The Datacenter is one of those places where it just works sometimes... and usually when I really / really/ want it to work. > What smart phone do you loath and why? Jailbroken iPhones. Yes, it is neat that you can run your own apps and have your little victories against the Man, but when it comes down to it, you're now the lucky owner of a mobile security responsibility. You now have to handhold your handheld, keep it up to date and ticking, as opposed to those of us who just use things the way they're designed and when bad things happen, we have a reasonable place to point the finger. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/11/dutch-hacker-holds-jailbroken-iphones-hostage-for-5.ars "Dutch hacker holds jailbroken iPhones "hostage" for €5" I have had 'hackery' and 'works well enough for now' beaten out of me in this job, both by co-workers and by experience. ;) -- Dan Wood, ipHouse Customer Service Phone: 612-337-6340 Hours: M-F 8am-8pm
