Screenshot by Rick Broida Almost a month ago to the day, I reported that hackers had found a way to jailbreak iOS 4.1–and asked if it was worth the hassle anymore. That question generated lots of great discussion, and now is the perfect time to revisit it. That’s because an …

Picture this: you’re in the backseat of a speeding car, trying to keep up with a flying saucer you just spotted zipping along the horizon.
