(just thought we needed something like this if some of us don't want to venture out into the main forum, by the way, do we already have a thread like this? Sorry if we do)



iPhone jailbreaking (and all cell phone unlocking) made legal

Owners of iPhones and other smartphones are one step closer towards taking complete control of their gadgets, thanks to a new government ruling Monday on the practice of "jailbreaking."

This weekend has seen a flurry of activity about digital rights, but the biggest news dropped Monday morning, when the FCC announced that it had made the controversial practice of “jailbreaking” your iPhone — or any other cell phone — legal.

Jailbreaking — the practice of unlocking a phone (and particularly an iPhone) so it can be used on another network and/or run other applications than those approved by Apple — has technically been illegal for years. Most jailbroken phones are used on the U.S. T-Mobile network or on overseas carriers, or are used to run applications that Apple refuses to sell, such as Safari ad-blocking apps, alternate keyboard layouts, or programs that change the interface to the iPhone's SMS system and the way its icons are laid out.

While technically illegal, no one has been sued or prosecuted for the practice. (Apple does seriously frown on the practice, and jailbreaking your phone will still void your warranty.) It’s estimated that more than a million iPhone owners have jailbroken their handsets.

Apple fought hard against the legalization, arguing that jailbreaking was a form of copyright violation. The FCC disagreed, saying that jailbreaking merely enhanced the inter-operability of the phone, and was thus legitimate under fair-use rules.

The upshot is that now anyone can jailbreak or otherwise unlock any cell phone without fear of legal penalties, whether you want to install unsupported applications or switch to another cellular carrier. Cell phone companies are of course still free to make it difficult for you to do this — and your warranty will probably still be voided if you do — but at least you won’t be fined or imprisoned if you jailbreak a handset.

Also I am friends with Jimmie, and while he is a troll who loves to rile up Maria fans, I can tell when he is being serious or no. He was serious about Maria, it was not hating on her, in fact he was even hoping to be wrong as many gay celebrities keep it a secret just for endorsements and PR.

And I agree with Wonderwall, it has always bothered me to read all those "Nadal looks so gay" "Dimitrov is obv gay let's be real" but to actually feel offended when someone might be saying Maria is gay... Not only her haters are claiming it. In fact there were insistant rumours, so some Maria haters/fans and some people who are indifferent to her may have their own opinion on that issue.

Really, sorry Dominic but your bullshit about butch lesbians on GM irked me this morning. I am not even a lesbian but this was just insulting, especially coming from a gay.

What on earth are you talking about!? :confused: I cannot believe what I'm reading here

Are you denying that there are stereotypes about lesbians in this world?? There are stereotypes about everything and everyone Debby, why would you be in denial about that. Do I support or belive any of these stereotypes? NOT AT ALL. I just said Maria does not fit the butch lesbian stereotype, that's all.
