Mission failed

Somehow, I still think that the untethered jailbreak will appear in the nearby future. I think George already has a clue on how to do that, otherwise he wouldn’t have made his offer. And remember the baseband hack, on that occasion he kept his promise too (although it took him a little more time than expected).
