On Jail-breaking iPhones

I’ve always found it amusing when Apple and the world’s hackers play the cat-and-mouse game. Hackers release a jailbreak tool every time Apple release an incremental update to iOS. Apple then plugs it by releasing yet another incremental update. Can we stop this madness? I’ve never fully understood why iPhones need to be jail-broken in the first place! I read a recent article about Limera1n — a jailbreak tool — released to “open” up iPhones running the latest iOS software. Uh hello, I don’t want to open up my iPhone. There’s nothing compelling for me to do once it’s “opened” up. So fly a kite.
