good gadgets for teenagers image
Q. I've read the articles and all that say "iPhone was hacked by a teenager" but I don't seem to understand what happened. Can someone be kind enough to explain to me what happened? Thanks!
Answer
17-year-old claims he has found a way to unlock the iPhone's exclusive ties to AT&T's wireless network and use the phone on T-Mobile's network instead. The New Jersey teen says it was a complicated process and he collaborated with four other people to hack the phone.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The teenage hacker who managed to unlock the iPhone so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T will be trading his reworked gadget for a new car.

How can I see into a room with the door closed?
Mr. Awesom
I'm having problems with my son and I need to be able to see what he's doing in his room occasionally. Unfortunately hi-tech gadgets are out of the price range. Any suggestions?
Answer
You did not mention the age of your son. If he is not a teenager, keeping tabs on him should not be an issue. However when he is a teen, he needs some level of privacy. But all is not lost!
Does he have a computer of his own and online? You worried about his online activities? There is free software (freeware) you can download to a diskette or burn to a DVD and install on his computer. This software will keep track of where he goes on the internet, and record every single keystroke without his knowledge. He wont even know its installed.
Its best right now to tell your son (if you really feel he is abusing your trust) to talk with him like I did with my daughter when she was a teen. "I will respect your privacy AS LONG AS, you do not give me any reason to suspect you're up to something. The moment you give me reason to be suspicious - I am going to invade your privacy.
If he starts in on how unfair this is - don't let him control the conversation and steer it to guilt tripping you. Remind him that until he is 18 and living on his own, you are responsible for his safety and welfare and as long as that is the law - you will use whatever means at your disposal to make sure he stays out of trouble.
If he wants privacy - like respect - he has to earn it.
This open policy of invading his privacy if he gives you reason to, is not unfair, but practical.
For the record it is not a good idea to use any and every excuse to invade a teen's privacy. Staying out late, is. Not being where he is supposed to be on sleepovers or going to the movies is. Acting guilty about something or acting like he's hiding something is.
Do not raid his room anytime you feel like it because then, thats just looking for conflict and will ruin any relationship you might have or will ever have with your son. THINK before you act.
