I-Phone Hack in 30 Hours

Wired Magazine reported today that tech genius T.B. Gibeht hacked his way into the Apple I-phone 3G in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Gibeht is said to have made a surface mount 256Mbyte interface that fits neatly inside Apple's frontline phone. The interface was made using a 35 watt soldering iron, assembling 55,000 individual latching diodes, 2,200 zeners, and 9 grams of tungsten carbide semi-conducting fractals into a novel circuit. Power requirement for the new hack is high, so it's necessary to make all calls within 5 inches of a 120 volt, 20 amp receptacle. No invasive software connections were made into the patented Apple firmware, but Gibeht boasted that he "wirelessly coupled his gooie bit analyzer" to the Pangborn image compressor, which is automatically unzipped using commonly available shareware. Wired Magazine reported that Gibeht showed off his hack by calling the International Space Station for a two hour chat, and charging the call to Arnold Schwartzenegger's home phone number. T. B.'s hacked phone can now perform all the Apple functions plus manipulate a herd of sheep into a small enclosure. With a heavy duty extension cord, the phone can climb NYC skyscrapers to the 900 foot level.
