I wish I had internet access that didn't have inbound port blocking, no caps and 1gigabit speed all for $70 a month. Instead I have internet access where I'm not even allowed to vpn in to work, tons of port blocking inbound and outbound, 300gb a month cap and only 50mbit speed down with 10mbit speed up, all for $70 a month. Mind you my isps restrictions on servers isn't just TOS but actual port blocking, port 25 outbound is blocked, port 53 inbound is filtered, port 80 inbound is filtered plus god knows what else.

Arent the european networks avoiding LTE at the moment? so it should be
Compared to European vendors...
AT&T - Expensive. Unreliable.
Verizon - Expensive. Unreliable.
TMobile - Expensive. Unreliable.
Sprint - Expensive. Unreliable.

So the price points samsung announces come from the carriers? Your proof isn't proof, all it is is proof that the manufacturers have a MSRP and not a monopolistic contract demanding the carrier set the price. MSRP is just a suggested retail price.

What? since when? where do you think the carriers get their unsubsidized prices from?

Ah you're right and it looks like the providers have decided on charges like $35, must be some hella cheap smartphones. Further they must specify that fee in the contract beforehand so its not like they're going to be able to promise you $35 then jack up the fee later, they have to tell you how much it will be then stick to it.

If the carrier sets the price higher than apples then apples price takes effect, its whoever is lowest.

I don't believe the code allows for them to charge for unlocks so nope unlock in 3 months voila.

I'm pretty sure its apple that sets the unsubsidized price, you know since they're the ones that make the phone and set the actual price they sll it at.

That kind of directly goes against the mandate so seems they'd get in trouble for that.

The point is its still twisted copper, twisted copper isnt going the way of the dodo

Don't you mean 330 ft runs?

ok ok so for legacy installations you might only reach 180ft.

We don't have the keys to the bootloader and samsung is likely to patch it on phones sold in the future. Further this unlock doesn't allow us to load the same recoveries/roms/kernels other galaxy s4 devices have, the kernels and recoveries have to be modified to exploit this attack.

It's morel like if you forgot to lock your back door so your neighbor slips in it once or twice, you notice lock the back door and its back to secure.

Unfortunately this is not a bootloader unlock, it allows you to load unsigned kernels and recovery images but the bootloader must be exploited each time you install a new image. Further it's easily fixed and the next OTA from at&t/vzw is expected to patch it.

Credit cards are typically (although not always) unsecured. He said cell phones dont show up on your credit because they're unsecured debt, so by that logic if I don't pay my credit card bill it won't show up on my credit report either as my credit card is unsecured debt.

actually its a fancy shovel that collapses.

So you think life is best lived paycheck to paycheck with no backup in case of an emergency?
