Apple Promotes ‘Illegal’ Jailbreaking App

Perhaps it’s just another indication we truly live in Opposite World, but it seems odd, at best, to find a link to QuickPWN on Apple’s website.

After all, the company has made it abundantly clear it believes the practice of jailbreaking an iPhone or iPhone Touch should be deemed illegal.

Apple is involved in a very public fight with the Electronic Frontier Foundation over the matter and there are obviously many many dollars at stake.

So, yes, odd. Then again, it’s a big company…

    It’s strange that Apple block some apps for extremely odd reasons and at the same time “miss” things all the time that they go back and remove later on. I think they are more interested in copyright infringement and bandwidth usage than actual content.

    If that was indeed an actual page, it is no longer available with the link provided. Someone must of realized it and removed the page.
