You silly guys, stop bricking your phones!!.. Engadget already told you there's a software unlock for the iPhone. Its only some lawyers from LA that keep you from obtaining it.. Its there already, the editor-in-chief has seen it alive. Stop bricking your phones and wait for the real hack that Engadget already have showned in their video.. It will be with us in just a few days. Once the lawyers in California calms down, we can all buy it. ENJOY freedom, brought to you by Engadget.
He can probally trade this one for a 1974 Ford Pinto, no 350z here... haha
always disconnect a battery first before fucking with things.... if it can't be disconnected, cut the damn wire, you can always resolder it....
most important, if you don't understand electronics don't touch em!
Aside from the instant bitch fest of Pro-Apple VS. Anti-Apple morons who cannot take any comment for/against Apple without Raising the Battle Flag and rallying the troops to utterly destroy the other side because they must be fucking dumbshits to have any opinion at all differing from their own.......
I really feel for this guy. That really sucks. I have bricked a PDA or two in my time, and bricked my first PSP. My very first Motherboard I got with a P90 and FULL SCSI with a 56K modem back in the day got fried when, like a retard, I was impatient and screwed with it while it was on. The screw actually fell in slow motion onto the motherboard and I could see the little plume of smoke come up from the board....
So my heart goes out to this dude, lets all take a bi-partisan moment of silence.....................................................................................................................................
P.S - It would be nice to see a post on Engadget with funny or constructive posts without starting a verbal war each time.
Damn, when will Microsoft learn. They produce total sh!+ hardware that keeps blowing up, melting, catching on fire, etc. When will they learn? Having this happen is completely unacceptable. How quickly will they reimburse this poor unfortunate user, and what punitive damages will they pay? I am not going to buy another one of their...

I'm sorry, what? Oh, this is an Apple product? Oh, well, then it serves the owner right he should know better than trying to hack it. Apple put that melting feature in there to stop people from doing this crap for a reason. That person trying to hack it should have known better.
anyone else see that Carls Jr. banner ad next to this article? If you mouse over it a hot blonde chick turns into a greasy patty melt! Disgusting! I want her back!
"I really feel for this guy. That really sucks."
Ah, no... Thats some funny shit and he deserves it, we can take a moment to laugh at him, no silence needed. I hope he buys another one and bricks it again... This is a great phone but it is funny when everyone crawls out of the woodwork hoping they can be a hacker... THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU A HACKER FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, and with this guy following instructions poorly... HAHA
Oh, I was not saying we can't laugh at him. I was just saying I feel for the guy and it really sucks. I laughed my farking ass off. It's funny as hell.
After I wiped the tears away though, I did want to give him a hug and say everything was going to be all right :)
To quote Nelson: Ha ha!
How sad.
