How Apple Is Screwing Your iPhone

"... The company (iFixit) recently discovered that Apple has quietly switched the screws in the latest shipments of the iPhone 4 from a basic Phillips head to a tamper-resistant screw that you can’t remove with any screwdriver you’d buy at a hardware store.

The screw in question is called a “Pentalobe” (see right), a five-point head with a round shape resembling a daisy."

Not nice, but isn't it easy to 'make' such a screwdriver? If you really wanted to? Well at least I'm sure now, for me it's going to be the HTC.
