that's not right, developers work real hard to provide us with this great free software and people just go and make money from it saying its their software.

Awesome, but after going to ebay and looking around... there's 17000 of the things, I just don't understand why people are so damn greedy. I mean really. It's free because the developer wants it to be, who are they to put a price on it? Originally Posted by Eurisko

people are easily taken for their money on ebay...so thats what people do...they use it to their advantage....i am not sticking up for them but there are always a few bad apples i guess you could say....like the people listing their xbox 360 box on ebay.....they were literally selling the empty package that the xbox 360 came in...and it actually stated that in the auction description....although i am sure the guy didn't mention that the software he was selling was free....people need to be better educated before they buy on ebay...just like the motorola bluetooth music headset that is labeled in the title "for iphone"....i guess we all know how that would work out if you paid the 60 or 70 bucks for them.

That's a damn shame but it's expected because that's just human nature. Hopefully sooner than later Eurisko ,p.s could sum1 kick that guy in the balls(wishful thinking)

What would be funnier is if this guy just emailed you the link to Ziphone's download page. The really sad part is that people will buy this, in droves because they really are that ignorant.

And it will be like a taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream! Springboard screwy after reboot? Here is the fix

03-11-2008, 01:04 PM #19Zibri would be in quite a pickle, because ZiPhone has a bunch of copyrighted code from Apple, so copyrighting it would just get him sued by Apple, not to mention the dev team since they made the exploit while he posted random strings of code from IDA in the private dev channel.

Well....while I DO think it is greedy to sell ZiPhone on eBay, I really have low tolerance/pity
level for people that are STUPID enough to buy it. There's a sucker born every minute, so
more power to whomever takes advantage of them. (must be Republicans)
