I totally agree.
No more crap. Just one hack per day. Got two good ones? Keep one for the day after.
Only exceptions should be articles about hack related events, which could be posted on the same day as a hack.

This garbage has nothing to do with hacks at all!

Maybe if it told us HOW to hack the phone... BUT it does not!

Wtf man... ruining a good site with this horse junk.

@sean, nice work.It seems that link just shows will’s posts, perfect. Should be added as a direct crap filter on the front page.

Hi, first poster again.
For all of you who share the view that there is a lot of garbage, use this link instead while viewing hackaday if the rubbish really gets to you:
http://www.hackaday.com/category/daily/
It still has the 1 hack a day with the taped up picture, and filters out the other newsy things.

Agreed with #1
the name of the website is "HACK a day" not "Iphone advertisement a day"

Keep to a single... well thought out hack.. per day.

just my .02

Old! The iPhone 3G already has been hacked!
Oh it wasn’t a hack post. My mistake.

Apart from being irrelevant, the information in this post is plain wrong. First of all, there are way more games for jailbroken iPhones/iPots than that old NES emu. That was news one year ago, guys. Since then we've seen Gameboy Advance, Playstation, and SNES emulators. Not to mention complex, 3d, native games like Raging Thunder (a 3d racing game).

And what's with this six-hacks-a-day thing? What happened to ONE a day? I'm starting to long for the days when Will was the only posting editor. Look for a little more quality over quantity in your posts, guys.

I also agree, the maintainers of this site are totally abusing the powers.

This is Hackaday, we came here for what you originally gave us.. not this dumb-downed news crap.

If we wanted this, we would have went to a news portal.

As been told in several other posts, clean up your act guys.. stop ignoring your loyal viewers, it's not wise.

I agree with post 1 also. I may be somewhat biased toward Jailbreaking considering my involvment in hardware hacks for Iphone, but that’s also why I come to this site :) Hack-a-day it is, right? Not Engadget ;)

the iphone sucks, and apple sucks. i have a friend whose ipod keeps freezing. i jokingly tell him: it’s because apple’s hq is on 1 infinite loop.

I agree with the first post.

I have been lurking this site for a number of years, and this is the first time that I have been disappointed in the content presented to me on this site.

I know that some naysayers will tell me that, "you don't have to read articles of this type if you don't want to, and nobody is forcing you to read them."

I will respond preemptively by stating that when any media group or blog, etc changes to a more popular article type or tv show type, etc, viewers may go up, but the original, founding group feels betrayed and abandoned.

A recent example of this would be when the Discovery channel began to broadcast shows such as "Cash Cab" and "The Deadliest Catch". The shows, though interesting to some, were more reminiscent of mainstream reality tv shows of little educational merit. This directly contradicted the name of "Discovery" which may lead a viewer to believe that they broadcast an educational palette of shows.

I am also reminded of TLC, who in recent years has gone from "The Learning Channel" to the "Testosterone Lowering Channel." TLC's downfall all
began with a show that I rather liked: Junkyard Wars. It was a good show, a show that I feel many here would have enjoyed, but it deviated from the standard TLC fare. Thus, it opened the way for the crap which now perpetually graces the screen of TLC.

I hope that hackaday will stay away from future articles of this sort, and instead stay true to its roots. I love this site, and I dread the day when it goes the way of TLC. Please editors, beware of this type of article in the future.

This is not a hack. This is not the kind of content I come to this site for… there are plenty of news-type blogs out there already.
