SOMEBODY JAILBROKE THE APPLE STORE iPOD TOUCH.
Image from Lifehacker. Screen wasn't quite this busy, but NES and the Installer were definitely there.
I can't even begin to explain how hilarious and awesome this was. Apple is trying so hard to keep third-party apps off the iPhone and the iPod touch, and the hacker community has taken Apple's efforts as a direct challenge to their skills, pride, and worth as human beings. They're fighting back—and how! Take the one-click jailbreak site, which I'm pretty sure was the method used by the mystery Apple store hacker. Just point your iPod touch /iPhone at the site, download a little program called AppSnap, and all of a sudden, your device is liberated. It's everything you always knew it could be. It's reached its potential. And that potential comes packaged with Apple's Eternal Hatred and Ire, and a Possibly Void Warranty.
Life is hard.
But anyway, so I was standing there, messing around with this liberated iPod touch, and I just could not believe my eyes, could not believe this was happening. It was uproarious, and yet, there was no one with whom to laugh uproariously!
So I did the second best thing. Against my better judgment, I told the Apple Store greeter about the jailbreak on my way out.
Okay. So I was a snitch.
But I have to say, the look of horror and dismay on that greeter's face was totally worth it.
