Hacker reverse engineers new Apple iPods to sync with Linux
A Linux hacker with a personal grudge against Apple developed a method to sync the new iPods through Linux. Unfortunately, Apple is not OK with their iPods being used on the Linux platform.
And we know Apple's not OK with this since it added security measures to prevent this from occurring. But Ian Monroe, a Computer Science major at Truman State University, wants to use his new iPod with Linux. So he did what any good hacker would do, he figured out how to do it anyway.
As of now, it looks like he's still working on the process to make it practical since his latest update regarding the software, in which he describes his success in synching his iPod to a Linux machine, is titled "iPod Classic Will be Supported".
