Apple Delivers Warning: Hacking iPhone Might Harm It.

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Hello and welcome to Wednesday. Here’s the all-time least shocking post ever…Apple is actually warning people that hacking their extremely popular iPhone might actually, wait for it, do damage to it.

That’s riiiiiight all you hackers around the country, unlocking your iPhone to work with other wireless carriers might be your iPhone’s undoing when your phone updates to the version 1.1.1 Apple rolled out .

According to the article I just read, Apple executives are saying “they have discovered many unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet causing irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software. Now modified iPhones may become permanently inoperable with future Apple-supplied iPhone software updates installed. “

Wow, not cool. Whether or not this is confirmed or not remains to be see, but if you’re dropping that kind of dough on a little cell phone, do you really want to find out? Yeah, thought not. That said, why not opt for a different cell phone, hook it up with a MoGo Headset as soon as they’re launched and really be rocking? No hacking necessary, no Apple fear required.

Mobile MySpace Hitting the Airwaves

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Happy Monday friends.  Hopefully the weekend saw you getting outside and enjoying whatever semblance of Summer is left in your area.  Hopefully you really were outside and not inside on MySpace.  If you HAD to be on MySpace, and trust me I know a great deal of people that HAVE to be on it far too often, things might be getting a lot better for you, and you might just be able to combine the great outdoors and MySpace in one glorious union.

Yeah, enough chit chat, the bottom line is, Fox Interactive Media is launching free Mobile MySpace access.  Yikes.  According to the article I just read, “Accessing the Internet from a mobile phone will soon be as common as text messaging and voice calling, and it’s FIM’s goal to deliver these new free, ad-supported experiences as additional options for our users on top of our incredibly popular premium mobile services.”   Basically, that means you’re going to be able to do all this, BUT, you’re going to have to put up with a whole slew of ad’s.  It’s more TheirSpace than it is your space, but nevertheless, you’ll be able to check up on those all-important bulletins from wherever your cell phone may roam.

That last sentence, just made me extremely depressed.  I am sorry if it did the same to you.
