Another techie note and only because I am so super impressed with these guys out there that take up their precious time to create fixes for some pretty crazy flaws that Apple have left in their famous product, the iPhone.
If you have found it frustrating as hell when using Safari to browse the net on your iPhone and you continuously have to keep entering your username and password (logon credentials) to every website you have an account on (Gmail is probably the most commonly reported one), then you need to go and kiss these people THANK YOU! They found it and FIXED IT!
Here are there instructions taken from their page:
http://www.appledailytimes.com/2008/03/16/114-cookie-fix-available-in-installer/
NOTE: THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE NOT GOT BSD SUBSYSTEM INSTALLED. BSD SUBSYSTEM SHOULD BE THE FIRST APP YOU INSTALL AS MANY THINGS DEPEND ON IT.
Well now that fix is packaged up into a nice installer.app package! Just add our repo: http://appledailytimes.com/installer and you will be logging into sites in no time!
The reason that this happened in the first place is stupid apple forgot to make the Cookies folder run as Mobile :P. Instead, it runs as root. Meaning Safari, which runs as Mobile, can not write to that root-privileged folder, as it does not have permissions to. There are literally thousands of poeple experience this problem who are legitimate AT&T, un-jailbroken users. So this has nothing to do with jailbreaking.
But anyway, now that we can fix it, why should we complain?
