Miscellaneous

• QuickPwn.com and Yellowsn0w.net, and their associated Twitter accounts, are not officially-sanctioned sites for news or support on Dev Team applications. They have been set up solely to profit financially from the reputation of the Dev Team and visiting is highly discouraged.
• The use of 'cracked apps' or 'warez', referring to commercial applications available on the iTunes Application Store that have been modified and distributed by third parties for free, is frowned upon by the community; developers value your support!
