So what you're really trying to say is that you are banging the maid and trying not to get caught by your wife? Your conscience eating you up much? And to be honest with you, in this day in age anyone can find out whatever they want about you. Government or not.
Oh Man, we are living in a different world now. A world where hackers are collaborating with the product manufacturer and in return the company giving a public shout out to the hacker.
Wow, that's a start, now lets wait and see if the thanks them for all the innovation they've stolen from Evad3rs and come out clean about all the others they've stolen from. AppleCrapple
Why is there always someone that have to say something bad about Apple? go play with your Android if it fits you I don't care, there is nothing wrong with it, just not for me!
that's actually kind of scary, to know my phone has these many holes (now public!!!) to be taken advantage of, if I don't upgrade in order to keep my jailbreak.
there will always be that many holes and what do you think Android is? it's one big hole all together it's an open system so I don't see what the big deal is, it's not like anybody cares.
A new Jb would be really good for people using older devices, like iPhone4. The performance of iOS 7 on those devices has dropped, it's really sluggish...
They forgot to thank them for JB the device. Owner should have control on their device and not them controling you. Without JB you will lost the flexibility.
And a jail brake is going to make older devices faster. Lol. Please. If anything jail braking makes performance slower and has a lot of lag. This last iOS update actually made performance on older iPhone 4's a lot faster.
