Chris also reveals a special, secret ninth step, talks about some of his personal experiences, the surprising reaction to the article, and how it has started some positive conversations about online behavior. Are sequel articles on the way? Chris contemplates some ideas.

iPhone expert Ted Landau tackles, yet again, the subject of jailbreaking your iPhone. Why again? Because the situation keeps changing. Ted explains why you may or may not be able to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, especially if you just bought it, two apps that Ted especially likes that require jailbreaking, and just how much risk is involved in the process…at the moment. Ted talks about Apple’s holiday line-up of hardware, iMac screen sizes, and why he still wants a mini-tower.
