Justin Long "Get A Mac" guy is a Jailbreaker

Nice!


"I'm not sure how Apple is going to feel about this.

As it turns out, Justin Long, star of the popular "Get a Mac" TV spots from Apple, is a jailbreaker. And while Justin's former bosses in Cupertino may not be thrilled with this revelation, Justin Long obviously isn't just playing a contemporary, cutting edge tech guy on TV. In real life, he's exactly that. And then some.

During an appearance this week on late night TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live", Long shared a story on the program that involved a personal demonstration (iPhone and all) of a humorous SMS convo that, ultimately, revealed more - much more - than just the funny comments in the chat. During the segment (check out the video link below), it was apparent that Long has a jailbroken iPhone (gasp!) as Cydia was clearly among his visible iPhone apps.

One has to wonder if Apple would have to terminate Long's contract as a result of his "devious" jailbreaking activities - assuming, of course, that the company hadn't already pulled the plug on the "Get a Mac" TV spots. Nonetheless, it appears that the star of "Live Free or Die Hard" wants his iPhone to live as freely as possible."

I was suprised to hear that jailbreaking was a jailable offence. Recently that was overruled but wow just the same.

I thought they had fired him a long time ago after being caught with pot? Or that may have been the "Dude" guy before him.

It looks as though Justin Long & Apple ended their "Get a Mac" campaign last year in October.
