Hackulous is gone

Lets be honest, if Apple had made it legal he would have been showing us stats on how people who pirate buy more than people who dont, and how smart apple is for doing that.

If pirating was legal we wouldn't need to have this conversation in the first place, and the world's financial system would collapse.

I jb'ed my iPad to disable spotlight and the lock screen.

If you use a smart cover (or generic equivalent) you don't need to see the lock screen. You can also control what spotlight indexes from the preferences.

It lives next to my bed, no need for a cover. And I don't want spotlight, when I scroll left I want it to end on page 1.

The thing is those same Freeloaders would never buy the Apps anyway.

They would rather suffer through struggling with updates and not being able to upgrade their OS just to save a whopping 99c here and there. It's the type of people who moan about having to pay for Whatsapp even though it saves them hundreds if not thousands of rands compared to using SMS.

If the Jailbreak option wasn't available to them in the first place, they would never even have gotten an iPhone.


More bizarre is that in all my years since I first got my iPhone 3GS I haven't even spent a $100 yet. That's $25 a year if my rough calculations are correct...$2 a month.

That's not even lunch money.

No. I will never side with people that steal from Devs
 
On the topic of Lite versions though, I feel that Apple should force every developer to make a lite/demo/trial version of each and application that.

That will solve this entire "try before you buy" excuse problem.

No. If I don't want people to try my app before they buy, that is my right as the dev of the app

Incorrect. There are several jb tweaks I use that are far more important to me than "free" apps, which incidentally I have paid for, despite my phone being jailbroken.

But since they're too greedy, other people release it for them.

Thats great... but not helping with the pirating issue.

But yes, it is your choice.

Ahh, the self entitlement of software thieves.
If you don't give me what I want, I am justified in taking it for free
