I think he did it just to allow it to connect up to the display equipment, it just might have been a spur of the moment decision and so it may have been the quickest / easiest solution.
But if you look at all the Apple keynotes (Macworld, WWDC, etc), of their live iPhone, iPad demonstrations, TV/Video out all seem to work as mirror mode. Even if you tilt the screen it automatically adjusts the orientation on the keynote. I think they should enable mirror mode on iOS.
It?s safe to say his contract with Apple is over. I wonder if he had it jailbroken before but kept it silent or didn?t risk losing a jailbroken phone that would become a huge media issue if found.
That video is great. I?ve received a few of those random messages from people, but have always just told them they had the wrong phone number. Unfortunately, even that doesn?t work all the time. Next time I think I?ll have some fun.
Well, that's going to help him get into more Apple ads.
If this is intended to be a well-written sarcasm, I agree with you.
How can one be the face of Mac, again, if one does not believe in their principles, right or wrong the principles may be.

I was with you until you got to the analogy part....
Comparing jail breaking your phone to going 100MPH in residential area or drinking and driving is just wrong......that is not any comparison at all.....
Its more like buying a new car then putting after market performance enhancements. It might void your warranty but it is perfectly legal. the car company has no obligation to fix or repair the improvements you made but they will repair anything you have not improved/enhanced......
I see. So they're keeping flash videos off the iPhone for my good? They're banning porn from the iPad to keep me safe?
That makes me sleep better at night.
Flash is kept off the iOS, if you can say kept off when Adobe hasn't produced a working version for the iOS that Apple has approved to date, due to the excessive battery usage of Flash. Not to mention that if Flash is on the iOS and causes system problems, most non-geek people will just see problems w/the OS and say the iDevices suck, when the fault lies with Flash.
Porn is not banned from the iPad. Porn is not sold in the App Store. You have this thing called a web browser. Knowing how quickly the porn industry tends to move, I'd be willing to bet many of them have converted to HTML5 to allow Apple products to view them. You can still load whatever porn videos you want on the iPad as well. So, no, Apple isn't banning porn from the iPad at all.
Even now it's hard to imagine. Apple, the rebels, dictating to it's users what software will be run on their devices. First the phone, then the iMaxipad, and soon the Appple TV. Some think Apple has lost their focus. I think they have lost their minds.
But you don't mind, do you? When the new iTV comes out you will buy it and watch whatever Lord Jobs tells you to watch. You will do whatever he says or else you will be attacked, as Justin Long will surely be by the AI community for daring to defy Lord Jobs..
Mindless slaves, defying Lord Jobs only to watch a martyr burned at the stake? Paranoid much? I now must have an ignore list.
If Apple wanted to make it so IOS couldn't be hacked at all, they could certainly waste allot of energy doing it, but Apple "prevents" jail breaking to the extent that it keeps "honest people, honest" to borrow a phrase.
Obviously Apple didn't dedicate massive resources to prevent jail breaking, and now "the government" says it's "ok" as well. Apple will never endorse it. Big deal. Some rebel you are if you want to be corporate sanctioned.
Who cares? Jail breaking is equivalent to removing the "do not remove" tag from your mattress.
You are most definitely free to do whatever you want. Jail break away! Install what you want! Apple doesn't want it to become standard practice nor do they want to support it. Do you really think they are responsible for a device that doesn't have "standard" software on it?
I hope you never use any Digidesign equipment. Their high end systems MUST be configured to spec; any changes to the configuration will essentially "void" the service agreement; potentially costing you a bundle. It's standard practice in many other industries and akin to what is referred to as "system of change" if I remember my process safety jargon accurately.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro last weekend (it was a tax-free holiday in MA) because my 2003 MacBook, which is still working (and so does my old second generation iMac), but my old MacBook is too slow for today's standards, and does not have certain capabilities that I need for a business project.
I was fortunate enough to have witnessed the birth of the PC, I used all sorts of computers for the masses: Commodore, Apple (before the Macintosh), and yeah those IBM manufactured Microsoft machines. While a student and during the few years after I finished, I even used computers that would not usually be encountered outside of research and educational institutions.
I even have to use DOS (before Win3), if you can believe that. It was painful expereince using to say the least, if one is not really into computers, and do not know exactly how to respond to that blinking "?", in case you forgot something. As it turned out, you might just have forgotten a comman or a period, to create a complete "computer statement". Such bliss in DOS kingdom!
From all this exposures, when I decided to buy my first computer, I opted for the classic square "unibody" Mac. Can you imagine 20Mb for its memory, you have to use those 5-inch floppy disks to do anything. But, at the time, it was among the best, for myself. It cost me $1,500 for the computer, and a 1,800 baud modem. That was the fastest speed then. [The internet, as we know it today was yet a pipe dream (I witnessed its birth too before Netscape came about in 1994).]
Over the years, at work, I used all sorts of computers, attached to the insttruments we used. However, I always bought a Mac computer since then, for personal use. Usually, I wait for the second generation, just to make sure that most of the technical kinks of the first generation have been addressed.
The $1,500 cost at the time, was a fortune for someone who was just starting work. Actually, it took me almost two years to save that, because it is too costly to live in Boston (Cambridge more specifically), expecially because I had a very low salary, and I even sent money home to my family.
But, as far as I am concerned, there was even no hesitation or doubt, the moment I saved up the money. I read the high school student who won a prize from Apple Apps, had to do all sorts of odd jobs, to buy his first Mac computer, and later on his own iPhone.
I share my experience and that of the high school kid because I want to ask you directly. Do you think I am just one of those under the spell and dictator of Steve Jobs?
If you can't say that of me, how can you make blanket accusations of people you never met, or are likely to meet, on what prompted them to buy an Apple product?
You start with your pompous statement:

Unless, of course, your goal is simply to flame. There are a few here who have similar perspective like you do. Why don't you form a special forum for your kind... and dazzle each otehr with your imagination and technical expertise and genius. As a group of similar persuasion, maybe, like Arrington (you read him, don't you?), you may come up with a product you can market to those who do not want to be dictated upon.
I love comments like this. I own my car. Can I do what I want with it?
Why, yes, yes you can. It might void your warranty, but that isn't the point. At all. Remotely.

And the manufacturer is free to make that decision. But, if they told you to only use their brand of gas or if they voided your warranty for using another service centre, you might feel they are being a little heavy handed. You would be free to do so, as long as you understood the consequences.

Or, alternatively, use it how you actually choose to use it. It might void your warranty, but that is the consequence of your choice. This really isn't about the warranty. Fo you honestly think Long was concerned about the warranty when he JB'ed his phone? really?
As echoed by others, the actual placement of these apps suggests a misrepresentation of the story by many sources reporting it. Regardless, at the end of the day, I wouldn't frown on the idea of someone promoting Jailbreaking anyway (unless it was specifically to pirate apps or something).
I see. So they're keeping flash videos off the iPhone for my good? They're banning porn from the iPad to keep me safe?
That makes me sleep better at night.
Not everyone wants to live in the world you are choosing. If you want or need porn everywhere you go on all of your devices, then get a frigging google phone! We the original apple fan folks never wanted people like you among us anyway! The true problem with success.......it often attracts the wrong element of fans! I knew things were going to shit when they sold the iPhone at Walmart- it allowed you to become a owner. That sucks for us.

Jailbreakers jailbreak for the fun and the challenge of it. The fact that Apple doesn't allow so many stuff makes it even more exciting for people to jailbreak..
What would a hacker do if all of a sudden all computers become open and security non-existent? What would they do if there's nothing to hack anymore? They'd all be working at McDonalds or some other career...
You think most hackers actually make a living from hacking?
Likely most (99.99%) make nothing (from hacking), let alone actually earn enough to make a living doing it.
I see. So they're keeping flash videos off the iPhone for my good? They're banning porn from the iPad to keep me safe?

Apple doesn't do it for you. They do it for the people who want a system that works instead if uber-geekiness.
And your facts are wrong. Apple isn't keeping Flash videos off the iPhone. Adobe has never released a version of Flash that runs - even on jailbroken iPhones. Direct your bitterness at Adobe.
And Apple doesn't ban porn, either. It's more akin to Walmart welling you a TV. They won't sell you the porn videos that you want to watch, but you're free to watch porn on your TV if you wish. Use your web browser, but stop whining because Apple has made a decision not to sell it.

So you bought a POS junkware cable that violates numerous patents - and then when it doesn't work, it's Apple's fault? Amazing.

I think he did it just to allow it to connect up to the display equipment, it just might have been a spur of the moment decision and so it may have been the quickest / easiest solution.
But if you look at all the Apple keynotes (Macworld, WWDC, etc), of their live iPhone, iPad demonstrations, TV/Video out all seem to work as mirror mode. Even if you tilt the screen it automatically adjusts the orientation on the keynote. I think they should enable mirror mode on iOS.
Probably some techie junior producer on the show's staff did it for him just for the video out.
Maybe...but isn't it sad that ot have functionality he had to jailbreak his phone?
On the other hand maybe he has the rest of his app icons hidden to keep what he has on his phone private?
That video is great. I?ve received a few of those random messages from people, but have always just told them they had the wrong phone number. Unfortunately, even that doesn?t work all the time. Next time I think I?ll have some fun.

Not everyone wants to live in the world you are choosing. If you want or need porn everywhere you go on all of your devices, then get a frigging google phone!

Elitist.
Jailbreakers jailbreak for the fun and the challenge of it. The fact that Apple doesn't allow so many stuff makes it even more exciting for people to jailbreak..
What would a hacker do if all of a sudden all computers become open and security non-existent? What would they do if there's nothing to hack anymore? They'd all be working at McDonalds or some other career...
You think most hackers actually make a living from hacking?
Likely most (99.99%) make nothing (from hacking), let alone actually earn enough to make a living doing it.
I see. So they're keeping flash videos off the iPhone for my good? They're banning porn from the iPad to keep me safe?
That makes me sleep better at night.
Apple doesn't do it for you. They do it for the people who want a system that works instead if uber-geekiness.
And your facts are wrong. Apple isn't keeping Flash videos off the iPhone. Adobe has never released a version of Flash that runs - even on jailbroken iPhones. Direct your bitterness at Adobe.
And Apple doesn't ban porn, either. It's more akin to Walmart welling you a TV. They won't sell you the porn videos that you want to watch, but you're free to watch porn on your TV if you wish. Use your web browser, but stop whining because Apple has made a decision not to sell it.
Well this came to my attention after I tried a 5$ China bought cable that didnt work with the message "Accessory not compatible with this device". The cable is fine, its block by the iOS.
So here I went to the AppleStore and bought a 50$ cable like a good boy.
So you bought a POS junkware cable that violates numerous patents - and then when it doesn't work, it's Apple's fault? Amazing.
Elitist.
It has nothing to do with elitism. Apple understands their market and caters to their market. If you don't fit into the core market and don't like the product, buy something else.
That's like whining that Ferrari doesn't make an 8 passenger SUV.

(emphasis mine)
is nothing but someone being an elitist asshole. Someone taking issue w/Blackintosh for some of the retarded stuff he says, no problem. This was simply someone's attitude about porn and those who view it coming out.
It is nice to know that there is one who believes that he is the one among the few who is rational and can be thoughtful. And proudly declares the synthesis of their musing in a board like this.
Everyone else must be like lemmings who follow everything that Steve Jobs tell them to do, including their ability to think rationally on their own.
Thank you very much. It's nice to have you for a fan.
