When's the damn iOS 4.1 jailbreak coming out?

imfallen_angel: Genju: Oh don't worry, I do say "I hate Windows" at least once a day at work. Usually has to do with it saying a file I want to delete is in use but then doesn't tell me what process is actually using it, or something along those lines.

Been using it for years.

If I can install that on my corporate machine I love you.

Glad to help...

That's the thing about Windows, for all the "missing" option, there's usually a freeware that covers it. It's knowing where it it, or how it's called that's the ex (I mean biatch).

A. I don't doubt it's fake

B. I would not take Apple's word for it.

Kinda like asking the governor of Illinois if he's corrupt - what the hell you think he's gonna say? What's apple going to say, 'yes, steve tried to big-time his way through security with some illegal ninja throwing stars so he got busted. Stay tuned'

Latinwolf: tender: Apparently the majority of you didn't you see the word 'gullible' written in the headline.

You're an iFan aren't you?

I use my brain, that's all. This story's sourced from SPA!, a tabloid. It certainly stirred up some hits for Fark et al, but Steve Jobs would never say, "I'll never return to Japan."

You sound like a very gullible person, Latinwolf. I demand to see your birth certificate.

what they're gonna do ? complain about it while sipping their $10 lattes ? post angry updates to their fabebook profiles from iPads ?

now, i dare japanese authorities to pull this kind of shiat on m00t. the /b/tards would go down on japan like there's no tomorow

Flakeloaf: Well to be fair, SOZ * SOY * SOX * . . . * AAB * AAA would take way too long to type out.

Wow. That took me way too long to work out.

/*Golf clap*

They do not pay the security People for their Brains. It is a good Thing they don't. If they did they would lose 100% of their Staff.

Contrary to common belief, those shuriken aren't deadly.

But they can still take out an eye.

Ninja's immune to Jobs reality distortion field.

So, basically, Steve Jobs was told he can't carry a weapon in the airport, same as everyone else, then allegedly through a fit about it because he's rich and has a private jet? And, somehow, I'm supposed to care? That about right?

FlashHarry: "Takeshi Uno, a spokesman at Kansai airport, said a passenger using a private jet was stopped at the end of July for carrying shuriken, the Japanese word for Ninja throwing stars."

he was stopped for carrying the word for ninja throwing stars?

Well, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword...

"Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs said he'll never return to Japan after officials at an airport barred him from taking Ninja throwing stars aboard his private plane, SPA! magazine reported in its latest issue."

In other news, we now know with certainty that Steve Jobs is a mammal. (new window)

zz9: He should have a word with Uma Thurman. She flew from Japan with a samurai sword with no problem.

/Tried to find appropriate Kill Bill pic but failed.

Historical artifact with proper (manufactured) clearances. Some things are too fragile for carry-ons and with the right paperwork you can still take just about anything on a plane.

(After all, it really was a Hatori Honzo sword.)

Fool shuriken where angels fear to tread.


"Can you do it??"

"Shuriken!"


Yes, I took liberties with pronunciation.

Eirik: just because you're in command or authorized doesn't mean you're sane.

Wise words - everyone remember this the next time you go to vote.

You know who else isn't allowed back in Japan....

/NP: "Temporary Secretary"

hej: In other words, he was barred from carrying weapons into the public area of the airport, not so much from carrying them into his own private plane.

Exactly. A non-issue.

MorePeasPlease: (11)As used in this section, a "shuriken" means any instrument, without handles, consisting of a metal plate having three or more radiating points with one or more sharp edges and designed in the shape of a polygon, trefoil, cross, star, diamond, or other geometric shape for use as a weapon for throwing.

These might not have edges.

You didn't expect it? it's all part of the joke that is fark:D

still, i'm mostly glad cause there were a few gems in this thread.

damageddude: Great. Now the Japanese are copying our brainless TSA workers. At least they'll be smaller and be able to go for longer periods without breaks.

Just FYI, TSA itself is doing the checks on all aircraft that leaves Japan for the USA, directly or otherwise.

fluffy2097: It's called FedEx Steve.

Use it. They do not give a shiat what you put in the package.

haha knew i would find you here:D

No sense of entitlement there. I mean all of us would just assume we could walk through a public terminal with a weapon these days right?

Mac users hack what? Most Mac users can't even figure out how to change the time and date without calling technical support.

I know I work in technical support. I just had a apple fan boy try to explain to me how Apple created .PDF file format and Adobe stole it. Guy didn't even know how to find a file after he saved it but he's an expert on all things Apple.

Although this thread's already full of derp, I thought I might just quote the only relevant paragraph from that article:

Takeshi Uno, a spokesman at Kansai airport, said a passenger using a private jet was stopped at the end of July for carrying "shuriken," the Japanese word for Ninja throwing stars and other handheld blades. The passenger, whom Uno declined to identify because of the airport's privacy policy, threw away the blades, he said. The airport doesn't have separate boarding arrangements for private-jet users, Uno said.

Could've been anyone with a private jet FFS. Maybe SPA! Magazine is a shiatty Japanese tabloid, and got a tip from someone at the airport, and thought they'd go full retard and lay it on Steve Jobs. I guess questioning the integrity of the source is too much to expect from fark? Although the Apple mouthpiece would of course say that it never happened, so all we can really know is some overpaid, egotistical jackass got a bit excitable at the airport because he couldn't carry on his shuriken. Non-story here folks... Although it was good for getting all the trolls and Apple-haters out of the woodwork.

Uh no, shuriken is the correct word... not ninja throwing stars. farking retards.

Further proof that Jobs is a real life Bond villain.

Those Ivy League liberal elitists think of everything.

MightyPez: The all black "shadow warrior" ninja was a product of kabuki theater. Kabuki used all black backgrounds so stage hands could move set pieces around and be largely ignored by the audience. Someone had the bright idea of representing a ninja in a play with one of those stage hands to appear to come out of nowhere and attack their opponent. And thus began the long road to pop culture ninjas doing back flips in black pajamas.

That's just what they want you to believe!

Forget about whether or not this incident actually happened. The point is Steve F$%& Jobs might have wanted to do something and might have been told no. You don't go there Japan. Steve Jobs will continue to sell to you but you don't go there.

wildcardjack: I'm Steve farking Jobs! I can take down your air traffic system with an iPhone app! I'll have your apps app'd until you app your app for an app!

Yo dawg, I heard you liked apps....

Damn it Mr. Jobs, next time put the ninja weapons in your suitcase and you won't have problems.

Yes, I am sure that it is not likely that you hijack your own plane, but...

1) Where do you draw the line between likely and unlikely to hijack a plane? Are we to expect the security people to memorize a lot of rules to this effect. And heck once these new flexible rules are in play some obvious exception will come up so the rules will need to become more complex. No weapons allowed is simple to understand and far easier to enforce than any alternatives.

2) A person might not hijack their own plane but, but they once past security they could give the weapons to someone who will hijack some other plane.

3) Actually the idea that no one will hijack their own plane might be dubious. If one decided to crash one's plane into a building, I doubt the regular paid pilot will cooperate. And that might mean a weapon is needed. Okay Jobs is not very likely to be the one to do it. But then again, if we really knew in advance which people were the bad guys we would not need searches, we would just arrest the bad guys and that would be it.
Damn it, I know that I won't hijack a plane so the rules should not apply to me. And very quickly the system falls apart.

I wouldn't worry about any steve jobs fans knowing how to hack, let alone how to use an actual computer.

More likely because some people don't care to bother with Windows and various hardware and software problems. But that was cool you raised your dork dick to show everyone how big it is.

I really don't understand all the hostility towards Macs and Mac users. Do you Windows users really *like* all those viruses? Do you *enjoy* having to worry that any web page you go to or any document you open or any email you receive could cripple your computer? Do you like having to buy upgrade after upgrade just to get your machine powerful enough to be worth hacking?

And why do you think we don't have real computers? These are Unix machines we're running, after all. I'm in Terminal all day long, remotely managing and upgrading my Macs.
