Of course its not jailbreak related. “They compiled it yesterday morning”.

No, this only applies to the 2nd gen. The third generation Apple TV is not jailbreakable at this point in time and most likely will not be for a long time if at all.

The ATV2 is like the iPhone 3GS and 4 in that it has an flaw in its Boot ROM that cannot be patched out. You still need to come up with code to actually jailbreak and untether but that attack vector is always there.

The ATV3 is not, and more like the iPad 2/3 and 4S where jailbreaks are software-based and reliant on a specific iOS version. On the ATV3 in particular this is incredibly difficult due to its cut-down iOS which limits what you can do — previous iPad 2 jailbreaks have relied on PDF handling in Safari and VPN configs in Settings.app, neither of which are present in the ATV3 software.

Yes, this is the first untethered 5.x jailbreak, not the first untethered jailbreak. ATV 4.2.x was untethered.

Sources suggest that Apple are not releasing a similar feature in iOS 6.

This has absolutely zero to do with “competing with Apple” and everything to do with the unauthorised use of one of Apple’s streaming protocols. Apps are more than welcome to implement their own.

In adding “Free App of the Week” and “Editors Choice”, they’ve removed “Game of the Week” and “Staff Favorites”.

Let’s hear it for the Google Update Alliance.

Oh, the content is ready. Just not the DRM and advertising to go with it.

I think iOS could do with a bit of a refresh, but I’m not sure what problem you’re trying to solve with removing the convenient (and more importantly, consistent) dock and useful and not terribly inconvenient-to-launch task switcher with a limited 4 item only combination.

Why is the ability to manually switch between 3G and Wifi at a moments notice more useful? How is that such a common use case that it requires valuable swipe-right real estate?

I’d be pretty pissed if my finger slipped or I otherwise accidentally launched an app, and the far-right icon that I intended to launch disappeared entirely and I had to scroll through a large number of pages to find it again. Even if you did replace the dock with an always-present task switcher, iOS shows you more than the last 4 icons for a reason.

No, it would make the life of a developer much harder because instead of having one dimension in common with older iPhones, you’d have none.

5 rows would/will fit just fine

Just fine? 1136×640 fits a 5th row exactly.

The spacing of each row of icons on an iPhone Retina display is exactly 176 pixels. 114 pixels for the icon, 62 pixels spacing.

Add 176 pixels to the current height of 960 and you get…1136.

Skype runs perfectly on the iPhone 3GS and iPad with 256MB RAM — and in the background, too.

Some people have a hard time believing in climate change, evolution, the moon landing, or that the government wasn’t responsible for 9/11, what’s your point?

Samsung have shown time and time again both that they believe Apple’s claims are baseless and that they’re willing to invest time and money to keep fighting. Changing the design to appease Apple would kind of undermine their argument.

What’s more likely, that they redesigned their phone to appease Apple while spending millions in court to argue otherwise, and then lied about it? Or that a biased Android fansite is looking for an excuse as to why the much-hyped Galaxy S III was disappointing to many, particularly in the looks department?
