Slashdot Mirror
In Defense of Jailbreaking
Keith found a nice manifesto saying "There's a trend that's been disturbing me lately. When the topic of modding or jailbreaking comes up — say, in the wake of the iPad announcement, or Sony's restrictive PS3 update — there is an outcry. Who am I to tell Apple what's best for their devices?"
Who are you to even be using an iPhone in the first place? The thing is a piece of shit. It can't even multitask yet, and is stuck on AT&T. Just get a fucking droid already and be done with it. I am so sick and tired of hearing about these worthless apple products. If you jailbreak it and it is still worthless, have you really accomplished anything? This would be like making plugins for IE to make it suck less when you could just switch to Firefox or Chrome.
There are much better phones out there. Move on.
Ya gotta love the sensitivity of the slashdot children when you criticize anything about their firefox blankey. They hold their breath, stamp their feet, thrash their skinny arms and wail like a 3-year-old child that has just had its box of Smarties taken away.
You just can't take them anywhere.
could you kindly point me to where i could browse the app store on my linux based computer before buying the device? even better if it lets me "test" the apps, so that i know if any of the terminal emulators actully work right with curses, etc.
