(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.

Totally watched the whole practice session or at least the link was opened till it ended. There were 7 peasants serving Императрица Мария while she was practising. :hearts:



Nah, you cannot rep gifs. I mean, you can insert links and all but not images.
Yeah, I have gotten badrapes with a larger size through the years so I use the font can be changed as well.


:lol: No, I agree. I did actually take a lot more reassurance than I should've done from that discussion in here last week where people were saying they didn't know what they wanted to do with their lives. Reassuring to know there's some other people my age like that, when it seems like pretty much everyone I was at school with have already moved away / finished uni / have started their careers / some even married or engaged. :eek:

I've kind of got the mindset now though that it's better to actually decide properly what I want to do now though, rather than be one of those people who just drifts into a career by default, then has a midlife crisis when they hit their 40s and realise they hate what they're doing ....OK, that's probably meaningless psychobabble, but it makes me feel better anyway. :lol:
Well, fingers crossed you do make the right choice. By the way, you are quite the indecisive bitch, Danny and it doesn't suit your TF persona.

I'll go to sleep so everyone can marvel at my sig/avatar (except the Demon Spawn haters) and come back to my flurry of bad/good reps about it :lol:

goodnight :wavey:
Coming your way.



"Congrats, maybe one day, they'll even invite you for dinner."

oh BURN, Rumplestiltskin

No you don't get it :hysteric: I know what they call her that's what I'm saying I'm not a big fan either :lol:
that's why the gif is so great just by seeing this "dance" Masha's losses to her don't hurt as much plus I start laughing out loud
BTW didn't you say you were going to bed like half an hour ago I guess TF is addicting :lol:
