All the while, I like my iPhone and satisfy with it. However, I decided to jailbreak it a week ago, see what a jailbroken phone can do. Now, I love my iPhone even more than ever! Now I got the world most advanced phone that can perform multi tasking, theme customization, directly sms reply and etc. All seem so minor and yet Apple didn’t allow users to do so.

Fortunate enough, I started the jailbreak before the releases of firmware 3.1.3. Up to date, there is no effective jailbreak software to use on iPhone 3GS yet.

What about the software?

That’s even the worst portion to be brought up. It is built on top of the iPhone OS. If I have a larger screen, I would actually expect the OS to be a slimmer version of Snow Leopard and not a giant version of iPhone OS.

Someone asked me to guess what the most expensive liquid is. My first attempt, oil, was wrong. So, I think might be some recently discovered precious liquid I don’t know. Guess what, the liquid is everyday items.

It is printer ink! WTF, I finally understand, why printers are so cheap, because printer manufacturers recover the cost from the printer ink! Don’t know why the graph using HP Black Ink. Does it really bloody expensive than human blood!?
