10:46 PM - Comex(a Hacker) -I Will Be Starting an Internship With Apple

Who is Comex? Never heard that name before? Ok, what about JailBreakMe? If you are an Apple fan, then that's what we are talking about. Comex is the inventor of JailBreakMe. And not long ago, it is said that he will join Apple to practice, which let many people concern whether he will continue to contribute to jailbreak community and provide better way to jailbreak. In an interview with TechCrunch, he answered some questions and gave his view of Apple andjaibreak, and he will not only continue to jailbreak, but also he won't stay in Apple too long and plan sometime return to university. When asked what he think about Apple steals the jailbreak idea, Comex said he didn't that much care, because the jailbreak application's performance is usually not perfect, but Apple can make these things come true through a perfect method, make these things become system functions in the end.

A couple days ago, Steve Jobs announced his resignation as CEO officially, which made many Apple fans very disappointed and grieved. But at meantime, another News let us feel kind of funny, Comex, the famous jailbreak hacker, who is the cracker of sJailbreakMe3.0develops and develops iPad2 jailbreak tool, said he has received Apple's invitation and prepared to go to work for Apple as an intern. Comex is a 19 year-old student in Brown University, his real name is Nicholas Allegra and he is a genius. Forbes has interviewed him before, showed us his other side as a common student. At the end of interview, the columnist of Forbes suggested that Apple should hire this talented young man. No one would have thought Apple moved so quickly, Comex did not disclose the scope of work in Apple, but apparently wouldn't develop jailbreak tools anymore. As for the congratulations from friends, Nicholas Allegra said, "I thought it could have negative reaction about my decision.

There are too many hackers get them in trouble because invading operating system, but also some hackers can get benefits because of this. Like Comex, which is Nicholas Allegra, an industry-renowned hacker who be famous for jailbreaking IOS, now get attention from Apple because his outstanding performance.

For the jailbreak program that provided by Nicholas Allegra, I bet you guys all know what it about, how to jailbreak iPad is no longer a problem for most of us right now, if users can successfully jailbreak, then they can run a variety of procedures on the iPad, iPhone, iPod, iPod touch and no longer need recognition from Apple. And more important, the program provided by Comex also support reversible operation, it means if you don't want to jailbreak anymore, you can restore your Apple product, which is insurance for users, so now you know why Apple want him. Allegra said, JailBreakMe is not used to steal or damage something, it just allows users to install any software that they want, but as a jailbreak tool, it is not welcomed by Apple, because once it used by those malicious hackers, may cause unpredictable consequences.

After introducing JailBreakMe 3.0, Allegra also release a patch for a vulnerability that he found in PDF, so users can erase their jailbreak marks to prevent other malicious hackers to find and use the same vulnerability. Before Apple released the official patch, those iPhone or iPad that have been jailbroken even more safe than those haven't been jaibroken to some extent. So all Comex do is just because his interest, no commercial benefit.

No matter what's Nicholas Allegra's future will be, we will not forget this low-key big boy's contribution to the iOS users, hope his future is bright.
