Glen Rock NJ – George Hotz thought he'd be heading to the Rochester Institute of Technology for his first year of college, but instead, the iPhone hacker is headed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Hotz was arrested on charges of violating the DMCA, as well as aiding terrorism by unlocking the iPhone for use on other networks other than AT&T.

Arresting a minor who is a citizen of the United States and sending him to Guantanamo is an unprecedented move by the government, but officials say this is an unprecedented case.

Unprecedented = retarded??

While we're at it, this is retarded too:

Apple stores will be charging $5 just to get in the door. Another reason why I'm not giving them any of my money any time soon. What the hell is with these companies these days, who the hell do they think they are?

"..if it keeps out the iPhone gawkers and Windows lusers who want to drool over the new Macs.."

Who is he calling a 'Windows luser'? Can't even spell right anyway. I think that charging someone a 'cover charge' to get into an Apple store, or any store for that matter is idiotic and narcissistic.

Hey Saks Fifth Avenue and Bang & Alofson have high priced, stylish and trendy items too but you don't see them charging people to get into their stores.

Terrorist, whatever. I think AT&T put pressure on the gov. to make an example out of this kid. I'm sure terrorists would be happy with blackberries or regular computers.

[Counterproductive]

Is this article legit? I can find nothing else on it.

[chacelp]

How could unlocking an iPhone for use on other networks by a 18 year old kid possibly be confused for terrorism??

[Counterproductive]

Ya, its fake, the site says its a humour site. Burn on me for believing it for 10 minutes I guess.

[chacelp]

Touche...

Here's to reading the fine print. My bad.
Maybe this should be in 'random' after all.

I missed the humor in the first article.

Wtf?

Liars!!!!

While these articles are obviously fake, Apple could press charges. The kid who hacked the iphone in America (yes, people in china already have a software based hack) did a hardware and software revamp in order for it to work. In other words, he breached the user agreement by modifying the item's software and hardware. And because he's not in China, he could totally get nailed for it.

Yeah, but Guantanamo? More like dirty Jersey where he is from.
