Not one but three iPhone hacks.
My info was from early sources that were wrong. There were three iPhone hacks:
1) As mentioned before, the 17-yr old guy who hacked it through hardware modifications
2) The software-only hack done by iPhoneSIMfree.com
3) And finally a software-only hack by www.iphoneunlocking.com
Strange that they’d all come out the same week.

the biggest opening* of any media product in the history of consumable
media? The previous record holder belongs to this year’s ‘Spider-Man 3′
which brought in $151mil over its opening weekend and $59.84mil [...]

An unlikely duo..
Well if this isn’t technology and entertainment…Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, is now dating comedian Kathy Griffin. They met after Woz attended one of her shows. I wonder if he’ll buy her an iPhone for Christmas.

And lastly, and completely unrelated, Calvin Klein made their first [...]
