HACKENSACK, N.J. — George Hotz — pale, skinny, shaggy-haired and brilliant — claims he's won the worldwide race to unlock an Apple iPhone so it can be used with a carrier other than AT&T.

The 17-year-old Glen Rock, N.J., resident posted the complicated steps on his blog Thursday.

An avid tinkerer who goes by the online name Geohot, Hotz showed off two iPhones that he'd unlocked, both of which can make and receive calls using T-Mobile's network.

"BRAIN AGE 2: MORE TRAINING IN MINUTES A DAY"
For: Nintendo DS
From: Nintendo
ESRB Rating: Everyone

The first time I fired up "Brain Age 2," I did so on maybe three hours of sleep. I paid dearly, bombing on my first set of challenges and finishing with a brain age nearly twice my actual age. The game asked me if I was feeling a bit tired, and while it was just a rhetorical question, I couldn't help but nod in shame.

It didn't help my plight that "BA2," like any good tool of educational enlightenment, has visibly upped the ante in terms of challenge.

DAYTON, Wash. — Nineteen-year-old Kevin Gowan spent his summer in the sky, looking down from 260-foot wind turbines at Puget Sound Energy's first wind farm.

And on top of his amassing acclaim and credit for designing a 20-foot-tall wind turbine in Bellingham Bay, he can now add professional experience to his belt.

François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand (September 4, 1768 – July 4, 1848) was a French writer, politician and diplomat. He is considered the founder of Romanticism in French literature.

Early life and exile
Born in Saint-Malo, the last of ten children, Chateaubriand grew up in his family's castle in Combourg, Brittany. His father, René de Chateaubriand (1718-86), was a former sea captain turned ship owner and slave trader. His mother's maiden name was Apolline de Bedée. Chateaubriand's father was a morose, uncommunicative man and the young Chateaubriand grew up in an atmosphere of gloomy solitude, only broken by long walks in the Breton countryside and an intense friendship with his sister Lucile.

Read Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe, Tome I by François-René de Chateaubriand, in French, one of three of his works available free from Project Gutenberg.
