Interesting.

If we get the freedom to run our choice of apps on a given hardware 
system, will we someday get the freedom to run our choice of OSes on the 
hardware we choose?


I trust Andrew Kluthe and I aren't the only people who daydream about 
being able to legally enjoy OS X on hardware not made by Apple.


This is an interesting precedent, possibly the beginning of a deep sea 
change favoring consumer choice

The only information I could find on the LOC site was this one:

This does cover the use of handsets, but am I wrong or does this narrow the

You can tell the whole world now! :-) But I wonder then if Apple is going to be 
all that motivated to manufacture high quality computers after people can buy 
(or download) Mac OS X and run it on a dirt cheap PC? Sometimes we can shoot 
ourselves in the foot in the name of fair play. Please oh God let us not go 
back to the days of the Performa when Apple became convinced by all the pundits 
that it had to compete in the business place to survive! And where are those 
pundits today? Probably writing for a hollywood rag.

Re: Jailbreaking

2010-07-26 Thread Bob Sneidar
Thanks Lynn. That was a good read. I was intending to jailbreak my 3G iPhone in 
order to tether it, but there is a little blurb there which says, 

Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable used 
wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telecommunications 
network, when circumvention is initiated by the owner of the copy of the 
computer program solely in order to connect to a wireless telecommunications 
network and access to the network is authorized by the operator of the 
network. 

I read that to mean that ATT can still say that tethering is forbidden and I 
am still legally obligated to comply. sigh

Its not allowed because its not authorized by the operator of the network,
which charges for that privilege.

One thing I notice immediately is that at least one of the not recommended

I remember a magazine article from my youth (1960's) describing how 
someone had taken a Fiat 600 and put a Porsche engine in it (I forget if 
it was a 912 or 911 engine - either one would be quite radical). Now 
THAT's a jailbreak I can appreciate! I guess it resonated with me 
because I had a Fiat 600 at the time.
