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."

    Kay you say: why would One buy IT etc etc..... just to be able to be used in the way they want to use it?

    Im going to taje the wild shot here that people like the hardware, knows IT can do more, and find IT worthwhile to tinker with IT.

    For fucking example, i fucking hate the new iPad keyboard setting because there IS no easy way to change from spanish to english, as there uses to be in the iPhone 3. This IS why i cant type IT like i want because IT fucking turns IT into bigcaps foro some fucking resano i cannot fathom. Aditionally, im writing english and continuously this shit chantes words to spanish. To change IT, i wouldhave to go to settings, touch my nose three times and take a purple dump every time i switch from commmenting on slashdot (english) or on my Facebook (spanish) ...

    Argh. I fucking hate you jobs. Not everyone IS a fucktard that can only speak or grite in their own lenguaje (aaaaaaarghhhhh).

    I wat a fucking gun (for fuck sake, this thing changes gun to gnu, what to wat, reason to resano, write to grite, take to taje, changes to chantes and purple dump to purple dump).

    You know what? If you are an IT pro that needs to speak moré than One tongue, never the fuck ever even look at an iPad. Fuck you apple.
