This is no joke.
“Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple. The government is making that legal under new rules announced Monday.”
“In addition to jailbreaking, other exemptions announced Monday would:
allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers. allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.
So, I’ve bought a fighter today; my wife and kids were bitching me for months to have our own military jet plane, so here I am standing by it in our garden.
It costed premium, of course, but it looks like a diamond! My kids never stepped out of it today, my wife is cooking better already and all our friends started fund raising in order to have their own, someday!
Declaring iOS jailbreak legal today made the entire web shout “Freedom, at last, kill the dictator!”.
What everybody missed is that freedom from straps in a looping fighter jet is not necessarily a good thing, while the “dictator” might as well be the pilot.
How democratic do you think the developers are feeling right now? What about the musicians? Or the film makers? Or the ebook publishers?
Where did you guys hear the evolution could be democratic?
Let’s summarize:
“allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.”
“no basis for copyright law to assist Apple in protecting its restrictive business model.” That’ll be mobile OSes
“allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.” That’ll be video games
“allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos.
This is no joke.

Excelllent execution; all guns blazing!

Of course, this really is a stupid mistake to make, seeing as Nintendo ship technology from the past where as Apple ship technology that others copy in the future. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111538

“Frankly, you’re descending into a gossip column. Nice details, I guess, but so what? You know what the ultimate truth is? Our wireless system stinks. The individual companies have been allowed to make us their serfs. We have poorer connectivity than other countries because our government allows itself to be pushed around by corporate cash. Of COURSE all phones will be the iPhone or more in use of data. Individual networks should be forced into using a single system.

Jobs said on 16th they had only found out about an antenna problem after iPhone 4 release, so they started looking around in the field for customers having this problem.
This is not true:
1. For the first time Jobs presented an accessory at the launch date: the bumper ~ 30 $.
We thought that time it supposed to protect the phone from scattering – which was incorrect. The bumper was not thick enough to avoid scattering.
I would like to play the devil advocate regarding current Apple PR.
There are 3 mil iPhones 4 released; also, there are at least as many iPhones 3GS upgraded to iOS 4.
All those devices share at least one software issue: the BT stack is not functioning correctly. Meaning any BT you’d connect, the communication gets scrambled, in one or two hours after pairing, and there is no way understanding each other’s words.

Some phone outsells iPhone…
People are very inert; they keep talking about iPhone as being a phone. Why would you keep rejecting the idea of a new category device which shares only one spec with a phone?!
The only common thing is both can call, same way both dragonflies and chimps have heads. It’s true, but not essential.
If you don’t get it, try to fit tight an iPad into a laptop bag!
This is the correct approach I hopped for:
“The external antenna on iPhone 4 is located in the stainless steel band. The attenuation weak spot is the black strip in the lower left corner of the band.”
Here is Apple.com link: http://www.apple.com/antenna/
“I guess it’s just human nature: when some group or some organization gets successful, there’s always a group of people who want to tear it down. I see it happening with Google, and I think to myself: why are they doing this? Googles a great company, and they make great companies. And now they’re doing it to us. I ask myself: why? Would you rather we were a korean company, instead of an american company?

My 10 bucks say WSJ is not happy about making that an ugly WSJ app for AppStore, therefore not happy about Apple riding the tide.
This is how a big boy slides from friends to enemies over night.
Remember the fight between WSJ and Google? Well, this fight may be also sliding towards best friends, like tomorrow!
Watch the WSJ news after Apple’s news conference today, for my 10 bucks.
It seems iOS 4.1 has some news for BT stack (the visible ones are media controls over BT); I wonder if the bug is still there!
Let’s see how the new OS is doing!
