not yet..

are you getting a replacement?

[frogman]

hopefully getting it sent back over, but you never know with these things

[Jimmy D]

Damn dude. You use Seekdroid or anything? I mean if its in another country it might not help, but at least you can wipe personal data off it remotely.

[frogman]

froggy - you posted earlier that evey phone has carrier bloatware - iphone doesnt - all planet 3 stuff on my iphone is just a link in the browsers bookmarks - there is nothing else 3 related on the phone. seems to me you base have a hatred of apple products despite a serious lack of actually having used the product - ie you hate steve jobs

[frogman]

You got me down to a tee. Now tell me how I feel about my parents.

[kranky al]

i dunno maybe you are pissed at them and life in general due to being the result of a grudge fuck - your dad was filthy on her and pounded away in rage and she was dreaming about being reamed by steve jobs at the time so all in all you have ended up being a twisted individual.



how should i fucking know and why should i care - you just arent that important to me

i do however feel the need to pull you up on your misrepresentations which are many

[frogman]

Fascinating. Go on

While that may leave Google's Android Market more vulnerable in some respects, security experts say all mobile operating systems are open to similar kinds of attacks.

.

[flauntster]

On March 5, Rich Cannings, who heads Google's Android security team, wrote on a Google blog that the company had removed the bad apps from the Android Market, remotely removed them from affected devices, suspended the accounts of developers it believes were associated with the attacks, and contacted law enforcement about the incident. It also sent security updates to the devices involved that Google says prevents attackers from accessing any more information from them.

sounds like a pretty good response to me

[Andyy]

Those apps shouldnt of been in the Marketplace to begin with.

Few security experts have spoken out and believe that google needs to step up start curating its Marketplace

[frogman]

And the fundamental differences between IOS and android are illustrated.

You can go and play in your safety pen. Im gonna be over here, where I can do whatever the fuck I want.

I can say honestly I have owned an iphone (3g) and used many an iphone 4... Compared to a high level android they are absolute balls. The only decent feature is the lcd panel and the screen is too small anyway so it's wasted. The rest: not enough ram, fucking shit OS designed for retards and/or hairdressers, can't change battery, no flexibility, fucking itunes, very fragile (too much glass), only 1 button (maybe so hairdressers don't get confused), no fully functional google maps etc etc... They are pure shit.

the interface itself still kicks arse - its the only phone ive ever had where i havnt even considered reaching for the insrtuction manual - intuitive to th n'th degree

The rest: not enough ram

yes yes and yes

, fucking shit OS designed for retards and/or hairdressers,

or people who dont have time/inclination to fuck around with phones - before i did this 66 hr a week job i owned my own business which was pretty much my entire life - an os where i could learn on the run - easily - fuck you you condescending arsehole - i had 30 odd staff to manage and a million headaches a day - interestingly it was a mobile phone franchise - no time to learn how to root things - i didnt even get a chance to root my mrs

can't change battery

=smaller phone = still - not going to spend a lot of time defending this one - shit lack of featue

, no flexibility,

unless you jailbreak it - which was the laughing stock of the whole phone industry - aaahahahhahaha you have to jail bbreak it tttttooooo doooo aaannyyything - they stopped laughing when they got rooted

fucking itunes,

i would base 9-% of my argument on this poxy bloated fuckup of a program if i was the prosecution - no excuse and 90% of the reason why my next phone will more than likely be android

[ very fragile (too much glass),

heeerp deee durrrrp deee duuuurp

only 1 button (maybe so hairdressers don't get confused)

huuuuurp deeee duuuuurp deeee duuuurp squared,

no fully functional google maps etc etc... They are pure shit.

cant comment - have an awesome offroad gps for iphone - sensational - for onroad i use a tom tom - no comment - i assume that androids is better from your comment.

[Paj]

you cant be fucked rooting an android, but can be fucked jailbreaking an iphone?

[kranky al]

no - you incredibly dense person - i cant be bothered doing either - i want my computer shit strictly tv dinner style - im too busy making awesome feeds for my mrs in between stoking the 4by up for the latest offroad adventure and sampling unbelievably good cheap wines and getting superb blowjobs off supermodels who beg my wife if they can have a go etc etc etc..... ok - i will admit - my life isnt that good - but aside from the supermodel shit - it is - why would i waste any of my time fucking round on a phone? or a computer?

[Paj]

sure - but if youre buying a phone that causes you so much stress, just get a nokia. or calm down

[Hoser]

You just shot yourself in the foot saying you need to jailbreak your iphone to do the stuff you want on it. If you had a droid you wouldn't have to dick around with it. And yes google maps isn't perfect but it's way better than tom tom and I've used both a lot. And it's free, but then I'm guessing you haxored tomtom anyways?
Denial isn't a river in Egypt you know?

[Hoser]

Hai guys
http://www.ijustinofficial.com/Site/About_Me.html

[stevene]

i heard talk about nokia being able to support android apps in the near future?

actually reading some news looks like it will be nokia and microsoft

might have to move to htc phone

[brooa]

Nokia went to shit ages ago. I did chuckle at the fact Ms are loosing market share even with w7. Android growing steadily is a good sign. Apple Gained only .5% tho? Maby people are waking up?

[flauntster]

might have to move to htc phone

being based on a linux kernel i thought youd be all over that shit, hehe

[flauntster]

Those apps shouldnt of been in the Marketplace to begin with.

agreed, although the same has happened with apple before... theyre both guilty of letting dodgy apps in

um - the only thing i would want to jailbreak my iphone for would be to fuck off its music player and replace it with something that is remotely useful to me (can i do this?) other than that the phone is perfect for my needs as is


edit: just found an alternate music player in the app store - cfb i didnt think of doing this before - my iphone -=- 100% itunes free - no jailbreak

[frogman]

The fact you have to void your warranty to replace such a basic component is fucked.

[Aurien]

glaxay s arrived, it looks awesome cant wait to play with it tonight

[heist]

ewww samsung

[brooa]

Aurien use romkitchen straight up. Soooo much faster!

[kranky al]

are you hard of hearing - its available at the appstore - no jailbreak

[frogman]

no, im just faster than you are. I replied before you edited.

[kranky al]

furry muff then

[Jimmy D]

Aurien use romkitchen straight up. Soooo much faster!

+1.

Much better to test 3BR, then install a better ROM straight up. Especially if you got it from Telstra who are still playing the blame game with Samsung about the lack of Froyo.

[Paj]

saw one of those new tegra 2 based models... its getting scary now
next phone will definitely be one of those

[flauntster]

ooer, ill have to give this a try sometime..

[Andyy]

What are ROMs?

like, new UI skins or somethin?

[frogman]

Basically its a new operating system.

[Andyy]

what are some good ones to look at?

[frogman]

depends on your phone. cyanogen is a good starting place.

xda has more dev stuff though.

How to replace your wallet with your phone

[GrandMaster]

eh that cardkey one is a bit shit, i thought it was going to use some rfid/nfc or whatever those hid cards use to sploit the door.
youve got fuckall chance of doing anything unless you have access to the network that runs the cardkey server (if its set up by someone with half a clue you wont)

Yeah, limited in practical applications, but cool proof of idea.

I dont know much about cracking into protected wireless networks. How difficult it is?

[GrandMaster]

depends on the encryption method, if any chumps are still running wep they can be cracked in about 5 minutes
wpa can be cracked but you have to be sniffing at the right time to pick up an authentication request over the air
i think wpa2 is still secure last i read, assuming you have a complex enough password
enterprise wireless networks are usually running wpa2 with certificate authentication and dynamic encryption keys - really difficult to hack

*updates his wifi security to wpa2* go on.

[flauntster]

yeh im surprised anyone still dares to use wep?
if youre interested frogman, for research purposes of course, haha.. http://www.aircrack-ng.org/
the only hurdle really is getting a wireless NIC thats supported

[fatnick]

my olds still use wep cos they have an old lappy that cant do wpa

but i set up acl's so they all good
