Apple releases iOS updates for iGadgets, plugs security hole

12 August, 2010
We have some bad news for iPhone/Pod/Pad owners, though it's sort of good news too. Apple has closed the PDF security flaw that allowed hackers to run arbitrary code - one that jailbreaks the phone or...

it cannot possibly be the Monticello Dam – Glory Hole, since it doesn´t look like that at all. More likely it is the Ladybower Reservoir Outlet in the East Midlands of England.

the surroundings are quite different, as well as the actual shape of the overflow spillway. just saying

      Anonymous, 13 Aug 2010Go ahead and keep on plugging the holes, Jobs. iPhone guys ... moreNobody cares what you think butthole! Windows CE FTW! mwha mwha mwha mwha mwha ok back to earth. Firstly the iphone is hackable (not that you really need to) andriod is fantastic in the smart phone world, nokia is not! now nokia & andriod together would be great but thats not going to happen anytime soon. now unbiased non haters of andriod or iphone, when they use both products most go for the iPhone. the only reason what andriod current outsells the iphone in the states is due to the iphone only being on 1 service provider (and not a good one at that!) Andriod is fantastic but ios is better. :) i also think webOS could be a strong rival to ios and andriod if HP handle it well!

Also to recover that I need to first restore my iphone so that it will clear the jailbroked apps space and will be available. But if I restore iphone will it remove the apple apps also? what if i have purched a lot of apps, what will happen to them? please correct me and my assumption. thank you

                yes you will loose ur jailbreak if u update and wont be able to jailbreak again for a while. yes restoring will remove everything... if uv purchased apps you just redownload them to your phone via app store or sync ur phone with itunes and it will save all your purchased apps.

                cydia apps will go..if uv purchased them youll have to reregister for them so dont loose ur jailbreak. just download the program ROCK and the when you open it there is a option to close the PDF fault but keeping your jailbreak

                  if you jailbreak 4.0.1 and then go to cydia and download ROCKAPP you can download a program that blocks out the mailcious part of the pdf hole so u can stay jailbroken. seriously guys dont give up your jailbreak its too good

                    Go ahead and keep on plugging the holes, Jobs. iPhone guys and gals will finally ditch the unhackable iPhone almighty and go back to Nokia or Android, if that matters.

                            just dont upgrade your iphone to 4.0.2 and thats it... no need to worry and besides theres a lot of hackers out there... for me its a challenge rather than a frustration... its fun hacking gadgets... =)

                                        Yeah i think everyone does that.. The Co-operation between companies to make a product
