They don't, but that's a security restriction. They can't give dynamic-codesigning to all apps, or their security (which that disables, as a requirement to enable the JIT) would then be useless.

This is probably breaking my NDA to say this, but yes, they did. Web.app now has the "dynamic-codesigning" entitlement, which enables Nitro.

I'm not sure about this, but is it possible for something attributed to Anonymous to be a "hoax"? Since I thought Anonymous supposed to represent whoever calls themselves Anonymous, I didn't think there was a way for someone to "fake" that:

That is simply incorrect. I do not "know" Ilfak. I just emailed him, discussed the cost of a student license, provided proof of being a student, and filed an order form for IDA Pro Standard 6.0. The only thing that at all fits with your sto

That is incorrect. I purchased IDA Pro as an individual this year, and I am a simply a student interested in reverse engineering. (I believe what you are saying may be true for the "advanced" version, but from what I can tell anyone can pur

I'd agree, but it's not shown on your public profile, only in your dashboard when you login.

And they don't release a buildable or complete copy of the source (more info: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2530689 ). But, ZodTTD's emulators aren't in the App Store since Apple won't allow them, so that's not really relevant here.

by Xuzz 15y ago
I've talked with ZodTTD about this, but I've also done my own research into the licensing claims. What I've found is that most of his Cydia (and, presumably, Android) apps do rely on at least one GPL-licensed component. Note, however, that

by Xuzz 15y ago
That's a good point, I didn't realize they were in the Cydia Store. I've asked saurik about it. (I thought that ZodTTD had actually released the source, but it appears it is often years out of date.) And you can't ever sell SNES9x, which he

Jay (saurik) doesn't actually have any control over what's available in Cydia, just as Ubuntu doesn't control what's included in a third-party repository you add. You can, however, take it up with the repository hosting the packages: but in

Well, except Honeycomb. From what I've been able to tell, that will only be open sourced when Ice Cream Sandwich is released, which appears to near at the end of the year.

I actually don't understand this. Those are all features — good features — but that doesn't mean it has a good user experience. Android, when I use it, has lots of completely strange and unintuitive choices: a third of the OS in green/black

I think it's really awesome that Linux is finally taking the lead with innovation on the desktop — Gnome-Shell and Unity are just the beginning. And, they are not "catch-up": they are released both before and with more interesting changes t

The most interesting thing here, to me, is not that this happened — with the MPAA as it is — but this is the first time we've really seen something like this. For example, the MPAA does not require Apple to block movie purchases or playback

As the post below says, this may not actually be an important leak. But, it does highlight the issues with the "fragmentation" issue in a much more real way than we've seen before. What happens to all these Android handsets sold that don't

Everyone with a jailbroken device (~10% of users) is signed up, as well as others who use it just for the ability to downgrade -- useful for testing old firmware revisions for development purposes, for example. (Seriously, the scale is quit

Their next app (web?) framework, Enyo, does exactly this (in fact, apps are developed in Chrome). They haven't announced the licensing options (i.e. if it will be legal to use on other platforms), but I've run the betas of it on my iPad and

It is definitely a violation. For example, here's ( http://pastebin.com/GvFVfWHV ) an iOS crash log (found via a quick google) that shows (on line 77) that the WAKWindow code is, in fact, inside the WebCore binary (statically linked in). As

by Xuzz 15y ago
They are. For example, in this[0] crash report (found with a quick Google search), on line 77, it clearly shows that the WAKWindow function is inside the WebCore binary (statically linked). You can also find this by running class-dump on a

Inspection of the provided WebCore binaries and the libraries that use them, Objective-C runtime information (often via Cycript; http://cycript.org/ ), and the fact they include headers (but not implementations) in the iOS releases.

by Xuzz 15y ago
Those are headers, not the implementations. If you find the .m files that go with those, that'd be awesome, but they do not appear to release them.

WAK is a set of classes in WebCore. They are released in the Mac code releases, for example: http://opensource.apple.com/source/WebCore/WebCore-351.9/wak... For some reason, Apple does not include them in the iOS releases, in a violation

by Xuzz 15y ago
This is a step forward, but they are still violating the license. Those releases do not have the necessary information to build a new copy, as required by the LGPL: no project IDE (Xcode) files and no makefiles for the iPhone. And, as sauri

Not at all! Multitasking support, even with the VoIP or Audio profiles, does not prevent you from supporting iOS 3: those users just won't get the multitasking features, just like iPhone 3G an iPod 2G users don't on iOS 4.x.

I got one from this offer too. They announced it on their blog [1] a few months back, I'm not sure if it's still open, but there's definitely no harm in trying. [1]: http://pdnblog.palm.com/2011/02/mojo-and-enyo-two-great-oppo...

Which is about 10% of all iDevices, so not particularly useless. (And, as others gave said, that doesn't even include the developers who can sign and install it for themselves, as well.)

by Xuzz 15y ago
They don't. Well, they might, but not an iOS binary. There's Makefiles for Android and (I believe) the desktop, but nothing setup for use with the iPhone SDK.
