Unfortunately it's now illegal to unlock your phone and switch providers when they decide to violate you rectally.

I love it! I'm sure they made damn sure apps like orbot (tor) are not available, but they could care less if malware gets through.

Smart phone.

Did you watch the video? Yes, they are blaming video games.

It does sound more like a proof of concept than an actual attack.

I don't know how you got rated "Insightful" for that ridiculous comment. Name calling will not solve anything and neither will creating a list of people who LEGALLY own a gun. Maybe we should compile a list of everyone who owns an iPhone? What is this list supposed to accomplish? If anything it would help criminals know who doesn't have a gun.

Forty years using technology that is forty years old. I wonder how long it would take with today's technology.

Nope. I've used the software mentioned in the article before, and it would most certainly not survive a proper HD re-image. The computer shop either didn't re-image the HD like they said they did, or the FBI lied about taking it to a computer shop in the first place.

That being said, I never upgrade the CPU in my system without also upgrading the motherboard. The chip may as well be soldered in.

Cellular networks get away with it all the time. They sell "unlimited" plans that have hidden caps where they cut you off for "abuse".

Cyanogenmod is not an official Android release. You can't get it from the google store, it has to be installed on a device that you've rooted. If you jailbreak your iPod, expect similar results if you download unofficial unsigned apps.

And it's up to you to determine who has the right to speak or act? Fuck you. Freedom of speech means accepting that someone, somewhere will say something you don't like. Deal with it and move on.

It's hardly surprising that the device is so difficult to assemble. It was designed that way to prevent "amateur" repairs thereby forcing consumers to replace a broken unit rather than repair it. Even the battery is not user replaceable.

And, I can see it now, every spoiled 8 year old would have their own car. It will be like today with smart phones.

This isn't reddit folks.
