      Oh, don't worry. You'll see when it's released (or beta tester perhaps?). And, yes indeed! Many learning experiences to be had on this project! I'll hopefully be using it as my A2 computing project, so that'll be fun.

      Possibly... I have a couple of projects (games) sitting on my MacBook, but neither of them were the products I've always wanted to make (if you remember them?). And they aren't particularly impressive.

      If I was to release either of the games I have currently built it wouldn't be one that I feel would have potential to be useful to people. It would simply to get a feel for the ecosystem, possibly generate a small amount of revenue and add some lines to my personal statement - also it'd be pretty gnarly. And I don't believe those are good motives to create/release software, except for the last one, that is.

      So, in answer to your question, it's possible we could be, but I'm not sure I want to.

      But I am starting work on the second project I mentioned a while back. I'm sure I will meet many, many hurdles on my way to completion, but I've met a fair few so far and have managed to overcome them just fine (I believe it's called "learning", it's pretty rad).

      I did one, like, last week. I'll try and think of something. Anything you'd like to see in particular?

      I remember my Twitter bio containing "Lover of Apple products" at one point.

      I have said it jokingly (in the form of a #tag in a Tweet) and maybe seriously many years ago. But I class my 14-year-old version and my current self as two completely different, independent beings.

      I don't think I ever used the term "fanboy". I'm a (big) fan of their quality of products, but I won't defend them irrefutably, which I believe to be the definition of a fanboy.

      So, I don't think I ever did. But, if I did, I certainly don't now.

      I do plan on it, probably as soon as it's available. I am really tempted to do a clean install. I probably will, it'll just be a bit of a hassle to transfer everything back over... I'll think about it.

      On the way to/from school, moving from the main school building to the 6th form one, when we're out for lunch, when we're going to the shop to get snacks and whatnot.

      That's on a weekday.

      If 3G is on and WiFi becomes disconnected, 3G is activated immediately. But, if you switch 3G on it takes a while to 'fire-up'. Basically, I think that 3G is activated too quickly after WiFi disconnection for it to be a cold boot.

      I must admit, the reasons are getting very scarse and I'm happy that Apple are starting to <del>steal</del> implement some of the things people jailbroke for (and clearly wanted) in iOS (e.g., multitasking, better notifications etc.).

      But I still see reasons. They may seem very trivial but seeing as they have few to no negative effects on the phone, I still like having them.

      I am still jailbroken for: 3G tethering at no extra cost, access settings from wherever I am (usually toggling 3G), better notifications and quick reply text messages (reply from anywhere, including my springboard).

      As for performance, it was greatly improved with iOS 4.2, so that's alright. Jailbreaking the phone itself does not noticeably affect the performance at all. It's the apps and tweaks install thereafter that can make things slow. But, I've never been one for the flashy themes and suchlike, so I just have the few add-ons that I need and nothing more. So, in short, performance isn't compromised very much whatsoever.

      In fact, there is a modded version of iOS 4 designed to enhance performance on the older iOS4-capable devices. I believe it's called whited00r and i've heard pretty good things about it.
