now to get these lazy bastards to jailbreak 4.0.1 =D roms galore
Even if the government allow it, jailbreaking will still void the warranty. correct? Or will this require Apple to honor the warranty even if the phone is jailbroken?
The John Titor story would make an excellent movie.
I'm glad the government got involved. It's about time they did something useful.
Viruses and malware already exist for jailbroken iphones; that's nothing new. But the rest of your post was oh so clever.Say hello to viruses and malware. Thanks Government. I will keep my money, I will keep my un-jailbroken phone, you can keep the change.
Where did you learn of this "being forced to honor the warranty" clause-- or anything remotely close to it? I'm interested to read more....Having the Gov't move in is like having the the Gov't tell Ford and Honda to allow people to put GM motors in their cars (or more appropriate... put GM engine control SW into their onboard computers) and require them honor the warranty, and if any model upgrades come out, make sure they test for all the potential permutations...
Would this only apply to the US do you think?
psshhh... government. Exactly what power do they have?
Ill believe it when I see it.
sounds to good to be true at the moment.
Wait... this is the same government that doesn't allow you to circumvent digital copyright protection schema under 17 USC 12 (a.k.a. DMCA)?
So jailbreaking Apple's stuff is ok. Jailbreaking the recording and motion picture industry's stuff not ok.
Got it. Clear as mud.
P.S. I'm not endorsing piracy. I'm against piracy. I just find the contradiction a bit baffling.
The fact that you are associating Jailbreaking as piracy is even more baffling. Get your head out of the sand and realize that not everyone jailbreaks to pirate apps. As a developer, I want more control over settings on my phone. I know too well how much time it takes to develop anything decent to download paid apps for free.Wait... this is the same government that doesn't allow you to circumvent digital copyright protection schema under 17 USC 12 (a.k.a.
