Accoring to the owner of the domain: “applematters.com”, the hacking of the domain was in fact a publicity stunt and therefore a hoax.
This is stated and explained in the new post: “A Bad PR Stunt” which can be accessed at:
http://www.applematters.com/index.php/section/comments/a-bad-pr-stunt/
The “iphonematters.com” domain has not yet been updated and as a result remains “hacked”. However, one can conclude by the owner of “applematters.com” (Hadley Stern)’s statement that this was also a hoax.

Really? i dont belive this.. i think its a viral market.

The defacer says “This website has been flagged for excessive Apple fanboism, and has been taken down for 24 hours.”

Why the site admin or the webmaster dont delete the index?. One of them are hosted in blogspot of google…WTF?
