avoid |əˈvɔɪd|
verb [ trans. ]
1 keep away from or stop oneself from doing (something) : avoid excessive exposure to the sun | the kind of place that Robyn would normally have avoided like the plague.
• contrive not to meet (someone) : boys lined up to meet Gloria, but avoided her bossy sister.

• prevent from happening : make the necessary adjustments to avoid an accident.
2 Law repudiate, nullify, or render void (a decree or contract).

New Oxford American Dictionary He was actually, technically, correct. When talking about a warranty, you "avoid" the warranty when you violate it. It means, as the second definition clearly states, that you have voided the contract (which a warranty is, as discussed earlier in the thread).


No, they are simply facts. Please go read a bit then come back. If you have some actual information to 'refute' what I said, feel free.


Agreed.


You've already had a law student weigh in in this thread. There are a number of property-related counts on which successful charges could be brought and a number more that could be used to instill the fear of God in these childish individuals. You don't need an attorney who specializes in these matters, it's a pretty straightforward case of destruction of property (of which vandalism is a type) and trespassing due to their exceeding their license to use the property (their license, quite obviously, did not include a 'right' to destroy property).


See the second definition of "avoid", supra.

As the person making the claims in your initial post, the burden of proof is on you.

Looking forward to seeing your sources.

Teenage misfits are not of legal age to enter into a contract concerning licensing agreements. It is such a minor offense anyway, nobody is going to waste their efforts on even contacting their parents. Just part of doing business. Apple isn't losing any sleep over this. It just ups the coolness factor of Apple products in that age demographic anyway.

As far as epub is concerned, you can use inDesign to create your own epub documents without restrictions. You might want to look into acquiring this desktop AppleScript 'ePub Zip 1.0.2'. It allows you to make quick edits to your css files without having to republish through ID. Good luck on your adventure into programming, it is a fun ride.

First of all, I am NOT you.

You wouldn't happen to be my long lost cousin, would you?

I'm just asking as my long lost cousin is an a$$hole who likes to act like an attorney and thinks he is the authority on everything.

As to the post I made, it was a jest, i.e. a play on words. Perhaps you need to spend less time articulating your responses and more time bidding on a sense of humor on eBay.

Damn, girlfriend. You didn't have to go all "Oxford" on me.

As much as I love doing your research for you, here:

Happy reading.


You seem to have misinterpreted "license" (much like a number of people earlier in the thread and the word "avoid").
When I said "license" I meant the business owner's consent to enter and use its property (the owner in this case is Apple). When you proceed to damage or tamper with Apple's property, your license has been exceeded and is no longer valid (effectively, it's been revoked, even retroactively in some cases). Therefore, you no longer have a license to use the property and are a trespasser.

Evidence the jailbreak caused the brick not their stupidity-bricking a phone is IMPOSSIBLE from a jailbreak- I M P O S S I B L E - you are misinformed - REMEMBER 90% of consumers are morons in regards to diagnosing their problems with their electronics, computers and personal health - become a developer-then come back and say that - then you'd be an outright liar.

I do agree that it is vandalism in regards to what was done in the store-and probably not a jailbreaker-probably on the side of the jailbreak haters or an inside job. Jailbreakers do not tell everyone with an iphone to jailbreak. They do not want to hack you. Most do not steal apps (mostly an overseas thing). They do it to their own iphones that they pay for. It is legal. It is geeky and only geeks should apply.

Honestly I don't understand why a non-jailbreaker would even have an opinion beyond their own personal view that it's just "not their thing"-I have only seen a couple of intelligent non-jailbreak statements.

It's like gay marriage-two guys wanna get married - who's business is it really? It's between them. Not for you you say-well ok-don't marry someone of the same sex-Gay people don't want you to marry someone other than the person you want. Is their getting married going to mess up marriage as an institution? NO. It will help build it.
Jailbreaking brings to light things that Apple may be missing-OS4 introduces ideas and features bought to light by the jailbreak community which is mostly a great bunch of guys-geeks. We need each other-stop being so gullible to propaganda, trolls, and outright insane nonsense. It gets old.

Now jailbreakers-enjoy your jailbroken iphone and be happy.
Non-jailbreakers-enjoy your factory non-jailbroken iphone. and be happy.

later-

Makes me think back to the history of Apple's founders. Not sure what 'fun' Jobs used to have, but Woz was more than happy to have this kind of fun.

No one's been harmed by this, and no one is too out of pocket - maybe Apple employees have to reset the display phones a little more often, but that doesn't seem too serious compared to say phone phreaking in a historical perspective, and certainly very small beans compared to some modern hacking. It does however draw attention to the security flaw in iOS that will hopefully make Apple fix it a little quicker, and maybe make them test a little bit more in future.

Appears to be wa-A-ay more complicated, than just ``using my hardware how I see fit' '.

I'm with you on this. Unlike many of the posters on this story, at least they have a sense of humor.
