These people, and those behind most hacking projects never really consider the developer's side of the story. How much revenue will aapl and at&t loss because of newly unlocked iPhones? Doesn't matter to the hackers.</p> I appreciate the irony but judging from the fact they have 20k downloads, it seems most people think they are doing the world a service.

Prime example of the severe lack of personal responsibility that plagues this world daily. The worst part is that those of such obvious lack of any moral compass are the first to cast stones. I shame a pure shame. I wonder who raised these people a pack of wild pc's or wolves with programming degrees I guess.</p> Seriously how can this guy argue that he deserves credit for his hard work when he is helping people to deny other developers of that same credit?
