Just like the iPhone. I am a member of several forums, I was there
when it happened. The funniest part about the whole jailbreak and unlock
cracks?? The way Apple looked absolutely blind sided by it and looked
shocked and annoyed that it happened. It's as if they had no clue that
phone hackers even existed or that they figured they wouldn't have the
nerve to do it to the iPhone. The most disgusting part? The temper
tantrum Apple threw over it when they bricked all the jailbroken phones
and told anyone who dared ask "Tough shit." I guess you don't mind your
handset manufacturer telling you what you will and will not do with it,
and if you dare break their rules they can brick your $400 handset, but
I don't.

it's an unsupported modification.

apple did not deliberately brick anything. jailbreaking and unlocking
are based on exploits and patching a particular version of the
firmware. the early attempts were fairly buggy and it's not surprising
that they might not work with an updated firmware. it hasn't been a
problem for a couple of years.

I'd MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH rather have Apple "telling me what I will and will
not do" with a mobile phone than some group of moron hackers and virus
writers getting in to it. That's half the problem with Microsloth and
Windoze.

Most people prefer a device that actually works, rather than one you
continually have to fiddle with and re-install to remove idiotic "malware".
The same reason why more and more people are dumping Windoze for Macs.

If you say so, which has really no bearing on the Android phone but
I've never had a virus or trojan on any Win machine I've ever owned.

More and more? Again I only "fiddle" with may machine when I want
to. I've always said Macs are great for those who can't and those who
won't. Just be advised that if/when OSX gets a measurable share of the
user pie You will be buyin AVs just like Windows n00bs. If *I* ever
decided to not game anymore and wanted to go Windowless I'd buy a $400
PC and install Linux rather than $1500 for a Mac. The difference between
Myself and Mac fanboi's is that IDGAF what you use or like, many of the
Fanboi's would like to see Win illegal.

nonsense.

also wrong. people have been saying that for years. mac market share is
growing quite a bit, yet the number of viruses in the wild is still
zero. the only os x malware that exists are ones that the user
downloads, installs and provides their admin password. there's nothing
you can do to prevent someone from being tricked into doing something
stupid.

the least expensive mac is $599, not $1500, not that your $400 pc would
have anywhere near the same specs as a $1500 mac.

Don't waste your time. It's just another jealous anti-Apple moron to add to
the killfile. :-(
