A Reminder

OK, now, just a thought. This item concerns a report of a virus that wipes out data on 'jailbroken' Apple iPhones (that is, iPhones that have been unlocked to allow applications from outside Apple's App Store to be installed). Now, let me ask, of all the people in the world, who would have the most incentive to create a virus that attacks iPhones that have broken the bond with the App Store? And who would be uniquely qualified to write a virus that targets just those iPhones? I don't want to make any accusations, but I do want to observe that corporations have a long history of using viruses and malware to get their way.
