But I can't root my iPhone and use it as a Node.js server whilst simultaneously sniffing 802.11 traffic at DefCon. Therefore it's useless to me, and to everyone else who owns a phone as well.

- asaph 8y agoThanks for that. I haven't heard a Russian reversal[1] in years. One my alltime favorites from back in the day (when Steve Jobs was still alive): At other companies you get jobs. At Apple, Jobs gets you! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal

- gumby 8y agoDid someone vote this down because they thought I was sarcastic? I loved how the parent had characterized it.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoUnlike with iOS, you don't need to root your phone (or pay Apple a yearly fee) to do those things and many more on an Android.
- umanwizard 8y agoThat comment was sarcastic. It was intended to mock common pro-Android arguments by pointing out that the author doesn't care about doing that at all.
- saagarjha 8y agoYou don't need to root your phone to do that on iOS, either.
- StreamBright 8y agoTotally. This is why the 0.000001% of mobile phone users who want to run node.js whilst simultaneously sniffing 802.11 traffic at DefCon use something else.
