Its not because he's rich, its because its his own fucking plane and quite honestly he should be able to do whatever he wants to with his own property
Agreed. I have never flown a private airplane to Japan but here in the US private airplanes are NEVER accessed through commercial gates, i.e. you don't go through the normal security areas. I have flow into countless small airports but also O'Hare, Nashville, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and many other large airports - and only one time (O'Hare) did I even go through a metal detector. It went off like a brass band (I had 2 knives plus keys, watch, phone, etc) - the guard just waved me on through. Now, if I were going to bring throwing stars home from Japan - I'd ask about it, not assume same rules as home. But, if I had such items at ANY airport in the USA with a private plane, I would have no qualms about carrying them in my briefcase.
I think that Jobs doesn't really want to eliminate jailbreaking - just not make it so easy that everyone does it.
The fact that iPhones can be jailbroken (jailbreaked?) means that a lot of people who would not otherwise buy the phone, will go ahead and get it. Even those that jailbreak probably buy a few apps from Apple anyway - and Apple doesn't have to support any problems they have. It's a win-win for Apple, non-JB phones are easily supported and JB phones don't have to be.
Yes, I know, it's a development vehicle, not intended for sale.
So the point of your rant is..... what exactly?
For a large majority of people, that device is the iPhone.
A 3% global market share is your idea of a "large majority"?
Try a 25%+ US market share of smartphones. Pedantically speaking this is a large minority, not a majority, but either way it's a lot of phones.
Mac mini, Apple remote, and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
I use exactly this setup, it works great. I also have DVDPedia with the plug-in for Front Row so I can pull up all my ripped DVD's with the Apple remote, very handy.
I have a box that takes DVI and Toslink and converts it into HDMI, but I've never gotten around to hooking it up - the Mac Mini works fine through the VGA port.
For large values of one, one equals two, for small values of two.
