A Friend’s Reasons for JailBreaking Her IPhone – Part II

In the first part of this series I described what “jailbreaking” an IPhone is, and I also attempted,  at least at a high level, to describe why someone would like to jailbreak their IPhone. In this article I’m going to describe some of the neat things I have been able to do with my IPhone. [...]

A Friend’s Reasons for Jail Breaking Her IPhone – Part I

A number of friends and family have asked me why I decided to jail break my phone.

Change your view – Eat a baby

Here I am sitting in a plane, a different plane than the one I was sitting in a few hours ago.  This one is supposed to be headed from Minnesota to New Jersey, but currently it sitting on a tarmac, making its way slowly in a line of airplanes to a spot where it will [...]
