well you gotta consider a kid 3-4 years older than him wrote one of the ipod/iphone jailbreaking apps

also, if he keeps this up, he'll be on-par with (if not surpass) Nach..

That's not exactly the sound I'd expect. At the very least there'd be a blood-curdling scream.

this kid will probably grow up to be an awesome programmer reminds of of that one kid who started playing the piano around the same age.

Hmm, hopefully this kid won't sneak into my bag, then sneak back out and bite me.

what are you talking about?

The one where I jokingly asked if the kid is an aspie? (and where I also expressed how amazed I am about the existence of a 9 year old with such incredible talent).

hum, it's IGN. "fluent" in 6 languages? show me the code. more like he can name 6 languages and probably is good at most, but fluent?

...and to invoke assburgers?

Bogglesticks. Especially since many around here grew up with the 80's home computers and the 90's TI graphing calculators that were programmable.

That's his site I believe. Clicking on his apps also show his source code.

...Thats asking for trouble.

That just opens up the possibility of PC/other ports.

other than possibly not making money off the ports, what would be the problem?

Yes. Even if the apps are shareware for PC, piracy would be rampant.

adventure_of_link · Post by **adventure_of_link** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:02 am

And I'm sure it could still be distributed and pirated, even on the iPhone/iPod.
