the two issues which i expected you would address was
1. the media hype given - which to my opinion is not good for modern world
2. he having to trade it to a competitor company - he could have informed iPod about it
I will address the second question first. The hacker didnt trade it to Apple. Instead he went to a competitor. What's its implication?
Of course he could have informed Apple and could get remuneration for his work. It would be of great interest to Apple too. They would like to know how their code could be hacked - as another piece of intellectual work.
But the hacker didnt do that. He preferred a competitor. His motive may be to challenge Apple's monopoly.
I do believe that Apple has got all the rights over their product (iPhone). But the issue here is, they are compelling the customers to choose a 'network' to use their product.
Microsoft had the same issues in the past. They used their monopoly over PCs to promote their own other web based services. As we all remember there was fierce legal battle over the issue and finally Microsoft lost it. Now its the term of Apple, that's all.
It's bit complex.
And also the word 'hacking'! It may be like 'sex'.
Is 'sex' bad? answer is 'Yes' and 'No'.
Within the marriage bond it is good and it's good use should be promoted. But it can also be 'bad'. The context and motivation will decide it.
I do try to understand the confusion of a PARENT in this situation. How to guide his siblings? It's a real challenge - to teach him to differentiate between the 'right' and the 'wrong', in this complex world. Good conscience formation with the help of genuine religious values only will help the child to survive positively in this ever changing world.
Media always make hype - especially, if its regarding Mac products! I wish they give at least as importance as this to the suffering people in the world. They wont - especially the Western Media. Sorry.
