iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the almost-like-consumers-don't-like-being-dictated-to dept.

Well, the inevitable hacking of Apple's latest flavor of iPhone has happened. Named "purplera1n," the tool will only allow installation of unauthorized applications instead of a full unlock. "The purplera1n jailbreak will free your iPhone from the limitations imposed on it by AT&T and Apple. After jailbreaking, a user will be able to customize the iPhone with home-screen wallpapers and third-party ringtones. But the biggest advantage of jailbreaking is the support of unapproved apps such as iBlackList (blacklists and whitelists for contacts) and many others."

    Good and evil are purely subjective

    Usually that is my main talking point. Thanks for illustrating it.

    Because good and evil are purely subjective and meaningless value judgments there's really no point in calling anything good or evil. After all I'm sure that the executives at Apple love their mothers and love their children even if they don't love open source. So how "evil" could they be?
