5. TUAW has become TUAIUW. Sad to see.

6. There is so much confusion regarding the term bricking and the iPhone. Some think it means unactivated, others think it means inoperable. Personally, I think it should mean the latter. I had an unmodified iPhone bricked 2 days after installing 1.1.1. All it would do is freeze immediately after starting up. It wouldn't respond to any touches after the home screen appeared. I reset, restored and everything. Apple had to replace it, not repair it. That, in my book, is bricked.

7. *sigh*

I thought eventually that the staff at TUAW would listen to the majority of its readers and stop accepting Erica's banal and senseless iPhone hacking posts.

Remarkably, the staff is accepting even more of them.

Even more, the quality of the non-iPhone hacking posts is lamentable.

Well, I have had enough.. I shall not be coming back to read TUAW.

To others, like me, who are looking for better alternatives, I offer the following sites:

daringfireball.net
macsurfer.com
macminute.com
macdailynews.com
macworld.com
macuser.com

Ta!

10. Erica has been doing a freakin' great job covering this and deserves some props.

Thanks!

11. Even though I'm still working fine on 1.0.2, I unlocked with iUnlock and IPSF claims to fix the problems caused by this method... I'm tempted to buy it.
I'll probably just wait for IPDev to come out with theirs.

Oh and thanks TUAW for providing one of the main repositories of up-to-date info on how things are proceeding.

To the whiners.... skip what you don't like reading- or- die in a fire.

12. Funny how the iphone enthusiasts don't complain about the non-iPhone blog entires :)

Thanks Erica!

13. How can you have a how to hack post without mentioning Terminal? Step one to hack is to open terminal, of course!

14. Well, I don't own a Mac capable of running Leopard so I don't want to see any Leopard related blog postings. Since I don't care nobody else should either.

15. #7: "the majority of its readers"? What, the subset of whiny people in the subset of people who leave comments? That doesn't sound like a majority to me.

16. Just adding my thanks to Erica Sadun for her iPhone posts. I love TUAW mainly because of Erica. Keep posting, Erica!! Because of Erica, TUAW is arguably the finest source in the world for iPhone news.

17. Erica- you rock. This is a great glossary (I know you didn't intend it to be a how-to).

I am a long-time Mac user, yet only an occasional visitor to TUAW. For me, this is not about hacking (I was willing to switch to AT&T;).

To me, this is about unleashing the full potential of the iphone as a mobile Mac. For every one of the whiners TUAW may lose (yet they still continue to while :-/) you'll gain someone like me. I visit TUAW many times a day, and your RSS feed on my Toolbar!

18. @ #7
Funny how the majority of comments are in praise of the topic and the minority are the now-oft-referred-to-as whiners. That should tell you something. Frankly, it's quite naive for you to think that the staff is not looking at how many views these topics about the iPhone are getting. I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that the stories relating to iPhone are getting way more views and comments than anything else on the site. If you don't like it, here's a thought for you: don't read the article.

19. Tto be honest, the iPhone hacking stories are one of the only unique features of TUAW. There are many indistinguishable Mac blogs which all cover the same news. The fact that the cranky commenter could rattle off 5 of them is evidence of that. (I exclude Daring Fireball, which provides interesting commentary, in an entertaining, cranky uncle sort of way.)

TUAW has found a novel angle and should run with that. Fighting for readers by being the same as every other blog is pointless. If anything, I'd vote for less of the standard Mac coverage. (Who gives a crap about the latest security update for Microsoft Office, or another Apple store opening up?!) I have an RSS reader for a reason, and can subscribe to other sites if I'm not getting enough of the usual Mac news fodder.
