So those who seek to profit from the platform Apple has built... will have to pay Apple for the privilege. Oh, the horror!

from tfa: That application allows a hacker to decrypt the Nokia 1100's firmware, Becker said. Then, the firmware can be modified and information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number can be changed as well as the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number, which allows a phone to register itself with an operator.

Uh... this ability is hardly unique to this device, I have a feeling there's something else they're not telling us.

You mean the best-in-class, not-trying-to-be-SLI GPU configuration that *right now* you have to log out and back in to change? The "thing", platform really, that didn't officially exist until Apple announced them before NVidia did? Its not like there's a major OS update in the works or anything...

I find it hard to take anyone seriously who is unable to tell the difference between AFS and AFP, or lacks the copyediting skills to catch their mistake.

Sure, I can be compelled to provide the passphrase in court, but a dose of 256-bit AES keeps it on the down low to tools like this.
