(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.

Awwwwww she looks so cuuuuuute :hearts: I remember I was so happy for her during the ceremony.

Over Queen Masha?
I don't even remember . :hysteric:

Pieter has been a Vika fan for a long time as far as I can remember. Nothing wrong with liking Vika, is there? I do like Vika at times, but for me Masha takes precedence, even if I do like other players.
:hi5:


I still don't know if you are being serious :sobbing:
Weren't you (along with Cara) known as one of Masha's biggest haters/ dislikers here? Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

And you're also a fan of Murray right?
I am.
Yes. Came out from the closet.

ANDY :inlove: What a beautiful summer.



Usually Milk Tea with Tapioca. Taro is my favorite.
Now I am thirsty :hysteric: it looks sooo yummyyyy


Caralenko, Oliviasmith and Debby, all secret Mashabators.
And Sgt Timmykinz? :spit:

I've watched 30 episodes of New Girl. Amazing show. Watched a Marthathon of Maria's slam wins on youtube. Is 4 enough for it to be called a Marthathon? And was more active on TF in the last 3 days than in the past 6 months. Hopefully, I will be more active now.

True! :lol: You can even call me Jo, if you like! It's my nick in everyday life! ;)

I'd love to see Caroline back in the top 5! I'd rather have her there than Radwanska, even if Radwanska is the superior player right now!

Well I mean it was her father who got her to her 2010 form, if he can get her FH back to what it was then and she can be more aggressive with her BH she could beat anyone with her movement. That BH is really one of the best in Women's tennis and it could be so much more of a weapon.

I know what you feel about the AO. 12 exams in January for me. :hysteric:

Me too! :lol: My post ratio per day has dramatically increased over the last few weeks! :help:

Now I'll probably watch the first two episodes of American Horror Story: Asylum :hearts:
