The big buzz in Apple Technologyland is the new pentalobe screw. Apple has patented the screw which means that it should be illegal to import a screw driver which can turn the screw. Hackers should be up to the challenge and I'm curious as to whether a classic jail house trick would be able to turn the screw.
The part of the story which may generate a law suit is statemetn that the original screws will be replaced with pentalobe screws if an Apple device is brought in for repair at an Apple store.
I found the story on The Consumerist and Computerworld.
