Who says hacking doesn't pay?
The New Jersey teenager who hacked the iPhone is getting a new sports car for his troubles. And a job. 17-year-old George Hotz struck a deal with a cell phone repair company in Kentucky called Certicell. He gave the company his two unlocked iPhones; They gave him a Nissan 350z. Hotz figured out how to make the iPhone work on cell networks other than AT&T. A spokesman for Certicell says the company has no plans to commercialize Hotz's discovery, but they would like to hire him as a consultant. In the meantime, he's off to the Rochester Institute of Technology.
