The hackers' manifesto is just the latest in what Apple CEO Steve Jobs called a "cat-and-mouse game" between his company and those who want to make unauthorized changes to the iPhone. In London a week ago to tout the smart phone's Nov. 9 launch in the U.K., Jobs implicitly promised that Apple would counter attempts to unlock the iPhone.

"People will try to break in, and it's our job to stop them breaking in," he said then.

On Monday, Apple issued a statement of its own, saying that any modification to an iPhone automatically voids its warranty. It also warned customers against unlocking their phones. "Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs ... will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed," the company said.


Well, gee, golly! What do you expect from someone that has Apple's history of customer abuse? Remember, they still try to make the iNazis think that only Apple memory will work in an Apple computer. I don't buy this business about mods making this expensive, overated thangy inoperable. iStevie has his controlfreak on! Also noticed that Amazon is geared to give iTunes a run for the money. Good! Maybe we can have a price war and the buck a tune will disappear. You can read the rest of the article at PCWorld. Wow, AT&T must really have the good on Darth Jobs. Enough of this negativity.

Take a look at this hilarious clip about iDarth the iWitch:



C'mon Apple people. You have to admit this is funny.
