Our boy George Hotz of NJ has finally made good on the iPhone that he hacked into. As reported by the AP, Hotz has traded the phone for a car; in his own words: "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones." The "buyer" was CertiCell, a Louisville, Ky.-based mobile phone repair company.
Good for him! Being Indian, I have this strange need to the math on his investment. Per the handy dandy internet, the car retails for roughly $36,550...the phones are about $599 per...meaning his total haul comes to $41,232. That means the kid got about $82/hr which is certainly great for a 17 year old... Good for him!
