Wow, this is one of the most short sited and close minded responses I've ever
seen.
That's like saying everything the Government says is true or police are here to
help all the time.
Lets take it from the top.
Tweaking, taking things apart and curiosity are some of the most basic
traights. If you don't have that you've missed out on one of the most key and
fundamental parts of the human experience.
I spent many an hour with my father as a child taking things apart,
learning how they worked and even sometimes putting them back together. You
could never put a price on the value of that time. My career today directly
hindges on the fact that my interests in electronics and things technical were
stimulated from an extremely early age.
Next, who the hell is anybody to say that something I've bought isn't mine to
do with as I please. Apple entered in to a deal with me, I gave them money and
they gave me a device. If I wish to use that device as a coaster I should be
able to. If I want to pop it open and see how it works I should. If I buy a
windows phone and I want all the features enabled that's my choise because I
paid for it not some carrier or manufacturor so I'm unlocking the boot loader
and fixing the problems. If you sell me a CDMA device and leave open the
ability to edit the access over load class so my calls have the same priority
as the president or emergency responders and I figure that out, that's your
fault not mine for using a feature made available to me.
Your position is an immoral one. It's wrong to sell me something then tell me
what I can do with it. If you want that sort of deal lease it to me then.
That way, I don't own it, you preserve your property and IP rights and I have
to play by your rules, else get out of the way of my experimentation.
