Apple: firmware update likely to make unlocked iPhones "permanently inoperable" http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070924/aqm208.html
In October 1971, phreaking was introduced to the masses when Esquire Magazine published a story called "Secrets of the Little Blue Box" by Ron Rosenbaum. This article featured Joybubbles and John Draper prominently, synonymising their names with phreaking. The article also attracted the interest of other soon-to-be phreaks, such as Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs who went on to found Apple Computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_box Once hackers and phreakers, now serious people that follow law. ps: And for something completely different, in a portuguese show, "prĂ³s e contras", Paulo Querido was owned by the show hostess and Paulo Trezentos by Microsoft Director, the first one apparently got the wrong program subjects and the second should stop with the pinch jokes about MSFT. -- //VD _______________________________________________ tce mailing list tce@lists.paradigma.pt http://lists.paradigma.pt/mailman/listinfo/tce
