Please don't do this shit. You're only drawing Apple's attention to the jailbreak even more, which will make them even more vigilant in their attempts to prevent users from jailbreaking the iPhones they own.
Besides, you did commit a felony doing this; you do not own that iPhone so by jailbreaking it, you accessed a computer without authorization.
* Openssh * SBSettings + several plugins * Winterboard * Mobile Terminal (honestly I haven't reinstalled it in IOS4 yet - I ssh in to edit scripts) * Backgrounder (largely unnecessary with IOS4, I know) * Bash * crond (I use this to integrate with nagios so I can manage servers remotely)
All great, high quality apps, but not available on the App Store because Apple considers them to be DoublePlusUnGood.
He might not be charged with vandalism. He might be charged with unauthorized access of a computer system, which carries a much harsher penalty, and is the charge I would pursue were I an Apple store manager.
I wish you folks would not do this. It will only make Apple work even harder to block people who jailbreak their own iPhones, whereas if people left the phones at the store alone the recent court ruling might have led Apple to look the other way when it comes to jailbreaking.
The next iPhone4 update is going to be harder for the dev team to crack now. Thanks, guys.
If you want to "prank" the Apple store, point safari on every iPhone and iPad at sites where it will display "This web site requires flash." When I was at the local Apple store to buy a 27" iMac a few weeks ago, I did that to every iPhone and iPad. It speaks a message to Apple employees but is harmless to both Apple and Apple customers. Jailbreaking the display iPhones though? That will only hurt iPhone owners.
I say let's leverage the Streisand Effect by posting the image to facebook, flickr, etc.
I'm going to. The insignia is public domain and as an American citizen and taxpayer I can absolutely post the logo and say "Hey, isn't the FBI insignia really neat?"
Owning, possessing, and even displaying an insignia, patch, or badge is not in itself illegal. It is illegal to use those items to impersonate an officer. That is not what is going on here. They should have their attorney tell the FBI to fuck off. Honestly.
That the FBI does not like something does not make that thing illegal, especially when a work is public domain.
I'm glad this topic came up as I have been researching telescopes for astrophotography but there seem to be relatively few in-depth reviews for telescopes like there are for SLR gear.
Why the LX200 rather than the Celestron C10-NGT? The Celestron may be longer/bulkier but you can get a larger objective (which in theory allows you to resolve higher magnitude (fainter) objects) for less money . Are the Meade's optics that much better? Which design would be better for making a mount to piggyback the camera (if one wanted to do so rather than shoot through the telescope)? I found scopereviews.com and some other sites but no scope review sites that compare to the likes of dpreview or imaging-resource.com. Are there any real good, objective(no pun intended) telescope review sites out there?
If you're on a tight budget, but want to capture the Perseids, put a DSLR on a standard tripod. Wide shots, say 18-55mm lens, you can expose for 30 seconds or so without noticing any earth rotation in your field.
With my 7D on a tripod, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, exposed for just 20 seconds star trails are very noticeable.
You do realize that rural highway speed limits are maxed out at 55mph-65mph (and often decreased on DOWNHILL sections) solely to raise revenue, right?
When you show me officers enforcing speed limits in school zones, residential side streets, and enforcing right of way in roundabouts/rotaries, and enforcing proper turns and lane changes (i.e., turn indicators/signals/blinkers) I might agree with you. But until actual safety regulations are enforced, I have to call bullshit on your entire post.
Post "Audio monitoring and/or recording devices may be in use at all times." decals on the windows. By speaking the douchebag rookie cop with an overblown ego (no offense intended to respectable officers here - I've had run-ins with douchebags and have also been pulled over by very decent officers so I do NOT mean to offend everyone because there are a few douchebag rookie cops out there who should not be allowed to drive let alone wear a badge) consents to having his douchebaggery recorded for public record.
Better yet, why not make chips more dense by depositing additional layers? Like real estate, when PCB estate becomes scare, build up! Providing adequate cooling is in place, what would prevent building additional layers into memory chips?
WP7 took what was good about the Windows Mobile platform and completely destroyed it.
Windows Mobile/WinCE is actually a fairly decent OS. I have and on occasion still use an HP iPaq ( hx2700 series). What I like about it is I have full access to everything, if I want to I can code a utility and install it without having to buy a certificate or otherwise get Microsoft's blessing to install it. I can install software from anywhere without having to go through a particular store. I've installed a bunch of free software, but I have also purchased quite a few programs for it. 11-12 years ago on my first iPaq I had a PCMCIA hard drive and was watching movies and listening to music on flights - and it astonished fellow passengers that it was possible. It was something Windows Mobile could do ten years ago that everyone with an iPhone takes for granted now. Why didn't it catch on then? Microsoft really didn't market PDAs, and they just didn't see the potential it had. It took Apple to take the idea, merge it with a phone and give it a nice GUI, and now they're on top.
Also, I've worked with Windows Mobile phones in corporate environments. They're great because they are easy to deploy in a corporate environment, work well with Exchange and other email packages, and actually manage memory fairly well. Also, since it shares much of the API with Windows for the desktop, it's easy to develop custom corporate solutions. No need to "root" or "jailbreak" the phone.
All Microsoft had to do was implement a store in addition to the previously-open nature of Windows Mobile, clean up the GUI a bit (the GUI was always the weak point of PocketPC/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone) and they would have a serious contender. Instead, they took the most attractive features of Windows Mobile and threw it away, and turned it into yet another would-be iPhone contender: too much too little too late.
What could Ballmer have done substantially differently? First of all, he could have avoided the whole Vista fiasco. Microsoft could have stated "We're sorry, we're on the wrong track for both home and corporate users so we are delaying release another year and a half."
Second of all, WP7 could have been a LOT better, All they needed to do with the Windows Mobile platform was require vendors to meet or exceed iPhone storage and RAM specs, implement a GUI better suited to a smartphone/PDA (and retain stylus and handwriting recognition as input methods) and keep it open to remain a part of corporate solutions, and they would have been a very serious contender. Instead they locked it down and threw away everything that didn't suck.
Windows Mobile was one of the Microsoft products that I really liked for its utility and function (although its form was hideous - again, all it needed was a better GUI and a store). Sadly a useful Windows Mobile is now a thing of the past.
A "me too" product is not going to win the phone market. Microsoft needs to take what they did with Windows Phone 7, bring back the more open nature which made it usable in corporate and industrial deployments, and really push it as part of a comprehensive enterprise solution. Locking it down is exactly the wrong thing to do because iPhone and Android have too much of a head start so Microsoft needs to take a page from Apple's book and "Think Different."
What's so bad about it? Microsoft expressly disclaims any and all warranty and liability, while maintaining that you do not possess your first sale doctrine rights. Check this out:
And then remove their union contract that states that they can never decrease their workforce, even if they don't need as many workers due to reduced volume.
You cannot convince me they never decrease their workforce. For ten years local post offices with 2 to 6 service windows consistently have only one customer service person on staff at any given time, even through the holiday times. The only time they seem to add anyone on any more is tax day.

Here is what I have installed from Cydia:

wifi + jailbreak + change root password + openssh = ssh tunnel = tethering
In the case of the iPhone, you're breaking out of a chroot jail, hence the term jailbreak.
I wish you folks would not do this. It will only make Apple work even harder to block people who jailbreak their own iPhones, whereas if people left the phones at the store alone the recent court ruling might have led Apple to look the other way when it comes to jailbreaking.

The funny part of all of this is that the news stories include the seal. :D

In Soviet Russia, history Photoshops you?
I had to. This is likely the only time that tired "in soviet russia" joke is topical.
I don't know if I'd trust that with an EOS7D+Battery grip or EOS 5D+battery grip.

If you shoot a modern DSLR in raw, you can very quickly eat up 32GB of storage.

Holy shit, does that mean that first sale doctrine, fair use, and such apply even under the draconian DMCA?
Does this mean that the "interoperability" clause applies for those who wish to run third-party software or third-party firmware?
ZOMG!
