The folks in Anonymous, the amorphous group of hackers, must be steaming right now. While Anonymous arguably has justifiable reasons for its hacking, Anonymous probably feels that another group of hackers is making a mockery of hackers everywhere. The self-proclaimed hacker group LulzSec will seemingly target any site at all, stealing user data and going so far as to set up a hotline to take hacking requests. Gizmodo has made it possible for you to check to see if your email has been hacked.
Today, 40Tech is pleased to present a guest post by Tony Hue from LonePlacebo. Tony's post is especially timely, in light of the U.S. Library's of Congress ruling that jailbreaking an iPhone does NOT violate copyright. Apple, of course, says that jailbreaking does void your warranty, and that it can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably, so proceed at your own risk.

Jailbreaking is the process of reconfiguring the restrictions Apple places on the iPod Touch and iPhone firmware to allow you to gain access to any code on your device. One familiar case is with Apple's App Store. We all know that all apps must undergo an approval process before it is available to download at the App Store. The applications that are not approved, however, sometimes end up at third-party application installers like Cydia.
