I've got a small pile of promotional watches for various companies, but I prefer my "proper" watch.

""Jailbreak" is the term used to describe circumventing the digital rights management (DRM) technology on a cell phone so that the user can install third-party applications not authorized by the phone's maker or the mobile carrier.

Is that also covered by the last few seconds of a Flash video on Apple's Web site? Are you trying to say one may not watch television without HDMI? Don't you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself? I ask for information only.

No thanks. I want to use Flash media and software directly, not after conversion, and I don't want to be troubled to look for alternative sources of content in a format other than Flash. >>> They do not require DRM anything to play >>> media. >> >> So what does "jailbreaking" mean again? > > jailbreak allows any software to run, including malware (there's > already a couple for jb'ed phones). it has nothing to do with drm.
