Новината, че софтуера за разработка на софтуер за iPhone надмина 100 000 тегления не ме изненада много, но след това попаднах на статия, която обяснява, че вече всеки е хакер, ама лежерен.

В крайна сметка на тази планета липсват 2 милиона iPhone-а. Т.е. не са активирани. Т.е. хакнати са.

От статията:

The fact that normal people are no longer accepting the terms for buying a physical product is a rather new trend, considering the scale of things. Hackers have always been modifying everything from stereos to game consoles, but in a very small scale and not in a way that struck the same chord.

As the casual hackers realize that the boundaries set up by the manufacturers can easily be removed, they want more. Rather than try to make your next phone an iPhone clone with a twist, you should consider the changes happening in the minds of the users, and consider the need for real open source platform that appeals to the casual users.
