Apple, Inc.
Apple recently released iTunes 8.2 and, as expected, the update disables jailbreaking. As a result, the iPhone Dev Team issued a warning to users about updating:

This update is one of those that incidentally breaks QuickPwn and PwnageTool. It doesn't seem like an anti-jailbreak. But nonetheless, it will break your ability to re-run QuickPwn or PwnageTool's dfu-entry.

The iPhone Dev Team has a fix planned, but it will not be available until Apple publicly releases Firmware 3.0.
