If you're familiar with OS X Lion, you're probably aware that the new system is no longer sold on a physical optical medium. For recovery purposes, users can simply hit the Command + R key combination at bootup, but what if that feature fails for some unforeseen reason?
Late last week, iOS 5 Beta 5 was seeded to eager Apple developers. As always, many are asked the million-dollar question: can it be jailbroken?
