Kid Hacker Takes On Steve Jobs

Meet Ari Weinstein, a super smart 15-year-old hacker who is currently going toe-to-toe with the head geek himself, Steve Jobs. Weinstein and a group of hackers have just released software that will let Apple owners "jailbreak" their iPhones and iPods touches–which will let them install programs not approved by Apple. While Weinstein, who got his iPod touch on his Bar Mitzvah, is admittedly awesome–he’s hardly the first Jewish computer genius. In fact, he comes from a long line. Check out four Hebrew hackers below:

1). Hackers (1995)

Emmanuel Goldstein (a.k.a. Cereal Killer), played by Matthew Lillard

2). Live Free Or Die Hard (2007)

3). The Italian Job (2003)

4). Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
