Hacking

I love to hack.  Love it.  I love making things do the things that they were never made to do; or even better- removing limitations and freeing the device to do more things.  I love the dark secrecy.  I love understanding things.  I love to hack.

It always impresses me that all things can be hacked.  It is like a mini war- the tech and media giants are frantically trying to preserve their eroding control over digital media vs. the hackers who work as a collective to reverse their efforts.  

Enter the iPhone.  Great little device- I adore it.  But, Apple has chosen to lock out many features that would seem obvious to include.  Things like real bluetooth transfers, custom ring tones, remote access of your itunes....  Within a week, the entire iphone OS was decrypted, and hackers were actively once again developing forums to share information learned.  

While one may argue the legalities of hacking- I see it as one of the purist of freedoms.  If you purchase a product, you should be allowed to do anything that you wish to it.  

Hack on.
