A 19-year-old hacker from New York state has managed to outwit the security engineers at Apple repeatedly over the last couple of years.  Nicholas Allegra, also know as Comex, is the creator of the JailBreakMe code (now in version 3) that enables users to install software on their iPad or iPhone that hasn't been approved by Apple. In an interview with Forbes, the hacking prodigy said, "It feels like editing an English paper. You just go through and look for errors."
