iPhone 4 jailbreak done in Apple Store

It seems there’s an ongoing contest open to all Apple fans and haters alike brave enough to pull practical jokes at Apple Stores. Take, for example, a prankster who jailbroke a display iPhone 4 inside one of the stores and got away with it. As noted by 9to5Mac, using browser-based JailbreakMe allowed Ethan Zachary Andrew to jailbreak an iPhone 4 phone just by visiting a page in mobile Safari while the clerks were patrolling right in front of him. According to the youngster’s Twitter profile, he’s part of a team of developers who write hacks for iPhones and iPod Touches. Way to go, Zac!
On a related note, anonymous star-crossed lovers from the Google camp pwn’d another Apple Store by installing Android-themed wallpapers on a bunch of iPads and sharing video proof with the world. Apple’s employees must have been pretty upset finding out that dozens of display units had been re-branded with their rival’s logo and captions like “Android HTC Evo, the iPhone Killer.”
