ARR and Mac

[ispano]

What programs has Apple slipped into the iTunes install?

What hardware do they lock down?

How do they treat your hardware as their own?

Apple's own comment on jailbreaking mentions none of this. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

1. Safari, MobileMe and there was another. Safari however was the big one because they abused the Security Updates feature of auto installing to push it, so if you had Security Updates set to auto install, you magically ended up with Safari.

2 and 3. All their hardware. They only want you doing what they want you doing with their hardware. It's currently legal to Jailbreak an iPhone, but Apple still tries to stop people from doing it. If someone wants to modify a device they bought, let them. If they go do something illegal beyond that, then Apple can bring the hammer down.
