He ain't no hacker!
It’s been all over the place, a developer in Saudi is promising an Arabized iPhone. Claims are that he is half way through.
I’m concerned about one thing, and only one, his quote that has been quoted everywhere, in almost all the ME tech online portals.
And the quote is:
We are not hackers, we are developers
This quote, worries me so much! You know why? Because, well, let Wikipedia explain this and keep ma’self out of this. Any person who’s had at least a year in coding/development/hacking would know the meaning when we’re not speaking of Security.
Now out of all the press that “non-hacker” got, to my amazement I could get my iPhone to read Arabic with broken letters, got the squares finally turn into letters, one down! Now getting those letters to show up as words, quite a challenge.
I just can’t understand how sometimes journalists write up things and mess up that bad! I tell ya why? Get some real techies on board! ITP please!
