US Teen Trades Hacked iPhone for Nissan 350Z

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-for-nothing dept.

PieGuy107 writes to mention that seventeen-year-old George Hotz of Glen Rock, NJ has made the trade of the summer. Hotz traded his hacked iPhone for a new set of wheels (Nissan 350Z to be exact) and 3 more 8GB iPhones. "[Terry] Daidone, who's the co-founder of Louisville, Kentucky-based CertiCell, has apparently also offered the young man a paid consulting job, but stresses the company doesn't have 'any plans on the table right now to commercialize Mr. Hotz' discovery'."

      You fool! The proper reply is: 1992 called and wants David Spade's only good joke back.

    Yeah but when you buy name brand instead of Walmart, you know your shoes were made by eight year olds, not five year olds. My morals are worth another $30.

    So the whole deal is about a 17 year old's steady hand work. :-) We all remember the result of that .....
