iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering

jole writes "The newest iPhone 3.1 update intentionally removed tethering functionality from all phones operating in networks that are not Apple partners. This is not limited to hacked or jailbroken phones, but also includes expensive 'officially supported' factory-unlocked phones. To make the problem worse, Apple has made it impossible to downgrade back to a working 3.0 version for iPhone 3GS phones."

They like to keep up with the Jones'

Grammar Nazi time: possessives are always spelled like they sound. "Keeping up with the Jones's." The "s'" thing is for "plurals ending in s" not "words ending in s", except for the exceptions to the exception to the exception, of course, but "spelled like they sound" is the easy way to remember that it's "keeping up with the Jones's" but also "Davy Jones' Locker".

But then, maybe you were just following the time-honored tradition of making errors in grammar while calling someone idiot on the internet.

>>>"Unlimited" means "unlimited"

Yes except there's the fine print, and it explains that you get *unlimited time* as opposed to $5 per hour of use (like my old ISP used to do) or XX hours per month (like Netzero does). It's not the fault of the ISP you jump to false conclusions because you fail to read the contract. I suppose when you see GM or Toyota advertise "100,000 mile warranty" you assume it means the whole damn car.

Well it doesn't, and that is made clear when you read the sales contract.
