iPhone 1.1.3 Update Confirmed, Breaks Apps and Unlocks 412
An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo has gathered conclusive evidence which confirms that the iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 update is 100% real. It installs only from iTunes using the obligatory Apple private encryption key, which nobody has. The list of new features, like GPS-like triangulation positioning in Google Maps, has been confirmed too. Apparently it will be coming out next week, but there's bad news as expected: it breaks the unlocks, patches the previous vulnerabilities used by hackers and takes away all your third-party applications."

Yes, because OS publishers have typically been liable for security holes in their products in the past and have had judgments against them... in fact, Microsoft is now out of business.
Get real.

Predictions are difficult, and I'm no seer. This one looks obvious to me though.

Poor iPhone shaking on the ground, a running helicopter in the distance.
A fanatic iPhone hacker tries to twiddle with the touch-screen to get the damn big investment to work, next to him stands Jobs in a long latex costume, holding a firmware update next to the hacker's head. He says "Unlock this" and fires the update 1.1.3.
But Neo isn't there, Neo is home, enjoying a simple unlocked phone that has 3G and tons on applications and just works (and it was cheaper)
When iphone came out, a lot of people made the noise "locked phone ? forget it mate, i will go and buy something else"
