Paris Sidekick hacked, and sales go through the roof

Remember when Paris Hilton T-mobile account was cracked and I suspected that it might be marketing?

Well, that old saying there is no such thing as bad publicity has come true again, as Technews reports that: "Hacked Hilton a Boon for Telco". Shops in New York are selling out of sidekicks faster than anyone can say hotel-chain heiress. That the recent leak online of and X-rated video with Fred Durst also came from a hacked sidekick isn't stopping people from queing up to get their insecure devices. Weird.
