Two high school students, 17-year-old Daniel Fukuba and 16-year-old Eric Vicenti, are reportedly banned for life from all Apple Stores worldwide after they jailbroke an iPhone on the sales floor. Earlier this week, the two teens and a friend were waiting around with nothing to do, so they passed the time by walking into the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California. In order to demonstrate the functionality of the iPhone to their classmate, they jailbroke a demo unit over WiFi and downloaded the racing game Raging Thunder.
