    That better not be a smug, arrogant look on his face. If he hacked someone's personal iPhone for personal data, you'd better believe there'd be people who'd want to kick the sh|t out of this kid! Like J. Cook's computer being hacked, just because it's hackable does NOT mean it's right.
    Do you think this kid has asked for it by posting this publicly?

    Steve, hackers not only break into peoples' computers to break stuff. Hackers can go and try to break in into software to change things. In this case, he screwed around with his personal iphone to unlock it from AT&T. This is legal in this country, so he is not in any trouble.

    Well, depends how they view that barter for the unlocked iphone for the cars and 3 more phones. You can unlock phones legally, but it's iffy if you are going to start a business to make money off of it.

    He didn't hack it. He took something and modified it. It is his ownership. I am not a lawyer but possession is 9/10 the law so he can do what he wanted with it. Also IMO, he did not sell the phone. He didn't put a 'For Sale' sign on the thing. He was just offered a sweet deal he couldn't pass up.

    Before you go irrate on me saying he hacked it. Does that mean I hacked XP by going into the registery editor and changed my 'Start' Button to read something other than 'Start'. NO. Does that mean I hacked Window Xp when I use Styles XP and change my boot screen. NO. There are ways around laws that do not exist atm. But I gaurantee that the IPhone and carriers will have exclusive fine print terms in contracts from now on that you will have to sign so it makes it punishable by law for modifying the phone. Another BULLSHIT thing in our lives making us own less of something we actually own and doing what we want with our owned item. Do you really own the land your home is on? kinda shit. I mean you cannot do what you want with your own land, your own property. blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbl ahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

    The whole point of this long assed rant is "WHO GIVES A SHIT!" His phone + his tech knowledge = burned Apple with what was supposedly unhackable (un modifiable) KUDOS to the geek kid. ROFLMAO to Apple

    In today's Netspeak, hacking something just means modifying it.

    The kid is no criminal.

    I wonder why AT&T are now uppity up with the laws?

    And svrwthr, yes, I've heard the lecture, you don't own your home, much less the property.
