In the future, Apple could install a small packet of poisonous gas that would be triggered on the first received phone call 10 hours after jailbreaking the device. I mean, they haven't, but they could do that. And that is creepy.

The financial benefit associated with iAds and location awareness provide an incentive. Where's the incentive to poison jailbreakers? One is significantly more plausible than the other.

Yes! Apple is indeed responsible for disavowing ALL PLAUSIBLE threats they could be involved in! BURN THEM!
