 <title><![CDATA[US government legalizes iPhone 'jailbreaking,' unlocking]]></title>
 <link>http://www.mohammadi.ca/index.php?itemid=512</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The U.S. government on Monday announced new rules that make it  officially legal for iPhone owners to &quot;jailbreak&quot; their device and run  unauthorized third-party applications. In addition, it is now acceptable  to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.</strong><br /> <br /> According to <em>The Associated Press</em>, the government approved a handful of new exemptions  to a federal law that prevents the circumvention of technical measure  that prevent users from accessing and modifying copyrighted works. The  report noted that every three years, the Library of Congress&#39; Copyright  Office authorizes exemptions to ensure existing law does not prevent  non-infringing use of copyrighted material.<br /> <br /> In addition, another exemption was approved that would allow all cell  phone users to unlock their device for use on an unapproved carrier.  Currently, Apple&#39;s iPhone is available exclusively through AT&amp;T, but  unlocking it can allow for voice calls and EDGE data speeds on rival  carrier T-Mobile.<br /> <br /> Other exemptions announced Monday allow people to break protections on  video games to investigate or correct security flaws; allow college  professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy  protection measures on DVDs to embed clips for educational purposes,  criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos; and allow computer  owners to bypass the need for external security devices (dongles) if the  hardware no longer works and cannot be replaced.<br /> <br /> The warranty-voiding jailbreak process allows users to run software not  approved by Apple, which has no plans to allow users to install  third-party applications downloaded from outside its sanctioned App  Store. Hackers have created their own custom applications -- many free,  and some for purchase from an alternative storefront known as Cydia.<br /> <br /> Apple has been criticized  for its strict control over the iPhone App Store, requiring that all  applications be approved before they are made available for download.  The company has defended this practice, stating that it keeps faulty and  potentially dangerous software from being made available, as well as  banning unsavory content such as pornography.<br /> <br /> In April, Jobs cited an unsanctioned pornography store  available for the Google Android platform as a reason to not support  unsigned applications. &quot;That&#39;s a place we don&#39;t want to go,&quot; Jobs said,  &quot;so we&#39;re not going to.&quot;<br /> <br /> In addition to allowing access to legitimate third-party software, both  free and paid, through services like Cydia, jailbreaking can also be  used to pirate App Store software, one major reason why Apple has fought the practice.<br /> <br /> Hackers have been hard at work  on jailbreaking iOS 4 since it was released in June. Though the iPhone  3GS and iPhone 3G have been exploited, the iPhone Dev Team has continued  their efforts toward both jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhone 4. With  Monday&#39;s decision by the U.S. government, their efforts are now  considered legal. 										 										</p><p>Source: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/07/26/<br />us_government_legalizes_iphone_jailbreaking_for_unauthorized_apps.html <br /></p>]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[Why do golfers shout 'fore' during a golf game?]]></title>
 <link>http://www.mohammadi.ca/index.php?itemid=506</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p><font size="2"><img src="http://www.mohammadi.ca/media/1/20100110-golf.jpg" border="0" width="501" height="208" /></font></p><p><font size="2"><br />&#39;Fore&#39; basically means watch out, a ball is heading in your direction. Most of the time, once you hear it, there is not much you can do anyway unless you are brave enough to look up into the sky to find the ball heading your way. <br /><br />The following are some explanations of where the term came into existence. <br /><br />1.Because golf balls were expensive, golfers employed &lsquo;Forecaddies&rsquo; to stand where the ball might land and reduce the number of lost balls, as is done in tournaments today. In 1875, Robert Clark mentions that Andrew Dickson performing this role for the Duke of York in 1681 and describes it as &ldquo;what is now commonly called a fore-caddie&rdquo;. It is probable that golfers called to their &ldquo;Forecaddie!&rdquo;, who would always be some distance ahead to draw attention to the fact the ball was coming and, in time, this was shortened to &ldquo;Fore!&rdquo; The almost contemporaneous appearance of the terms caddie, fore-caddie and fore! supports this theory over the others.</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /> 2.A second explanation derives from the military battle craft of musket days, when rank after rank would fire fusillades, some over the heads of those in front. It was speculated that the term Fore! might have been used to warn those in front to keep their heads down. Modern historians pour cold water on this theory, partly because it is difficult to relate it to a Scottish golf connection and partly because the relevant military terms used do not appear to be connected. However, this theory may in fact be a misunderstanding of the theory below.</font></p><p><font size="2"><br /> 3.There is a third explanation, which appears utterly implausible, but which is an outside possibility. It derives from a story told by John Knox (1505?-1572) the &lsquo;hellfire&rsquo; protestant reformer. He tells the tale, as only &lsquo;hellfire&rsquo; preachers can, of someone arriving at the East Port (east gate) of Leith. <br /></font></p>]]></description>
