Hilarious. So iOS 6 users still can't do much with their devices even after all this time. The Android dev community looks so much better after this.
Ummm, really?
That's quite arrogant. Most people never believed them.
I, myself, checked the website. Mostly to laugh and further label it as fake, but because I was looking to buy, support or believe it.
But that kind of post does lead me to believe that this website was somehow partnered with an existing dev member.

Don't kid yourself, plenty of people believed it. And he's right, if it went on sale there would have been plenty of buyers getting ripped off. If this was an exercise to make people more aware of the dangers of blindly buying something unproven and possibly dangerous then he/they succeeded. Though I'm still not 100% convinced that that's what this was.
Exactly. The whole thing was a cautionary tale to only trust well established JBers like the Dev team?!
Seems like an inside job, who else cares that much about making the Dev team look awesome other than the Dev team??
Really? 20K followers in the scheme of total iOS userbase isn't that large. And I can tell you myself I visited the page multiple times. Having random websites falsely report it as an actual jailbreak, also really drove up website impressions.
If you read the conversations and commenting tweets in response to @DreamJailbreak, nearly all of them were calling it out as fake ... even before the devs got involved or the video was released.
So let me get this straight. A member of the dev team spend considerable time and energy on a fake jailbreak instead of working on the real thing?
The jailbreak scene ain't what it used to be. I always thought Musclenerd was considered the 'mature' one, he seemed to stay out of all the petty fights :/.
Of course this is assuming he was actually behind it.

They're free people, they can do what they want. They don't owe people a jailbreak :/
How is you and some of the others believing that MuscleNerd is responsible for this any different than the 20-30 thousand who got scammed by the DreamJB ?
The gullibility of some never ceases to amaze me. I guess it's lesson not learned.
Lolz... not even something like f.lux, which would be essential for nighttine reading / iPad using. Silly, unnecessary restrictions abound. Not even hardware video decoding can be used in AppStore apps.

Thus the keyword "if."
The inability for some to understand context clues never ceases to amaze me.
Guess I don't use my iPad like that. Nighttime reading, I just turn brightness down to zero and browse away.
Still, blue light (which f.lux essentially filters out if you use a warm filter) aren't the best to watch when, later, you do plan to sleep. And the iPad's backlight LED's, as with the LED backlight of most LCD screens, emits plenty of blue light, resulting in a significant decrease in the generation of melatonin.
I saw the "if"
Just the idea that some entertain this as reasonable seems unbelievable after so many of the same people were just face palmed by DreamJB
At least he didn't ****** us...
