Comments Off on Justin Long jailbreaks his iPhone?
Good ole’ Justin Long. He of the “I’m a Mac” fame and the underrated movie “Accepted.” Recently, Long appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, and well, if you fast forward the video to 7:04, you can see Cydia and TVOutTuner sitting comfortably on the iPhone screen.

The Library of Congress, which oversees the Copyright Office, issued a ruling on Monday stating that iPhone owners can legally jailbreak their devices and install unauthorized apps onto their phones. This, however, doesn’t mean that Apple can’t enact roadblocks to frustrate users interested in doing so. In any event, it all seems to be a […]

Tuesday, February 16, 2010
For a company founded by 2 individuals who did their fair share of hacking, or phreaking to be more precise, Apple doesn’t take too kindly to iPhone jailbreakers. Like clockwork, every iPhone OS update seems to throw another monkey wrench into the efforts of jailbreakers, with many updates actually bricking the jailbroken phones themselves. Now […]

Comments Off on New iPhone worm Rickroll’s homescreens of jailbroken iPhones
A new iPhone worm called Ikee is making its way across the homescreens of jailbroken iPhones and replacing the default wallpaper with a picture of 80’s pop singer Rick Astley. A new twist on getting Rick Rolled, I suppose. As of now, the only place where the worm appears to be spreading is in Australia, […]

Friday, February 13, 2009
ArsTechnica has an interesting article highlighting Apple’s attempts to convince the Copyright Office to not issue an exemption to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act for individuals who jailbreak their iPhone. On the other side of the coin is the EEF (Electronic Fronteir Foundation) which is “pushing hard” for the exemption. Every three years, the Copyright […]

Wednesday, January 28, 2009
The iPhone Dev Team is advising users of jailbroken iPhones NOT to install Apple’s latest 2.2.1 iPhone Software Update. Astonishingly, the update might brick your iPhone.
