And you will not do that without working code.

If the iOS filesystem is so crap that it can be corrupted by sudden power loss, and if the recover mechanism is so shit that it can't recover from a corrupt filesystem... Well, that's a design flaw, not the user's fault.
It's not entirely screwed up.
I mean, it's not like it's EXT3 or something. It actually commits transactions to stable storage before returning that the write completed to the kernel.
This issue is really one of lost data that's been cached in places like the address book or in the caller ID log, etc.m which has not been written to stable storage by commcenter or whatever other App happens to be involved.
So it's more like the data in cache is lost.
Hmmm... I guess it *is* like EXT3...
In any case, the issue is a problem, if you have crap running, and the phone shuts off on you in the middle of a 911 call because some at BookFace or some other company used a busy loop in their App that they let run all the time consuming power.
The thing is a phone first, a computer second, and if it can't fulfill it's primary role, it's no good.

Everyone who is upset about the phone shutting down when it's in danger of simply shutting of on over-current, and destroying their filesystem, rather than showing down, can turn it off.
And then their iPhones, instead of slowing down, will shut off and destroy their filesystems.
And then they won't be able to call anyone to bitch about it, because they will have bricked their iPhones.
The first product that Apple *ever* preannounced under Steve Jobs was the Intel switch, and that was already being leaked because of the T-1 developer systems Apple had to ship to developers so that it would have software to run on the hardware, by the time the hardware was released.
The only time you "miss targets" or "miss projected ship dates" is when you announce a product prior to it shipping.
Steve announced products, for the most part, by getting up an a stage, and at the end of the Keynote presentation (which would always include a lot of demonstrations, which, when the screen changed, resulted in an "...and BAM!"), he'd say at the very end... "...and one more thing...".
And there'd be a new Apple product.
You never missed a ship date, because the "... and one more things..." always ended with "...and these are available in Apple stores TODAY".
So it's great that Apple pre-announces and all these days, and has a 1/2 cycle opposite the WWDC cycle for computers vs. consumer products -- so it's kind of not possible to do the Steve thing, because there's one WWDC, and you need two keynotes to cover the release cycles, and there's no other thing to keynote at.
But.
If Steve didn't have product on the shelves, in stores, ready to buy......you didn't get it shown in the "... and one more thing".
It still missed it's ship date -- but you didn't know about it.
So unbunch your panties, people: this is not a news story, unless you want to write about how the marketing and announcement culture has changed under Cook... because the release date thing?
Attempting to dray too much current, and watching the voltage is the only way to determine the amount of current available to draw. Not the other way around.
You ramp up current draw at a given voltage, and if your voltage starts to drop, you have to back off on current utilization. The only way to do that is to back off on current utilization.
It's the current draw that matters; you aren't drawing off 9 volts, and then suddenly you can only draw off 7 volts. That's not how battery degradation works.

This is fantastic news!
Everyone who is upset about the phone shutting down when it's in danger of simply shutting of on over-current, and destroying their filesystem, rather than showing down, can turn it off.

Genius!
Yes, being a common carrier would require them to comply with CALEA.
Without the rules, they just comply with CALEA voluntarily on Internet.
You still get wiretapped; you just don't get the projections that them being a common carrier would have afforded you otherwise.
For example: now that they are not common carriers, they no longer have to provide you with 911 service on your VOIP lines.

No instruction pipeline cache == feature.
Yeah all ARM7 cores have that "security feature".
I hear PC-XT's are making a comeback, because most malware won't fit in 640K any more.
So having only 640K is a "security feature".
This is a highly amusing claim.

It's not news.
There's actually no reason -- other than bad programming -- that you would need that much CPU power on a cell phone -- even one as nifty as an iPhone.
Yeah, and 640k should be enough for everyone.
IF you have to jailbreak your iPhone to get the problem to show up, perhaps you shouldn't jailbreak your iPhone.
No, you can't measure it that way.
