1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,600
you know what smartphones are great out of the box but if you're a tweaker or a

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,800
tinkerer you might find the customizability of your iPhone or

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,320
Android phone a little underwhelming after all being able to change your

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,920
background and ringtone and whether or not Siri has a British accent only goes

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:24,119
so far when it comes to tapping into your phone's Hardware potential so

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,320
because of that many people have turned to processes that remove some

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:32,719
limitations that's jailbreaking for the ey sheep and rooting for the Androids

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,120
and although jailbreaking and rooting are technically quite different they

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,039
accomplish similar goals namely they give you privileged access to the

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,239
device's operating system allowing you to do things you wouldn't normally be

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:49,440
able to kind of like when Neo was able to see through the Matrix except you

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:55,239
won't be able to stop bullets seriously please don't try let's start with Apple

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:01:00,079
iOS by default blocks any apps that haven't been approved by Apple and

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,359
placed into the App Store and it also

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,280
forces you to use Apple's default user interface on top of that the iPhone

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,159
hides its file system from users so not only is it tough to see all your files

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,119
conveniently that are actually on your device it also prevents you from using

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,479
the free space as a handy dandy USB flash drive if that's what you're into

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,479
if you have a jailbroken iPhone though these limitations are removed and you

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,880
can intensely customize the look and feel of your user interface install and

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,799
use any program written for iOS no apple approval needed and directly access the

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,360
file system allowing you to use your phone as a flash drive or external hard

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,040
drive and a large community has popped up around the practice of jailbreaking

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,280
and you can find plenty of jailbreak exclusive tweaks and apps for your

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,759
iPhone including everything from Windows phone look like themes to classic game

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,880
emulators but what about Android they already have gaming emulators as I

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,360
mentioned before the Android equivalent to jailbreaking is rooting which also

28
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:04,200
allows for a large number of visual and usabil tweaks as well as advanced

29
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,479
features like app automation the ability to turn your phone into a free Wi-Fi

30
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,319
hotspot sometimes even if your carrier doesn't allow it and even

31
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:16,959
overclocking but frankly many users do it on the Android side for far less

32
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:21,360
exotic reasons to get rid of the Annoying hard-to remove bloatware that

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,400
comes pre-installed on many Android devices and even change operating

34
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,200
systems entirely so what if you're ready to take the plunge then and give it a

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,599
shot well jailbreaking or rooting your phone often isn't horribly difficult a

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,720
quick Google search will yield a number of downloadable tools that you can use

37
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:43,120
to enable elevated access rights on your device but keep in mind that since these

38
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:47,360
tools are technically software exploits that take advantage of security flaws in

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,599
the operating systems code jailbreaking and rooting might not be available if

40
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:56,879
you have a newer or a more obscure device or a very recent version of iOS

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:02,480
or Android as some phone manufacturers work actively to prevent these practices

42
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,280
when they release software patches well hold on wait a second lonus did you just

43
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,799
say they're exploits all this sounds kind of shady aren't there risks

44
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,200
involved well yes like many things you can do to tweak your gadgets

45
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,360
jailbreaking and rooting do come with a few caveats modifying your phone in this

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:23,239
way can often void your warranty and if you do it improperly it could even brick

47
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,720
your device a lot of people also wonder whether jailbreaking or rooting is even

48
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,080
legal I mean come on jailbreaking even has the word jail right in it and

49
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:34,200
although I'm not a lawyer and the true answer depends on where you live and the

50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,000
time that you live in I can tell you that the short answer for those of you

51
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:42,920
in Canada and the US living in the now is yes it's legal as long as you're not

52
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,159
doing it to infringe on a copyright but remember guys that laws change

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,400
frequently so you might want to do some digging around before you decide to

54
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:55,760
trick out your phone with that super cool lonus theme that I'm sure one of

55
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,480
you has spent days working on right no

56
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,879
all right then that's fine anyway I'll use this awkward silence to tell you

57
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:07,560
guys about fresh books freshbooks is a cloud-based accounting tool that's

58
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:13,360
designed for freelance workers or small businesses it makes invoicing getting

59
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,439
paid and tracking expenses easier with a

60
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,040
phone based things you can just like B boy Boop here were the hours I worked

61
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Bippity Boop send an invoice and boom they can pay you by credit card online

62
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,400
so the whole process is much simpler because as you all know if you're a

63
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:33,600
small business owner half of the battle is getting the work done the other half

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:38,840
is actually getting it build and paid so you can do all kinds of little

65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,600
self-management stuff that is easy now

66
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:44,720
as opposed to involving tedious paperwork and sitting down at a computer

67
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,400
so you can spend your time doing the work you need to do as opposed to just

68
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:53,280
you know filling out forms and invoices and sending up bills and follow-ups and

69
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,080
