IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already
mspohr writes "Just hours after Apple released iOS 4.1 to great fanfare, hardware hackers found a way to jailbreak devices that run the new operating system. More surprising still, there doesn't appear to be anything Steve Jobs can do to stop them in the near future. The exploit in the boot ROM of iOS devices was first announced by iPhone Dev-Team member pod2g. It was soon confirmed by other hackers, who said that because the exploit targets such a low-level part of the operating system, Apple won't be able to stop jailbreakers without making significant hardware changes."
Is your house secure? What if you let me hang out on the back porch with a crowbar for a while? Still secure?
I know Im gonna get hit by some mod that doesn't like negative comments about apple... but flamebait? Maybe off topic, but it certainly isn't flamebait.
Remember mods, you dont get to mod somebody down because you disagree.
You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.
Well.. it doesnt work like that in the states. The fact that you think it does, or even that it might, shows you dont know jack about the states.

It's deceiving to the point of almost lying.
But... I'm confused... Mac OSX *doesn't* get PC viruses (and yes, any idiot on the street will know what they mean by "PC", given that distinction has been outlined in Apple ad campaigns for *years*). And that's a perfectly valid marketing tool, given that the vast majority of viruses out their target Windows on the PC.
So, what's the problem here, again?
