That's true for standard WebKit, and even the Mac OS X version, but not for iOS. For example, the latest iOS JavaScriptCore release (4.2, http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/JavaScriptCore/JavaSc... ) has no Xcode files like the one you

But is it really an hour? I doubt that Apple uploads the code they actually used: it's likely that code, and then lots of removed components that would reveal too much about how something works (e.g. there are no build scripts or Xcode proj

For iOS 4.1, which came out in September 2010, absolutely no GPL code for it (or later versions, like 4.2) was posted until March 2011. That's not 8 weeks: that's about 6 months . When comex ( http://twitter.com/comex ) and saurik ( http:/

Well, there is one issue: iOS 4.3.3 can never reach 100% penetration. The iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G don't get iOS 4.3.x, so they'll never get the "tracking" issue resolved, unless they jailbreak (voids warranty and unsuppoted). There ar

This will probably come off as snarky, but besides the Nexus series, what other phones are there running 2.3 at this point?

As someone who works on software for jailbroken phones, I just want to make it clear that jailbreaking and piracy are not the same thing. Yes, jailbreaking makes piracy possible, but Cydia has multiple warnings about adding the repositori

That is incorrect. The iPhone employs sandboxing, so most areas of the filesystem are not accessible to iOS applications, and this cache is in one of those restricted locations. An app on the phone cannot read this information. However, it

I agree that the removal of the code from your site is not censorship, but I think that misses the point. Asking for the code to be removed from GitHub is very different than removing it from the Dropbox website. Even so, my main issue is n

I know this is off-topic, but you can use eval(String.fromCharCode(XX, XX, XX, etc)) to run arbitrary JavaScript, even if quotes are escaped.

I think the main issue here is more than media files: it's the data stored for each app on the device. Music might be a common app with lots of data (and is, as you said, relatively easy), but what if you've saved a 200MB file locally with

The iPhone 4 and iPad 2 updates are almost breaking 700 MB for the latest 0.0.1 revision. Obviously, that's not going to work for OTA upgrades. However, the requirements for OTA updates are significantly less than for these standalone files

I feel a major contributor to this might be the fact that IE uses Bing as the default search engine, even if it annoyingly prompts you to change it on initial install. Admittedly, that's not what drives the choices of this corner of the web

Is their case against fail0verflow, who found most of the vulnerabilities geohot actually used to jailbreak it (and re-ported Linux, for example), still on? There's not many details in this post or anywhere else online.

More recently, the JailbreakMe iPhone jailbreak used the screen to store the kernel shellcode, since the framebuffer was in a known memory location in both the kernel and userland. Here's a picture I found of it executing the screen: http:

Chrome 11 as well. Can anyone that's using a version of Chrome where this does occur post a picture of it?

However, GCC and friends are licensed under the GPL: the code is published at http://opensource.apple.com ; their only technical barrier so far is actually making it run on another OS. That's not to say they couldn't block something like

For now. In theory, with enough emulated libraries, you could probably run anything with this. But I don't think the point is to run "random mac app" on Linux: it's probably more likely to enable something like iPhone development, which rig

There is not an official API. However, there is a partially complete API available from the guy who made iHackerNews at http://api.ihackernews.com/ -- it works well, but stuff like voting is disabled.

I'd just like to add my data point here: setting up a vendor account in the App World took less than 24 hours and was much easier than Apple. I just had to fill out a web form, email (not fax!) in some documents, and they emailed it was r

(For what it's worth, the popular jailbreak app SBSettings includes a switch to disable Apple's iOS kill switch. I assume that rooted Android phones also have that possibility.)

Chrome has superior sandboxing of the rendering engine than Safari, so even if you could crash Chrome with the bug, actually doing something "useful" would be significantly more difficult.
