I wish you would have spoofed the "if you don't have an iPhone, well you don't have an iPhone." I thought that ad was grasping for straws.

lmfao, I agree with you.

@TalesOfWar actually Apple tries to stop the JB via the last article of believing Apple infiltrated the JB community. They tried to make it illegal but lost.

The first time I saw that Apple AD on TV I almost involuntarily had the reaction of, "technology out of the way?!" but, I understand where Apple is coming from. Sadly (I emphasize that) there are an astounding amount of people, tumultuous too, who look at a computer or any modern day technology as something that is esoteric and they openly refuse to learn the workings of it. So you gotta give Apple the credit to playing towards the lay user. Anyway, good and funny and true video!

@iMhike That's the thing that gets me. Apple don't necessarily lock you out of being able to change things. They seem to tolerate the jailbreak community so long as it isn't used to break the law (like using it to get free pirated apps). On the Mac you have terminal, which is about as "open" as you can get for fiddling without going to the code level and rewriting it like with Linux (even then Linux is controlled). I hate this idea that if something is simple, it's less capable or for retards.

@bamdadkhan It doesn't really lock you in, most choose to stay there rather then get forced. With apps maybe, but there's more than enough for people's every need (more or less), so it's not like it's limiting your choice there. You can load your iDevices with music and other media from places Apple have nothing to do with, they don't stop you from doing it. Pretty much all the music on my iDevices is from CD's. Plus, I like the garden, it's a nice place to be lol.
