Of course you can get some free apps and you can do other things just like the administrator such as disable bloatware, control app permissions, enable tethering, and do lots of other cool things.
I never heard of the "terrible towel", but basically you take square roots of numbers and measurements, not of objects.
Download & Install Towel Root then run it.
I do not think it is possible unless you root your nook
If by "hidden" you mean apps that were installed by default from the manufacturer, there is now way to remove these apps from your phone by conventional means. You must have root access, which can be very hard to get on your device.
Store ginger root in the refrigerator in a paper towel or airtight container to keep it fresh and flavorful.
Depends on why you are trying to root it in the first place, Rooting it will erase all apps and stored information you have on it. The apps you can re-download for free, but any contact data, pictures, music and others may not be so easily replaced.
If you are talking about the Verizon apps, the only way to remove them is to root and unlock the bootloader on the phone, then you can disable or remove the Verizon apps at that point.
Fresh ginger root should be stored in the refrigerator in a paper towel or a perforated plastic bag to maintain its freshness.
If your main purpose is to just move apps to the external SD card, you don't necessarily have to root your phone. There are apps out there that can move files to the SD without requiring root priviledges...AppMgr III/App 2 SD is an example.
Jailbreaking gives you access to the root level of the device meaning that software not approved by Apple can be installed. Software can then be installed that gives you access to apps from sources other than Apple's app store. Some of these are free and some you will have to pay for. Apple maintains its own app store so it can check the apps to make sure they are not performing tasks, such as accessing the user's bank account, in the background without the user's knowledge. There will be no such checks on apps from other unknown sources.
you need to download apps. Make a folder in your root of SD card name it "apps". then download your apps here http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_homebrew_applications
