- sirdaz, on 10/10/2007, -6/+66iSpy with my little eye, an Apple spy
- RyeBrye, on 10/10/2007, -1/+58he has the all seeing "i"
- toetagger, on 10/10/2007, -14/+69Apple knows infringement when it does it- I mean sees it.
- max777, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41Jobs is whoever he needs to be at that moment in time
- sholt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30What? Apple legal hires Bothans. Everyone knows this.
- KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -8/+33Just a wild guess, but why would you upload something to your webserver if you're not planning on sharing it with a few people? I think this kid just announced his plans to a few too many people in one too many forums.
- Mohonri, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I do it all the time, so I have access to those files wherever I happen to be, even if I'm halfway around the world.
- akf2000, on 10/10/2007, -3/+26I made a donation to Martyn a couple of days ago, you hear that Apple? I sent him monies, you ain't never gonna catch me, they seek me here, they seek me there, those Steveies seek me everywhere. am I in heaven? Or am I in hell, that damn elusive akf2000-el.
- akatsuki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22That just means they have a mole in the channel. Seems pretty obvious. Best to run some counterintel and expose them.
- brianbennett, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Next time, send it to The Pirate Bay.
- SirZRX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Apple i did some math for u:
Unlocked iPhone||Apple touch + SDK = bazillion dollars + happy customers - HHP2K, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Wow, that's the fastest I've ever seen a corporation move. Hell.
- MrMysterious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Just avoiding the inevitable....
- icsbase, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22Who's your god now, Apple lovers and Steve Jobs fans?
- PhireN, on 10/10/2007, -7/+22And what is even more scary is that the file was only linked to in the secrete, invite only, hidden ipod touch development channel.
- PA42, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I always see people saying this, but how has Apple changed? Look at the very first Mac, it was a closed architecture, you needed special tools just to crack the thing open. This has always been their M-O, create a closed system that is completely developed by Apple and people will either want the product as-it or buy something else. Microsoft has taken an opposite approach in some respects (opening the Windows platform to anyone), but similarly says with their formats that you must abide by MS's rules. So Apple isn't beginning to rot, they are staying to their time-tested business model.
That said, I want my ipod touch opened up. - Zcott, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19This is bad.
- Rapter09, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17Unfortunately, few Bothans died to provide us this information.
- betobeto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14"iHacking...senses....tingling"
- slapded, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17I thought JOBS liked hackers.. guess not
- Nefi, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Funny if Microsoft did this it would be an instant digg-bash fest.
- PA42, on 10/10/2007, -7/+19The compiled code is copyrighted by Apple, it is up to Apple and only Apple how that copyrighted material is given out or sold. Uploading the compiled code to allow for anyone (even one person) to download is infringement of Apple's copyright. Ancillary facts like needing the device to use the code is irrelevant to the law.
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16they've always been like Microsoft. Its just that Apple fanboys are too blinded by their own stupidity to see it.
- FredFredrickson, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13It's funny how everyone acts all weird and surprised when Apple acts like the corporation they are every now and then. Get used to it people - Apple ain't the fun little thing you thought it was. It's a business, just like all the others.
- Murdats, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12thats right, live in your ignorance and continue to believe that apple is divine
- uselessexpert, on 10/10/2007, -6/+17With each day that passes the Apple is beginning to rot, and will eventually become more like Microsoft.
- MWeather, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15Sharing with people and releasing publicly are two entirely different things.
- zerhynn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10This information could be vital to the upcoming technology civil war.
- jonnyeh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Is Steve gonna try to shut down Woz when he finds out he's attached a rotary dial to the ipod touch, turning it into a phone?
- miriv365, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10It's a trap!
- dupswapdrop, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12You bought it but don't look at it, touch it, or try to use it, we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of our law!
- graemee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9This is not the iTouch you're looking for. {waves hand}
- camkerr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Man, that was pretty fast.
- fuzzmello, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12wake up fanboys. your fantasy has you by the balls.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11why the hell did you get dugg down. you are absolutely correct. at least with MS we can pirate their *****. apple is a ***** pain in the ass with their "blessed by steve jobs ass hole" closed system. Apple is much much more evil and money grubbing then MS.
- pxa270, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Well, at least this shows clearly that one of the main stated reasons for closing the iPhone (threatening the stability of the cellular network) was complete BS. The iPod Touch has no cellular radio, and it's closed even tighter than the iPhone. Now it should have been obvious for anyone with half a brain that a cellular handset cannot be hacked to bring down the network, but for some reason (RDF?) a lot of people were all too willing to believe.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I disagree with you about the RIAA, they are much more evil than everythign wrong MS and Apple have ever done combined, but I do agree that Apple is more evil than MS.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Backdoors in iPhones, a quarter to a third of iPods failing and now getting a legal notice served to you before you even finished committing the crime.
And all at a massive premium to the consumer. - FreeMarketeer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Not when those hackers are compromising Apple's gains, ill-gotten via fascist patent and intellectual "property" laws.
- skyshock1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Apple? Quit being evil.
- merlintg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Just host the damn thing off shore . . .
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This is stating the obvious.
- REUYL, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Jobs won't get a cent of my money unless he lets me do what I want with my iPod.
It's a shame this happened, as I was actually considering buying a Touch. - mavisbeacon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6all three comments cracked me up
three hit combo - cleverboy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11Even MORE scary... you folks don't see the problem is NOT about Apple (gasp!) If you have copyrighted software uploaded on a server, and then share the URL with the public... it really doesn't matter if its a password-protected area. I think that's what my.mP3.com got hosed for, right? If I created software, and someone began distributing editted versions without my permission, I'd ask it to be taken down too. So, this sounds like whining to me. Know the law or get skooled by it. Seriously.
- z0mbie2099, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Introducing the iEvil.
- Frost9999, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10What is it in Apple's business model that makes them money by locking down ipods and iphones etc?
- diggin2china, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The harder they push, the more interested hackers will become. Why not just open it up and get over it?
- jonnyeh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Who do they have a contract with for the ipod touch?
