You have posted numerous rants in this thread complaining about this latest LoC decree, while all it does is declares Jailbreaking/Unlocking legal. This leads me to think you would rather see Jailbreaking/Unlocking made illegal (and therefore people who jailbreak/unlock would become criminals by extension).
If you don't believe unlocking/jailbreaking is a crime, then you have nothing to complain about as far as this LoC finding goes.
Again, assumption. You've yet to answer my first question. At no time did I say jailbreakers/unlockers are criminals. I've jailbroken my first iPhone and hated it. So am I a criminal myself? By your logic, I've contradicted myself. Ok.
You clearly have no clue what this change actually means... the Gov doens't force Appel to do anything, they simply allow users to JB.
It's spelled Apple. Not Appel, and this does force Apple to do something - tolerate the jailbreakers when they shouldn't have to. Right now, Apple doesn't care. They don't arrest people in their stores with jailbroken devices. I didn't care either. Now I do, because now everyone else does.
I have jailbroken my iPod and it works just perfectly fine, thank you. I now have full multitaksing for apps that don't support it yet through 4.0 (so now I can use another app while downloading some new content) and through SBSsettings I can asjust brightness, (de)activare WiFi, rotation or VPN without leaving an app. It works perfectly fine. Yu saying it doesn't just proves you are a blind biggot: if you don't wanna JB, then don't, fine with me. But don't call me an idiot and spread lies about the experience, which is jsut as great as before my JB.
I'm glad it works for you, it sucked for me. Royally. It was glitchy and slow, and half my apps (that were approved) didn't open. The ones off Cydia did, oddly. Which leads me to believe it's not a problem with the Apple approved side of things. I'm a biggot because it didn't work for me? Yeah, that was really ignorant. Spread lies? Yeah. I made it up. That's why I don't have it jailbroken today. It was that great.
They couldn't and they don't: the DMCA acutally outlawed making changes to the software without explicit permission from Apple. Effectively outlawing a JB. So now you can't end up with a huge fine or some jailtimefor a silly JB. Hwever, in the EULA Apple still states that warranty voids after a JB, and this doesn't change.
No one I ever knew was prosecuted or fined for jailbreaking or unlocking. Hell, T-Mobile handed a buddy of mine a Sim. He's still walking free.
Again: if you don't want the extra apps: sure, go ahead. But don't tell me I don't need them. I can make my own choices, you sound an awful lot like a damn commie if you ask me...
Where did I say you couldn't have more apps? Quote me. Yeah, I'm a communist. Did you act in Deliverance?
This is a fair point for those with the old, unlimited data-plan. However, AT&T is now fully switching to the bucket-system, in which paying extra for tethering makes NO SENSE AT ALL!!! You apy for 250MB or 2GB. On what device you use those few megabytes should not be any of AT&T's bussiness: it doesn't matter for their network at all.
I actually agree with you here, though it has nothing to do with my previous argument, you're totally right, but still, you should be going through AT&T, since it's their network, even if MB should be free. No one should care about 200 / 250 MB a month.
The exclusivity between Appelk and AT&T is only for sales. usage is somethign that only involves the customer's choice. Again: you sound like a communist bastard wanting to limit everyones freedom of choice by telling us what works for you whould work for everyone.
Again, Apple. Not Appelk. Don't use profanity. I didn't, and am not, but ok. I'm a communist, and have a Nazi flag in my garage, and sport a Hitler stache.
Steve Your Lord Jobs told you "don't hold it that way", that's ok. When I say what doesn't work, I get called a communist? Alright. Whatever.
...you are a right-winged blind biggot. In this case, the Gov is actually protecting customer and personal freedom. it is not forcing Apple or AT&T to offer a service IN ANY WAY. It is only preventing them from suing people over a JB.
They're forcing people to just go with what they don't want to - in this case Apple to tolerate jailbreaking, moreso than they already have without any say.
you sound like a racist, right-winged biggot that calls everything this administration does evil communism. While you are actually the enemy of both consumers worldwide and the world itself. People like you prevented the recent bill on CO2-restrictions and support the filibuster-craze that is killing democracy. You, sir, are destroying both society and the world because you have been raised to hate anything donkey. For that I both hate and pity you.
BEST YET! I'm a racist? Yes. Glad you pointed that out. My "ball's in your court" was TOTALLY a stab at our half-black-half-white president. Absolutely.
Please don't hate and pity me. Ow, my feelings. It's ok, though. Jesus understands and loves you still, as do I. It's a love hotter than a thousand blinding white suns.
(Any mods care to take note? Where did I insult this kid?)
