iPhone Jailbreaking Could Crash Cellphone Towers, Apple Claims

Okay now, seriously? Apple claims that JailBreaking an iPhone can cause a crash of AT&T cellular towers, and that it constitutes a "catastrophic" threat to national security. Really? National Security? Now I know Apple is full of itself. AT&T is doing well enough on it's own screwing up cellular bandwidth by not having a robust enough network to properly manage all the iPhone traffic. They just didn't bother to spend the money to beef up their network, so excuse me, but I doubt allowing people to legally JailBreak their phone is going to cause much ruckus. As it stands, people JailBreak their phones all the time...has anything happened because of it? No... This is Apple's attempt to further lock-down their technology, that's all.

About Me

Name: Tekk Guy
Country: United States




About Me: I'm that tech guy…you know the one. When things are broken, I fix them. When they don't make sense, I explain them. When nothing is getting done, I do it. When a void occurs, I fill it. When there is silence on the call, I state the necessary. I'm that guy in IT that is relied upon by the competent as the nth tier of support, overlooked by management, and despised by the slackers. An InfoTech professional, aficionado of all things technological. I've been getting my geek on full-time since 1993, and have worked with information technology in some capacity since 1997 including VB 4-6, ASP, .Net, SQL, Java, HTML, ColdFusion, VBS, JS, Crystal Reports, COGNOS and more. I've worked on global scale environments for Fortune 500 companies and as a software engineer for local government agencies. My expertise is in Visual Basic currently in the .Net flavor, and focuses on user applications. I am also currently active in the ASP.Net programming arena, specializing in DotNetNuke Module development, site creation, and administration. Stated simply, if you need to get information from a-to-z, I'm the guy you want to see.
