I think there's something wrong with your "z" key there.

I think i have an idea.

If they dont need or want money, why dont we send them other things.

Like bowls of fruit, or flowers. Baskets of kittens. Nice tasting yogurts. Maybe some sweets. some cloths shops vouchers.

I know id go for some kittens right now. I mean everyone likes kittens and whats better then being sent kittens for your hard work. Genius.

[iGuy]

My dog doesn't like kittens by all accounts. Oh, actually I think he does!

Errr, if any of my neighbours have lost a kitten it was nothing to do with my dog. He only eats Pedigree Chum.

[confucious]

If Money was an issue they would take Jody Sanders up on his offer of $10,000 - but as MuscleNerd says, he (Jody Sanders, not MN) has made many times that amount out of the Dev Team's work already.

That Jody Sanders, grrrrrr. *Shakes fist at Jody Sanders*


Bit confused, why would you use an example of someone making a lot of money out of something as a way to explain why you dont want to make money out of something.

I can understand why they dont take money tho. If someone(or lots of people in this case) pays you for something then they expect it very soon and will keep pressurizing you to produce the goods. Buy not accepting payment then they can keep their say in what they develope.

The reason they don't take donations is so they don't OWE anyone ANYTHING. They can work as they please. If they took donations there would be hundreds of thousand of people harassing them on a daily basis for results. Do you think they'd enjoy their work/hobby under that kind of undue pressure? For those that keep putting Geohot above the Dev team... Geohot is a programming genius... no questions asked. It's not a competition.. it's just a fact of the matter.

lol, you just said what i just said. Maybe a bit clearer tho.

The funny thing is there are people out there demanding a jailbreak/unlock. And they refuse to accept that it must be their own fault, not the Dev Team's fault. Not their own for buying a phone that can't be unlocked, not their own that they foolishly upgraded, not their own fault that they didn't know what to do.... What a bad Dev Team who have given so much...... Let's blame others without taking any responsibility for yourselves? Hmmm.

Hum donations don't mean you pay in order for them to work, it's just showing appreciation for the work ALREADY DONE.

I completely take responsibility for the fact that I knew what I was doing when I updated...never said it was someone elses fault.

But anyway I think the only reason the dev team isn't working on a unlock is because they simply can't do it. Geohot finds an exploit and makes a jailbreak/unlock in a couple of days that is easy to use. Geohot really is the man. He said he could unlock the phone in a day when responding to the $10k offer. Holy **** he's soon gonna be loaded. I don't know why the Dev team are the ones who people look up to.

I agree, unfortunately the majority of people dont believe that way.....and would expect something. Most people dont care about actually showing appreciation

The devteam gets HOUNDED from people upset about not having solutions, this would only magnify considerably with donations.
