Apple: why iPhone jailbreaking should not be allowedApple: why iPhone jailbreaking should not be allowedPosted Feb 23, 2009 3:03 UTC (Mon) by jschrod (subscriber, #1646)In reply to: Apple: why iPhone jailbreaking should not be allowed by tgall Parent article: Apple: why iPhone jailbreaking should not be allowed Well, you ask how many of those who want to use their iPhone without running proprietary intrusive software like iTunes, and who have used a compiler last week? Since your rhetorically question is concerned to construct a straw men, let me answer it nevertheless: at least me. And, let me tell you: you are a deceiving member of the open source community, if you obviously don't even see that people might want to use their fully-paid hardware without resorting to lock-in software (iTunes et.al.) that only runs on closed-source operating systems and is security-wise extremely obnoxious. Lastly, but not respectfully, Sir, you show exactly one fact: We really need the functionality of KILL-files on LWN. Sigh, to paraphrase Henry: »Those who do not understand Usenet, are condemned to reinvent it, badly.«
