HUH?
Please provide me ANY evidence that Apple is doing this.
Referring to the rethink-wireless article I just now posted, can you
imagine GM coming after you with a horde of lawyers, if you dared
replace the brake pads on your GM car with Brembos, or their seats
with Recaros? Sound pretty absurd to me.
The article you posted was an interpretation of an Apple patent
application; it may or may not be a correct interpretation. But the
article you posted DOES NOT say, nor does it imply that Apple is
taking legal action against those who jailbreak their products - in
fact, the recent ruling about jailbreaking smartphones specifically
makes this illegal.
And you think I'm into conspiracy theories...
Your response is nothing, if not entirely predictable.

Craig
