Researchers hack into iPhone via Web

[mrplunkey]

first, I'm not angry bro.....just giving you shit for being a capitalist stooly........

Alas... perhaps I can master capitalism as you have an no longer be a "stooly". But for now I guess I'll just tread through life as I do now.

and if you must know, due to my former employment and more specifically my former employers.......I was told by a federal officer that I "most likely" had my phone tapped, along with others I worked with. Also, remember why most people are here at EF in the first place...........it's not for C&C............go look at the first discussion board if you still don't get it. It's a completely legitimate concern...............especially considering that nationwide penalties are going up...........even a little misdemeanor possession charge can drastically effect your future employment. This may not be an issue for you......but for alot of us it is.

1) I didn't need to know.
2) Some people infer self-importance by constructing these elaborate belief structures based on the notion that the government gives a diddly-damn about their personal activities. I'm not saying you're doing that, but perhaps this can be an opportunity for some self-examination and introspection.

none of this seems to be worth $600. I still don't get why anyone would want to browse the net with some stupid little wallet size box............it's like people have been told it's "so cool"..............but how useful is it really? I can see having some sort of email service which allows you to see possibly important emails on your phone............but just browsing? wtf?

Browsing is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. Personally I think having my voicemails automatically downloaded as sound snipits and organized by caller where I can thumb through them even if I have no service at the moment is worth $600 alone.

Then there's the ipod function and seamless integration with itunes... so sweet.

Then their map/satellite function... it's the shit. You can type something like "Land Rover" and sure enough a little push-pin drops on a map of knoxville almost instantly where you can expand it and see the address and phone number.

Oh and stock trackers, weather services, a killer mail client, etc. etc. This thinkg crushes a Treo and I've always loved those devices.

Anyway... iPhone > All. Buy one today!!!

I didn't own a mobile phone until two years ago.

it's not easy disassociating yourself from pure carnal consumerism............but keep working at it and you'll free yourself of the "stooly" moniker. So hopefully the next time apple puts out some half assed gizmo that's assured to break down long before it's ammortized itself...............you'll stay home and wait for later flights of same product.

I worked for very wealthy Italians..........and that's my final word on this, again........no wrong doing on my part.........ever.................but working for people who are constantly being looked at by the feds............being someone who delivers them very large sums of money.................will get you looked at. No self importance here...........I didn't like it because it made me think twice about "other" activities that I liked to do.............like what is being discussed in discussion board number one on this site..................do you feel me now?

Browsing is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. Personally I think having my voicemails automatically downloaded as sound snipits and organized by caller where I can thumb through them even if I have no service at the moment is worth $600 alone.

really?......that's worth $600 to you?

Then there's the ipod function and seamless integration with itunes... so sweet.

see that's almost the dealbreaker for me..............I HATE ITUNES!!! Itunes fucks with your music files..............happened to all my friends..........shit get's deleted out of your folders for no fucking reason. Case in point.........my ipod just broke a few weeks ago.........so the other day I was looking to backup all my song files to a detachable HD. I hadn't looked at this folder in ages because all of it was on my ipod...................well fuck me was there shit missing.............I mean was there ever. Shit I KNOW i didn't fucking erase.

Then their map/satellite function... it's the shit. You can type something like "Land Rover" and sure enough a little push-pin drops on a map of knoxville almost instantly where you can expand it and see the address and phone number.

let me guess...........you're one of those guys that can't even take a one tank trip anymore without GPS huh? I raz my dad about his acura all the time...............what happened to men who could find their way around the country just by looking up at the position of the sun or the allignment of the stars? There's no grown ass men anymore unfortunately.

no.................................................does that upset you? does it irk you that I simply disavow the need for everything new and impulsive? I'll consider an iphone when two things happen...............A) it comes down in price like a mother........no fucking phone is worth more than a new video game system.....that's just ridiculous B) it has a year or two of TOTAL RELIABILITY under it's belt till then the iphone can lick my taint and swirl my balls..............peace

Yeah... apple is such a terrible company. Maybe if a visionary, get-things-done kinda guy such as yourself ran it... just maybe... then it could be world class!

Oh! I "feel" you now. See, I'm a double-sekrit ninja CIA operative too! My cufflinks shoot paralysis darts and my ball point pen doubles as a remote control for my Astin Martin Vanquish. I would tell you more about my work, but lives hang in the balance and loose lips sink ships. Of course, I'm sure you understand.

really?......that's worth $600 to you?

Yup. I typically make and receive 40-60 calls a day each. During my peak times (9:30-11:30 am) I usually get more calls and vmails than I can process. So I use my afternoons to sort-through and prioritize things.

OMG its an apple conspiracy to deny you access to music! My guess is they've flagged you as a malcontent based on what you post here on the EF site, traced your IP, cross-referenced it back to your apple username, and sekritly flagged your itunes client with the "randomly delete shit" option! Damn those apple guys.

let me guess...........you're one of those guys that can't even take a one tank trip anymore without GPS huh?

There's no grown ass men anymore unfortunately.

Yeah, but if you were a real man you'd be accessing the EF board using a serial line and decoding the signal by hand instead of using one of those new-fangled computers to do it for you. So I put the question back to you, where HAVE the real men gone?

Oh and stock trackers, weather services, a killer mail client, etc. etc. This thinkg crushes a Treo and I've always loved those devices.

Still having trouble with that tricky QUOTE tags, eh? Some things never change.

no.................................................does that upset you? does it irk you that I simply disavow the need for everything new and impulsive?

No, I'm not upset at all. It actually comforts me to know I'll always be ahead of some people technologically simply due to their beliefs. As competitive as today's environment is, it's nice to know there are a few easy wins left.

Oh... and your standard is "more than a new video game system"? Do you mean to tell me you're comparing a phone, which is a business productivity tool, to a console gaming system? Now *that* is too funny. I feel guilty about even having this discussion with you now because it's probably detracting from your Playstation time.
