ha ha I hope you have the suit and tie to go with it... I brought mine into the office and let me tell you, it's a sure fire attention getter when you flip those big ole green ears.
Man have you not even seen the bugs bunny version of Frankenstein, where the blithering assistant brings back a brain he found from some guy named AB Normal?
Any company that installs firmware on a system in an unknown state "unintentionally" are morons. They've never heard of checksums? Don't trust your expensive iphone to them for updates because they're obviously not performing due diligence. I they can't detect a hacked phone before blindly installing, they will be unable to detect other problems/conditions which would break the phone when patched. As a matter of fact, were there not also a small number of non-hacked phones which got bricked as well?
If they can fail on the upgrade, they can fail on the archive. Better to backup yourself and test it. Bricked iphones and now this, I'm starting to think Apple is in over it's head with this Darwin thingy.
Every time I install a Red Hat box I have to spend a lot of time turning off useless services. I like Ubuntu Server because it comes with nothing. Much easier to set up and maintain only the few services you really need.
Oh common... Apple never heard of checksums? They could have simply overwritten the firmware and returned the phone to it's initial state. But that is not what they chose to do now is it? Warranty voided or not, what gives Apple the right to break somebody's phone? If the bricking wasn't deliberate, then what kind of half assed company blindly updates firmware for their device, without first determining that the device is in a known state?

Well of course. Besides, Microsoft has a proven track record for building secure systems. What could possibly go wrong?

Folks have been doing stuff like that for years now, with tools like procmail and others.
I'll only be interested in gadgets which obey only what I tell them to do.
More like Toyota installed new break pads, without bothering to check that the break drums are ok.

If they can make a stripped down version run on an XO, can I please have that same version for my PC?
or the underlying insinuation that that's what their clients are...
What? Can't you read?
The owners defense is that an unscrupulous reporter published crap about them.
Still, the article was sensationalist. That kind of stuff always lowers credibility in my eyes and makes me less
likely to read them in the future.
They are calling foul. http://slackers.com/
Man with a name like that, I was afraid yours was a link to that goatse.cx guy...
Isn't it spelled ream though?

With a genetic disposition for typos and dupes, is like an airline pilot with a genetic disposition for running
into the ground.
Hell no he didn't. If you don't count ported Linux software and a some specialized packages, there's diddle squat.
Why would anyone wanna buy a fake flammable battery? Is this some sort of novelty item like fake vomit?
Well it would have been written in assembler for specific hardware. Lots of work porting that.

Sleep with their selves? You mean with all that money, hookers and cocaine? Your right they prolly do have trouble sleeping...
This puts a whole new light on the WGA program...

So If I void my warranty, that gives Apple the right to break my phone?
64 bit support I can see, but the rest of those features are just applications why is a whole new OS required?
