Agreement for Facebook Deactivation

Dad pays 14-year-old daughter $200 to quit Facebook.

A

father makes his 14-year-old daughter sign a contract that means for a mere $200 she will not be on Facebook for five months. He is paying in installments.If there's one thing young people truly understand, it's bribery.From their very formative years, parents bribed them to keep quiet, behave, wear appropriate clothing -- even, sometimes, desist from using rude words.

So it might seem utterly canny of Paul Baier, the vice president of a Massachusetts energy company, to find a veteran's method to get his daughter away from Facebook.

But this tale isn't quite so simple.
I am grateful to Daily Dot for revealing that Baier made 14-year-old Rachel sign a Facebook Deactivation Agreement, which he then posted to his own blog.What's deeply moving is that this blog's usual purpose is to offer deep discussions about sustainability.This makes one wonder just how much sustainability Rachel will have.Despite signing away the next five months of her life to be Facebook-free, the temptations upon her will be great.
Her friends may shun her. She may suddenly be regarded as not cool enough for school. This is enormous pressure to put on one at such a tender stage of her development.
Yet her signature -- in abnormally neat handwriting for a contemporary 14-year-old -- is there for all to see.What is also there for all to see is that she intends to use the $200 in order to buy "stuff."
Paul Baier's canniness stretches to the terms of payment.
Rachel has to show willing before she will even see a dime. Her first payment of $50 won't arrive until April 26. The remainder isn't due until June 26. I can think of many a contractor who would have balked at those terms.A recent study suggested that people are, quite naturally, tired of Facebook. And here's the twist. This wasn't dad's idea -- though I bet the binding agreement was. It seems that Rachel just got bored of Facebook. Paul Baier told the Daily Dot: "It was her idea. She wants to earn money and also finds Facebook a distraction and a waste of time sometimes. She plans to go back on after the 6 months is over." One can only hope that he will offer regular updates on how Rachel is filling up her Facebook time and what kind of "stuff" she intends to buy.When she finally gets some money, that is.

iOS 6 jailbreak utility released by Hackers

T

he latest jailbreak works for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models on iOS 6.0 through 6.1. Cydia's website appeared not to be working, the apparent result of a wave of traffic following the release of the jailbreak.

     Those looking to jailbreak their iOS devices can rejoice, since a new tool named Evasi0n has just been released by the Evad3rs team which allows for an iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak on almost all of the devices.
The jailbreak is the result of months of work by a four-man computer security research team called the "Evad3rs." They probed Apple's latest OS to find a string of vulnerabilities that would allow an untethered jailbreak, or one that can be installed without the device being connected to a computer.

     Jailbreaking is legal in the U.S. due to an exemption under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which forbids circumventing protections in place to prevent modification of devices. However, as of Jan. 26, it became a crime to to unlock phones to take them to a new carrier. Apple strongly discourages jailbreaking and can void warranties for devices that have been modified.

     A jailbroken iOS device can still use Apple's iTunes and App Store. Jailbreaking also lets you add software to unlock your phone from a mobile carrier's network and in some cases run it on another carrier's cellular network. In theory, the phone's existing functions are unchanged.

     Team Evad3rs was established earlier this year, combines some of the jailbreak community’s most talented developers: Nikias Bassen (Pimskeks), Planetbeing (David Wang), France-based Pod2g (Cyril) and Los Angeles-based MuscleNerd; all known for producing reliable jailbreaks in the past. This team was assembled in order to develop a reliable untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 for post-A5 devices, including the iPhone 5, the iPad mini and the latest-generation iPad. This has now been achieved with the just-released userland jailbreak tool, known as Evasi0n.

     How to jailbreak any iOS 6 device, including iPhone 5

The new tool is very simple to use -- in fact, it's easier to use than the iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak tool I covered last year. Taking far less time, and only a few steps, if you're comfortable clicking a few buttons on your computer and tapping an icon on your iOS device, you're more than prepared to use evasi0n.

     This tool is quite user friendly, yet we remind users not to update their devices over the air (OTA): instead download the latest iOS 6.1 firmware and update to it via iTunes or the standalone ISPW – to take full advantage of all the new features of iOS 6.1 with added benefits of jailbreak.
