FAQ:

• What is the purpose of jailbreaking? Jailbreaking allows you to install third-party applications, tweaks, mods, themes, useful utilities, and other content (called "packages") from Cydia, the jailbreak equivalent of theApp Store on iOS. Jailbreaking essentially allows for you to further customize and enhance your iOS device beyond the limits that Apple imposes.

• What is the legal status of jailbreaking? Jailbreaking is officially declared as legal in the United States, based on an exemption made to the U.S. Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) allowing for modifications of this nature. Nevertheless, by jailbreaking your iOS device you are violating the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) with Apple, which means that your device's warranty will be void. By restoring your device back to factory default settings using iTunes, however, all traces of jailbreaking will be removed and your warranty will essentially be valid again.

• Do I need to be running a freshly installed version of iOS 6 to jailbreak? Will my content be erased? You do not need to be running a newly installed copy of iOS 6, but it is recommended. Your device's media and settings will not be affected or removed by the jailbreaking process. Backing up your content to iTunes or iCloud, however, is still recommended as a precautionary measure.

• What's the difference between an untethered, tethered and semi-tethered jailbreak?
  • Tethered Jailbreak: A Tethered Jailbreak needs to be plugged into your PC or Mac over USB, and you typically need to re-run your Jailbreak utility — like redsn0w — and choose the “boot tethered” option to restart your device. You will not lose any data.
  • Untethered Jailbreak: An Untethered Jailbreak can be rebooted any time, anywhere, without having to connect to your PC. It works just like a non-Jailbroken device.
  • Semi-Tethered Jailbreak: A semi-tethered jailbreak allows you to start your iDevice without plugging it into your computer, however you will not be able to use your jailbroken addons until you boot from your computer using the jailbreak program.

No. And next time start a new thread please. What jailbreaking iOS 5.X has to do with jailbreaking iOS 6 is anyone's guess.

Lol, the last image is quite inaccurate currently, unless you're chpwn

I don't know anything about that.

It's an 1136x640 display, neither of which devices can be currently jailbroken (publicly).

Also, the Restore function (Extras > Even more > Restore) now works for all devices! So we can now restore without iTunes
And Extras > Even more > Identify provides much more information (and more useful information) and you no longer have to enter DFU mode for it.

You need to restore to update to iOS 6 anyways. So yes.
