“Get A Mac’s” Justin Long Jailbreaks His iPhone [Video]

Recently vacated Mac avatar and sloe-eyed hipster hunk Justin Long popped up on Jimmy Kimmel Live the other night, and let’s just say he’s probably glad his “Get A Mac” gig has ended, because otherwise he might have gotten into some serious trouble pulling out that jailbroken iPhone.

But that’s not really the most interesting thing about his appearance. I got to tell you, I love this clip: I’ve always despised Justin Long, but this anecdote is funny enough that I’m seriously starting to think I just hated him because he was beautiful. And a lackluster thespianr, but whatever. Who knew he was so funny?

The video is funny as hell…
And wow..! Jailbreak..!

Jesus, I’m already sick of this story getting blown out of proportion, thinking that a clearly fresh Cydia install and a TV out app on the homescreen suddenly makes Apple’s former poster boy a jailbreaker.
I mean, if he keeps it, that’s another story, but this is a case of “hey we need your iPhone on TV out, can you jailbreak it for me real quick?”
Christ.

Mashi thank you for getting it right, I was gonna say the same exact thing.
If he had brought it up in the interview I might have believed it. Clearly this was just the producer saying “hey is there some way we can show his iPhone SMS messages on the screen” and some tech person went “ya but you have to jailbreak it” and so that’s what they did. Plain and simple.

He may be cool now, but he played a total dork in Galaxy Quest, and he was completely believable. It’s hilarious that he’s publicly showing off a jailbroken iPhone–I bet even Steve is laughing about that.

Big deal! Who really cares what this guy does with his iPhone?

Interesting how the video was pulled from YouTube due to Disney copyright issue. ABC = Disney = Steve Jobs. Maybe Jobso didn’t think his former pitchman having a jailbroken iPhone was so funny after all.

You can still view the video on Jimmy Kimmel Live from Tuesday 17 Aug, 2010 episode on Hulu.

Yes, because Disney was never known for slamming down hard on copyright violations before Steve Jobs got stock in them.

Good grief, all content providers are having their copyrighted content yanked from YouTube. It’s not like they’re suing Brownlee for $150,000. It’s no big deal. Is there nothing within six degrees of separation from Steve Jobs that you won’t attribute to him negatively? Get a tinfoil hat.
