jailbreak

The Apple TV might be the perfect media center for the average tech connected home. It's tiny, it's powerful, but unfortunately aside from streaming music, it's useless.

This probably comes as no surprise to most of you, but less than 24 hours after its announcement at Apple's WWDC event, iOS 6 is already jailbroken--with interesting results.

If you’re searching for a new GPS navigator or a touchscreen remote control, a good place to find one is at the bottom of your desk drawer. Old smartphones, long forgotten after being buried under a pile of debris, still pack some punch with a decent processor, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth--and the devices can run apps that transform them into a new stand-alone machine.

Comex, who wrote an app that makes jailbreaking iOS devices as easy as tapping a screen, then two more when Apple broke the jailbreak, took the internship because the cracking got boring.
