   he\’ll be popular with the ladies now. hacks are pretty silly though because you miss out on device updates from apple that contain new features as well as disabling hacks like this. props though. typing this on iPhone. hehe. josh k

   there’s always a urine stained lining in every hacker’s cloud- eh josh?:) heh.

   seriously though, I’m glad you’re typing efficiently on your iphone. bandmate benjy seems to be kicking out hellu emails on it (all the time). yesterday I asked him the score of the mariner’s game and he said—”just a sec. gotta’ finish my email. ok. it’s confirmed—I’m giving a bass lesson tomorrow. ok. here’s MLB dot com. yea. M’s play later tonight. they’re 2 games up. angels are in the 8th. want to see the ball/strike placement in the latest at bat?” we were in the middle of a field in st helens.

   oh yeah—and the device looked hot while he was using it.

   but it’s still too rich for my blood…..

   i love the last line by the kid’s proud father “…there are worse things teenage kids could be doing.” Yessir-ee. there are worse things than spending 500 hours of your summer vacation voiding the warranty on a cell phone. like getting out of doors, going to the park, writing, reading, playing music, being a kid.

   enjoy your kid’s 15 kilobytes of fame, dad.

   well it looks like the kid got a new car and 3 iphones out of it.

   (AP)- The teenage hacker who managed to unlock the iPhone so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T will be trading his reworked gadget for a new car.George Hotz, of Glen Rock, New Jersey, said he had reached the deal with CertiCell, a Louisville, Kentucky-based mobile phone repair company.

   Hotz posted on his blog that he traded his modified iPhone for “a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones.”

   “This has been a great end to a great summer,” Hotz wrote.

   The 17-year-old Hotz said he will be sending the three new iPhones to the three online collaborators who helped him divorce Apple Inc’s popular product from AT&T’s network. The job took 500 hours, or about 8 hours a day since the iPhone’s June 29 launch.
   Hotz made the deal with Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, who also promised the teen a paid consulting job.

   “We do not have any plans on the table right now to commercialize Mr. Hotz’ discovery,” Daidone said in a statement.

   —– Maybe he will pull a Nick Hogan after he gets his hot-rod!!!
