak
[someone else can come up with updates as of January 16th. I tended not to believe most of what was said after this point]
Jan 16, 2012: Mass suicide of 4S owners occurs for "unknown reason" (due to Jan. 14 report.)
Jan 14, 2012 : A5 Jailbreak Halted, Copyrighted Code Found Within Jailbreak
Jan 12, 2012 : pod2g Says A5 Jailbreak is Just a Matter of Days Away
Jan 10, 2012 : Hacker Dream Team Makes Significant Progress on iPhone 4S Jailbreak
Jan 8, 2012 : The iPhone 4S Jailbreak: What We Know So Far
Jan 6, 2012 : pod2g Enlists 3 Legendary Hackers to Help With the A5 Untethered Jailbreak
Jan 5, 2012 : pod2g Reveals More Details About Upcoming iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak
Jan 3, 2012 : Potential Jailbreakers Should Update to iOS 5.0.1 Before Its Too Late!
Jan 3, 2012 : iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak to Be Released Next Week
Jan 2, 2012 : pod2g Divulges More Details Behind Corona Exploit
Just in case people think that us who are waiting for the jailbreak are bad for listening to the developers and getting somewhat annoyed with the premature layoffs.
Best guess like everybody else at this point. i'll put in the question mark
I guess i can take the question mark out again

Actually, you said it was here when it wasn't. You do realize that's not the same thing?
Absinthe is the new Jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2
Source: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/01/20/absinthe-new-jailbreak-iphone-4s-ipad-2/
if you can't believe in iDownloadBlog for jailbreak news, who can you believe in?
Could the tension get any higher than that? A few hours after iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 announced that the release was imminent, we know have more details coming directly from pod2g.
In a blog post, the French hacker responsible for the upcoming jailbreak for A5 devices revealed the name of the tool that will be released by the Chronic Dev Team: Absinthe
A tool named Absinthe and developped by the Chronic Dev Team will install the untether on your device. Also the iPhone Dev Team will release a CLI (command line) tool to help diagnose issues and repair things if it goes wrong.
For those of you who dont know, absinthe is a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug originating from Europe. Absinthe which is usually consumed as a beverage, was the drug of choice of poets and writers back in the day. It is believe to drive people crazy. Literally. It is so harmful that it was banned from most countries in the early 1900′s. I have had absinthe myself before (not the kind of fake absinthe you can now buy in select locations), and it is indeed a gnarly beverage. Ill spare you the details of the craziness that followed my consumption of absinthe because this is not the place and time.
Now back on our topic.
We already knew that the Dev Team would release a CLI tool first, as reported earlier today. This way the team will be able to track down bugs and errors more easily in order to fix them before incorporating the jailbreak into the RedSn0w GUI.
The fact that the Dev Team is releasing a CLI tool first makes me wonder how confident they are about the stability of the jailbreak. The Dev Team has always gone the extra mile to release tools that have proven stable but they dont seem really sure about this jailbreak.
Im thinking out loud here, but I think someone really wants to get this jailbreak out the door as soon as possible, be it pod2g or the Chronic Dev Team. Because the Chronic Dev Team is just about to release Absinthe, the Dev Team probably feels obliged to release its own jailbreak too, but wants to do it the right way, allowing users to log and report bugs. Again, thats me thinking out loud here, but it does makes lots of sense to me.
In his blog post, pod2g confirmed what we already knew, that the upcoming Absinthe jailbreak will be an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1 (build 9A405 and 9A406) and iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1.
According to pod2g, Absinthe is supposed to drop any time now. Of course well be covering this to the minute as things happen.
As a reminder, a Paypal account was set up so everyone can donate to the teams that have been working on this jailbreak. If you really care about the jailbreak community and want it to thrive, it might be a good idea to hit that donation button and show your support to the people who make jailbreaking possible.
