They are giving them official permission to make an unlocker for WP7. The ChevronWP7 team can do whatever they want. Now obviously since they're official and are developing software full time they need to cover the server and labour costs. So they need to charge money - as they said, it's a fee to cover the costs.…

That's actually a really neat idea.

Couldn't you just hit it like a drum? It would still be "sound waves". Or does it have to be the audible kind?

You don't need a rooted phone. You can sideload apps without a rooted phone, making for much easier pirating. (Shamed pirater here)

Hey, Android is open source Linux, and it did quite well with Joe Schmoe. But let's face it, it's sad such a good looking device not take advantage of the form or functionality of Mango. And just when it was starting to get well support and developed, too!

Oh come on, knowing a guy who's "seen it upclose" and thinks it looks good doesn't make you informed or educated. And you're just as biased and subjective as the author. Besides, what did the author say about Meego? Nothing. Just that he doesn't care for it. He didn't say it was good or bad, pretty or ugly, or…

I understand what you're saying here but you have to understand that a DDoS attack is SO MUCH DIFFERENT from actually HACKING a website. They aren't circumventing any security measures, or exploiting any flaw in the system. There is no point of a DDoS attack other than to wreak havoc. I can support the few cases of…

Within 5 years? I hope that means a variation of 2.5 year on average, like 25 - 30, rather than a variation of 5 years on both sides. It's not very useful to know someone's between 30-40 years old.

@scottiescott23: Where does that statistic come from? That's VERY scientifically incorrect. The human eye doesn't see in frames at all.

Not to mention bronze, silk, the compass, paper, etc

You're missing the point of the news... the point isn't that Microsoft is squeezing your wallet, it's that they're finally giving their approval to the jail-breaking and homebrew community. Besides, the ChevronWP7 website states that "The service will require a small fee — currently via PayPal — to offset costs", so…

It is as easy as Jailbreaking an iPhone, but I've hesitated to do so on my Windows phone because I didn't want something to go wrong. I would totally pay a few bucks (as long as it's not a totally outrageous fee) for a Microsoft approved jailbreak.

*raises hand*

Looks like target practice to me.

It may be because people of Asian and African descent have more melanin in their body. Hence the darker hair colour and dark skin (in some cases). Melanin absorbs UV light.

The sad thing is - I originally thought that the guys was actually holding a really big gun. I just realized when you pointed this out that it was the tank barrel...

So you didn't READ the article?

Heheh, it dropped a ball at the 1 minute mark :D

There was 5 but it dropped one on the 1 minute mark :P

Butthurt over the fact that Android gets it first...
