Apple’s options for stopping open source iPhone use
,----[ Quot ]
| While Apple isn’t going to passively watch while others develop open-source
| programs for its devices, it isn’t clear how aggressively the company plans
| to go after hackers. Steve Jobs called the back-and-forth battle between
| Apple and hackers a “a cat-and-mouse game” where “people will try to break
| in, and it's our job to stop them breaking in,” but he didn’t give specific
| details on what the company planned to do.
