What is a car maker decided to place software in the on-board computer that cut the car off if you go over 50 MPH, or if you enter a neighborhood they do not want you to be in. What if they disabled AWD SUVs that went off-road?That is essentially what Apple is doing with the iPhone. If I want to run programs like Google Voice, or any other host of apps, then I have the right to do it. If Apple refuses to give me full use of the device I paid for, then I will hack it. I am not stealing, or even hurting Apple by hacking a device to use software they do not like.I paid for it, and damn it I will use it as I wish.[/citation]
uh... hello, McFly... you buy another car that doesn't have the restrictions you dislike... there are many many other phones that do what everyone seems to want to do with them... buy one of those... the same holds true in cars... so your analogy holds no water...
