I call bullshit. A cursory Google doesn't return any hits for Apple suing
people who jailbreak their phones, and I doubt you'll find _any_ reliable
reference saying that they are deliberately bricking jailbroken phones with
their updates.

So, references please.

As an aside, there is an incredible amount of FUD spread on this list.
Instead of concentrating on the cool innovations that are happening in the
open source community, half of the threads seem to be about how we are all
getting screwed by Apple/Microsoft/Google/etc.
