    No, he's the legendary hopeless Chris Holland, a very unfortunate
    character. Just ignore him. He is of no account.

    Not sure how your reply got through, though. Most of us on
    uk.comp.sys.mac use use a fairly simple filtering technique to guarantee
    that we never see what he posts any more (however many new Google Groups
    accounts he has to create - they all seem to get canned after a day or
    two) or followups to them. Time to tweak a setting perhaps.

    Ignorant sod!. I have no time for people like you who use the word
    'gay' in this context.
    Let me reword your header more appropriately.

    Why should they have to check? If the user wants to screw with the
    firmware that's their lookout, not Apples.

    You should not post again until you can learn to do it properly, I.e.
    bottom-posted.

    What are you on about?

    Bottom posting only works if the poster snips all the previous garbage.
    Unfortunately most are too dim or lazy to do so and post the whole article
    everytime. At least with top posting you get straight to the new posting.

    Jobs does seem rather happy, and many people are quite happy with their
    iPhones. So, this might, in fact, be the gayest thing Apple has done.

    Not sure why you equate "happy" with shooting yourself in the foot, but
    this might be some cultural thing.

    Yes. Yes, he does.

    Or, put another way: one incurs all the risk when one deliberately does
    something that is explicitly unsupported. One is responsible for
    anything that happens, good or bad, as a result of such hacking.

    Blaming Apple is childish and illogical. The iPhone is obviously still
    not running the most stable firmware (as is evidence by many of the
    iPhone hackers) so any number of things can cause a massive upgrade like
    this to cause things to go sideways.

    Hacking is good, and should be encouraged, but smart hackers know they
    can't ***** at the world if their hacking does something stupid. It is
    something undertaken at one's own risk.

    For ****'s sake. It's a /phone/. Go ahead and **** with it, just don't
    ****ing ***** about it when it the magic smoke leaves the device and it
    turns into a paperweight. Anyone who ****ed with their iPhone and is
    now blaming Apple when their precious phones crashed are a bunch of
    whiners. Real hackers would look at this as just another fun challenge.

    Bloody amateurs.

    Let's recap:

    - Folks bought iPhones knowing that a.) no third-party apps were
    currently allowed and b.) it was locked to specific providers.
    - Subverting this to unlock features, or allow other providers, or just
    to hack is contrary to any agreement that Apple might honour.
    Therefore, all responsibility for such subversion is completely upon
    anyone /but/ Apple.

    If you didn't want the above bullet points to apply to you, you had the
    choice of not buying an iPhone. There are other phones out there, I'm
    told. Maybe Nokia won't mind at all if you hack on one of their phones
    without permission.

    If you want to hack, you take responsibility for your actions. This is
    especially so as you know full well that Apple does not have to take
    your precious hacks into consideration, nor do they have to accept that
    your hack is ok because you meant well, or were engaged in Noble Hacking
    Intended To Free The Information For The People.

    Any failure to understand these basic facts that leads to *****ing and
    moaning about the Evil Apple Empire are obvious and fine targets for
    derision and ridicule.
