The so called puzzle that's harder than a Rubik's cube has finally been solved. That means the iPhone has been hacked. It can now be configured to use other networks besides AT&T. The teenage hacker, George Hotz, was the one to solve the puzzle. Now he has struck a deal with CertiCell, a Kentucky based company, to trade for his hacked phone. Hotz is getting a Nissan 350z and 3 new iPhones. But Hotz is giving the phones to online companies who helped him hack the phone.

So was 500 hours of hacking worth it in the end? It sure was since Hotz got a new car out of it!

Bank at the Bank, Bank on the Computer, Bank on your Phone?

Since many people have cell phones nowadays, banks have come up with a new idea. People bank using their computers, so why not let them bank using their cell phones? It seems like real convience at first. Just think, if you're strande in the deserted highway with no signal on your phone, don't worry because you can still do your banking. At least you'll have something to do when you're waiting for the possibility of help riding by.

If you thought banking on your computer was easy, just wait and see what you could do with your phone. No seriously, you'll have to wait because I have no idea what phone banking will be like.
