After doing some research, I have found out the significance of the date 12/31/1969 is the Unix (Vax-Epoch) Timestamp.

The beginning of the "Vax-Epoch" to which all computer clocks are set to is January 1, 1970. Midnight of December 31, 1969 is 0 time and it's all about the milliseconds from 1/1/1970 to the present.

Then the date should say 1/1/1970 ... but my guess is that the date was set to -1 (which is commonly used as a generic error code by programmers). That would put you one millisecond before 1/1/1970 which would, of course, fall on 12/31/1969.

If you jailbreak, there are plenty of 3rd party themes that look insanely nice. Just haven't gotten around to that yet.

sucks that you have to jailbreak to get that thought...jussayin. Android is even worst but that's another story

Ehh, jailbreaking is crazy simple now. Now restoring to original Apple firmware after jailbreaking is a different story.

Check your bill. They'll probably charge you just enough money that you won't call and complain.
