ROFLMAO

A seventeen year old, George Hotz who is headed to college no doubt, has cracked the iPhone and made it available to carriers other than horrible AT&T. It took him 500 hours to do the hardware/software crack and it delights me to no end. This news clip is over seven minutes, but John Dvorak's comment about AT&T at the end makes it worth watching the whole video. The ChicagoTribune.com has a related story. Seems to be a nice kid. The Uber Nerds of America will welcome his membership.



"The bathtub was invented in 1850 and the telephone in 1875. In other words, if you had been living in 1850, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25 years without having to answer the phone."
