Comment Re:Opinions on the Pirate Party (Score 1) 188

- What is your opinion on the party?

What is the opinion of this party?

- On what issues do you agree with them and which do you disagree?

With which particular pirate?

- Do you think that they will be able to affect the policies or are they an ineffective tongue-in-cheek gesture?

Their policies are not clear and not consistent between their regional factions in the German federation. But in fact by their success at the ballots they actually effect strategies and topics of other parties. This is just as the Green party started in the 70s. Possibly this was their most effective period. At this time the Greens were shaping public opinion sustainably, whereas when in government much later they went with "Realpolitik" and had customized themselves beyond recognition.

- What do you see will be the biggest challenge for them in the future?

So far - the next OS X update for their Macbooks? ;-)

Apple Bans Jailbreakers From the App Store 507

Hugh Pickens writes "Adam Mills writes in the Examiner that Apple has been cutting off access to the iTunes App Store for iPhone hackers and jailbreakers. Sherif Hashim, the iPhone developer who successfully hacked the iPhone OS 3.1.3 and unlocked the 05.12.01 baseband for iPhone 3GS and 3G devices, discovered he'd been cut off and twittered: '"Your Apple ID was banned for security reasons," that's what i get when i try to go to the app store, they must be really angry.' Another hacker, iH8Sn0w, who is behind the Sn0wbreeze tool, confirms that his account has also been deactivated even though iH8sn0w's exploit had only been revealed to Dev Team, the group responsible for the PwnageTool. 'It is kind of surprising that two people associated with jailbreaking have had this happen to them so soon after one another, but it's too early to say if this is a campaign that Apple is starting up,' writes Mills."
