Sad... Very sad
Okay, here's what happened:
He had the choice of:
a) Having his birthday party cancelled
b) Having his iPod confiscated for 6 months
c) Do chores until 2012
He chose c. I personally would've confiscated his iPod as well, but hey, I'm not his parents.

wow that's fuggn hilarious!
it IS rather amazing that these kids are already jailbreaking their devices. but actually, not too different from me squeezing every bit out of the Palm IIIx that i had then.
thanks for sharing this one!

example of why people should read before thinking they know it all!
Unless your tethering and stealing from AT&T. Then that's MacRumors approved and OK!!
Well, I call this a funny story, some may call it stupid, daft, ignorant, naive or just down right hilarious.
My friend at school is in year eight. This means he is 12-13 years old. Like many people in that year, he has an iPod touch.
Now, the latest craze is to jailbreak. Most people do it so they can enable multitasking (slow down their system), download 'free' apps (illegally) and add fancy stuff (they think they need). Now I'm not against jailbreaking (I jailbreak(ed?) my iPod touch), but my iP4 is un-jailbroken.
So, anyway, this kid at school jailbreaks his iPod touch, and thinks great! I can now have a pornographic Mario as the boot logo! Somewhere along the line, he also hears he can get apps for free. So he says, great! Along he goes to the App Store (not Installous) and spends £500 (about $800) on apps thinking they're free because he jailbroke.
The best (or worst) part is it was all on his Dad's iTunes account, and, to top it all off, he downloaded a £80 TomTom app but didn't install it because he doesn't have GPS and the download took too long!
I guess it just shows the danger of a kid with the internet and a password to his Dad's iTunes account.
No this is not funny, are you sharing his unfortunate story on the internet to humiliate him?
This is downright mean, if i were in your shoes I would have helped him out.
Real friends would not have let this play out.
At least his dad will never get lost again (assuming he is more patient than his son).
There's always a bright side.
