People jailbreak the iPhone to get around Apple’s greedy crapola. So this virus is a direct result of yet another magnificent screw-up job by one of the most overrated cults on the planet. I don’t see anyone “jailbreak” any mobile platform except this infamous piece of shit that so many bloggers, podcasters and pundits have hailed as the next best thing after the cure of cancer. Why does John only attack print newspapers? We put up with a formidable amount of crap from the online media, too.

Hmm, maybe because one does collect and dissect how these programs work. Creating an intelligent worm would be awesome. Again, others will always find ways to misuse it >_

I've once made a custom DOS program that you could select what the worm was programmed to do. Each of the tasks could be timed to go off but not necessary. It was my first forray into trying to see if I could somehow make the program learned.

I was actually pretty proud I got it working so good until a few years later there were timed-bombed viruses and such :/ not a pretty sight at all.

Good reason not to jailbreak your iphone. The iphone is locked down for a reason, a quality experience without having to worry like the Windows world does.

Many viruses are hobbies until someone uses them for ill. I use to write and collect such programs because I was mainly interested in AI. But as with most things, someone will always find new evil ways to use them.

An east european corporate network security stooge informed me that this virus is a toy. He ought to know, he writes them himself.
