Do you know /anything/ about jailbreak?]]>Mar 26th 2010 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/
He is not showing what the exploit is, and not releasing the code out there, so, Apple cannot patch the exploit, and thus, when 3.1.4 comes out, it is 99% likely that it will have the same hole that allows this.

What I don't understand is why Apple tries to stop Jailbreaking. I guess it's Steve Jobs being a control freak, because rational business thinking clearly tries to accommodate Jailbreaking as much as possible without actually supporting it, because people who want that functionality will then buy the hardware, and then Apple would make even more money.

So, technically, Apple is going against their responsibility to their shareholders by trying to stop Jailbreaks. Just think about that for a second.]]>Mar 26th 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/Mar 26th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/Mar 26th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/Apple tries to stop it because when a device is jailbroken, it is no longer confined to their closed ecosystem. Apple is all about, and always has been about having a closed system. I've been a Mac user for 15 years, but I'm willing to admit and accept that it's just a part of the platform. ]]>Mar 26th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/Mar 26th 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/Mar 26th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/geohot-teases-untethered-jailbreak-that-will-probably-work-on-i/
