Apple's experiment with employing a hacker famous for jailbreaking the iPhone has ended.

Nicholas Allegra, also known as Comex, was hired at Apple after gaining fame with the JailBreakMe, a Web site that simplified the process of removing Apple-installed protections from the phone -- a practice Apple opposes. When Apple hired him as an intern in August 2011, Allegra was a high-profile member of the jailbreaking community, regularly publicizing security vulnerabilities in Apple's iOS software.

However, Apple ended the 20-year-old Brown University student's employment last week, Allegra revealed today.

"So... no point in delaying. As of last week, after about a year, I'm no longer associated with Apple," he tweeted this afternoon. "As for why? Because I forgot to reply to an email," he wrote in a follow-up tweet.

"I wasn't too happy about it, but it didn't seem like I was able to fix it," he told Forbes. "So that's what it is."The e-mail he didn't reply to was an offer to extend his employment at Apple as a remote intern, Allegra told Forbes. After not responding to the original e-mail, he learned that the offer had been rescinded.

CNET has contacted Apple for comment and will update this report when we learn more.

Hackers have proven to be popular hires at tech companies these days. Charlie Miller, famous for his hacks on the iPhone and MacBook Air, joined Twitter last month, and well-knownPlayStation 3 hacker George Hotz, a.k.a. Geohot, had a brief stint at Facebook last year.

iPad 3 Will Equipped With Retina Display

Rumor said iPad 3 will release by Apple on early 2012. The iPad 3 will feature an HD retina display with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution display, as we knew that iPad 2 only has a 1024 x 768 resolution display. The Suppliers said that Apple has placed orders for a 9.7-inch screen device.

Apple would release the iPad 3 in 2012?

Apple plans to release the IPAD takes 3 in 2012, with a much improved user interface technology. It ‘was the news that the iPhone will not see the production in May to almost unbearable in September? If so, be prepared. DigiTimes claims that Apple claims that the IPAD  3 “will not appear in the short term.” Open to interpretation of sound? It is not. To put it bluntly: “The current products are unlikely to appear in 2011.”

As a consolation prize, however, there are some rumors about the new specification IPAD 3. As a retinal display may be out of the picture, once more, there is speculation that Apple plans to use a “AMOLED panel or support Full HD resolution” for the tablet is coming. From the sounds of it, Apple is dedicated to providing superior image quality – which may constitute a conflict. AMOLED technology largely outside the control of Samsung, a producer who just happens to be a real competitor to Apple in the market for Tablet PC. That said, the Korean company has stopped selling Apple’s $ 7.8 billion the value of parts in the past.
