The Xbox 360 has not been jailbroken (on current firmware). It's had its DVD firmware hacked to allow booting of pirated discs, but you cannot jailbreak the 360 to run unsigned code.

Linux is free. I can't believe I needed to state that on Slashdot.

Brian Dunning of the podcast Skeptoid debunked this ages ago: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4147

How's that any different than a video game console? You can only run "approved" software on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Does that mean these systems are also crippled? As long as they do what they say they'll do, then I don't have a problem. Sony removing "other OS" from the PS3 is a violation of that, and they should be severely spanked.

You can install both Windows and Linux on Apple hardware. All they prevent you from doing is running their software on other's hardware, I don't see the big deal there.

By Apple not licensing their DRM, they forced the music industry to sell mp3s so that other online stores could compete with iTunes (since iPods could only play non-DRM files and Fairplay DRM files). Once this became common place, Apple was able to (forced to?) remove the DRM from their own store.

Isn't there also a medium that a resume can be put on that doesn't even require a computer to read? I can't recall what it is at the moment...

That was the Apple III, and I think it was heat.

Why not have both manual locks and an iKey lock? iKey for the convenience and manual as a backup. Or have a keypad as a backup, etc.

Scholars have known of the letter’s existence for more than 300 years, but not its contents. Apparently the only person who had really studied it was a Haverford undergraduate who spent a semester writing a paper about the letter in 1979. (Mr. Bos called the paper “a truly fine piece of work.”)

So did they know it existed or not? Is the news just that the letter is being returned to France? Big deal.

No glass? Are you crazy? It's one of the defining features that makes that phone such a joy to use. I say that even though the screen on my first iphone spontaneously cracked while just sitting in my pocket. My 3G replacement has lasted for a couple years though.

If I go to a store and hand over some money to buy a product, at that point I stopped being a customer and now a cost center until I am given the product I paid for (a few seconds later). How is this example different other than timing?

They just rebooted the Punisher last year.

They could make him emo, oh wait...

The red sun drains his powers?
