Hackers Finally Unlock iPhone 3G
nandemoari quotes a story at Infopackets:
"2009 has gotten off to a great start for a team of iPhone enthusiasts with little regard for Apple's licensing requirements. They've finally figured out a way to get the phone to work with any cell phone carrier (and not just AT&T). The iPhone Dev Team is best known for their work on 'jailbreaking;' the technique of altering an iPhone so that you can run any applications on it, not just those approved by Apple. Given the company's questionable vetting policy for entry to the official App store, it's not surprising many users approve of jailbreaking."
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
There's no place like localhost?
Wouldn't "There's no place like ~/" be better?
Done.
That's the first coatse I've seen. Nice dough. Never knew cakes could have ass.
How many what now? It's a phone. People don't buy phones to "run an OS", they buy them as a tool which they expect to Just Work, and not worry about what "OS" it runs. All sorts of things run operating systems these days, such as cars and set-top boxes. You don't hear the manufacturers telling you what "OS" you can run on them, because people don't buy these products to run an OS.
Plenty of phone adverts show off the operation of phones in their adverts. They don't dwell on things like "Wow you can access the Internets" on it like Apple do, because for the rest of the phone industry, that's old news.
I wish mods on the Apple stories would learn what trolling means - hint, it's not having an opinion that doesn't praise Apple all the time.
I'm still waiting for that evidence - that people would rather mod down rather than supply it makes me think it doesn't exist.
