Click on the picture and read the first sentence. Someone needs to get his ass wacked at Herald Sun.Maybe the guy was born yesterday and all he got to see is a lousy PC of the 80ies. Who knows?
It seems that Herald Sun is Australia's largest morning paper and a visit to their homepage reveals no further clumsiness. So, maybe the incident may have been caused by the fact Australians are looking at the world upside down. Who knows?
Enough of that... the real news of the day is a press release of an Irish 'company', a 'subsidiary' of UniquePhones (give us a break!) that added itself to the list of iPhone unockers. UniquePhones positions itself as an unlocker of phones locked to 600 operators worldwide. Wow! Go figure what their mission statement looks like: 'We will help users steal from their telecom operators for a fee!'
The paddy kiddos thought of making a few bucks by selling their unlock code to amateurs and alike and announced to the world that they would be accepting orders from 12:00 noon EST on August the 25th. Allegedly, on the same day, just a few hours before D-time, the über-hacker from Tipperary received a threatening call from an AT&T law firm, so says he, tellin' him that they were planning to roast his ass on a Texan BBQ should he decide to release his unlock code for money. The kid, scared to his pants, decided not to go ahead and the whole soap opera seems to have been prematurely terminated. In the meantime, he got his five minutes attention of the world... his site was overwhelmed with 10 mails a minute (which he thinks is big).
Dreamers of acquiring some iPhone unlock code will now have to wait a bit longer for a new kid to show-up, with a larger pair of testicles this time over. Let's see how much longer this is gonna take, then...
Hang-in there iPhone geeks! Your Transfiguration Day will come soon...
