Re: Fair?
Obviously you have never jailbroken your phone, and are completely unaware of what jailbreaking is. Imagine if your Microsoft Windows computer only allowed you to install Microsoft approved software. But there is another program you really like. But unfortunately Microsoft doesn't like that program because it also changes the appearance of their start menu icon. So they block that application from approval and won't enable the program to be used on your computer.
Is that Fair?? You own the computer, you should be able to install what ever dang software you like. If the computer messes up, or the software causes a security breach... then I say it's not Microsoft's problem, its yours.
This is where Apple falls short.... They absolutely won't allow unapproved apps on your phone. There are tons of apps that are available. They are original pieces of work developed and unapproved by Apple, not pirated apps.
Is it Fair that Apple continues to copy the most installed jailbreak apps and adds them into the latest operating system without giving full credit to the original developer?
Many apps in the Cydia store have to be paid for also. They just change the way the original operating system operates. Something Apple can't stand for.
I always jailbreak my phone, I love having text to speech when I drive in my car. I love having my phone automatically go into silent mode as soon as it connects to the wifi at my work, and go into a normal sound mode when I leave my work. I love being able to set my phone to send automatic texts to my banks everyday and get my current balance (read to me out loud) while I'm driving down the road to work in the morning. Oh and I love the cursive text font with little hearts on every page of my phone. And Dammit... I want 5 icons in my dock not 4!
Please tell me which apps these are pirated from? And Please tell me how these apps are stealing from someone, considering I PAID for all those tweaks and the original developer received the payment directly.
Yes jailbreaking does open up ways to get pirated app store apps. But the average user doesn't do that or know how to do that. And the ones that do are Losers! And yes the Evaders and other jailbreak devs are trying to block out those ways to pirate apps.
I hope I have at least educated you a tiny bit about what Jailbreaking is.
