Thanks to your desire to run any software you wish, you're finding security holes for Apple, free of charge.
Keep up the good work.

nah, /. implemented Hotmails ban of common passwords [slashdot.org] and "swordfish" is on the list...
as a more serious remark: no, I didn't expect a different outcome of the update. It seems that Apple is way too exposed, the [add color]-hat scene has a new interesting opponent - it is boring to hit guys already lying on the ground. But Apple fights like hell to keep their secrets secret, obviously irresistible for hackers.
This reminds me of the PS3 debacle: The system was attacked after Sony removed the playground "other OS", I believe that a more open approach for iDevices (like store-independent software installation) would decrease the breaking attempts.
