The ultimate combination of pranks and electronics, and the escapade that helped to create Apple, was launched one Sunday afternoon when Wozniak read an article in Esquire that his mother had left for him on the kitchen table. It was September 1971, and he was about to drive off the next day to Berkeley, his third college. The story, Ron Rosenbaum's "Secrets of the Little Blue Box," described how hackers and phone phreakers had found ways to make long-distance calls for free by replicating the tones that routed signals on the AT&T network. "Halfway through the article, I had to call my best friend, Steve Jobs, and read parts of this long article to him," Wozniak recalled. He knew that Jobs, then beginning his senior year, was one of the few people who would share his excitement. A hero of the piece was John Draper, a hacker known as Captain Crunch because he had discovered that the sound emitted by the toy whistle that came with the breakfast cereal was the same 2600 Hertz tone used by the phone network's call-routing switches. It could fool the system into allowing a long-distance call to go through without extra charges. The article revealed that other tones that served to route calls could be found in an issue of the Bell System Technical Journal, which AT&T immediately began asking libraries to pull from their shelves.
恶作剧与电子技术的终极结合——也是促成苹果公司成立的疯狂表演——在一个周日的下午启动了,当时沃兹尼亚克看到了母亲给他留在厨房桌子上的《君子》杂志上的一篇文章。当时是1971年的9月,他正准备第二天出发去伯克利,他的第三所大学。那篇文章——罗恩罗森鲍姆写的《小蓝盒的秘密》——描绘了黑客和电话飞客是如何通过模拟AT&T(美国电话电报公司)网络上接通线路的特定音频免费拨打长途电话的。“这篇长文刚读到一半的时候,我就给我最好的朋友乔布斯打电话,然后读了一部分给他听。”沃兹尼亚克回忆说。他知道,那时候已经开始读高中四年级的乔布斯一定也会非常兴奋。 文中有一个关键人物:约翰德雷柏,他是一名黑客,外号“咔嚓船长”,这是因为,他发现早餐麦片附赠的哨子发出的声音与电话网络中用以传输呼叫的开关发出的音频是一样的,都是2600赫兹。这样就可以骗过系统,允许长途电话接通,而不产生额外费用。文章中还提到,其他一些可以作为内部控制的单音频信号的信息,可以在《贝尔系统技术期刊》中找到。而AT&T公司立刻要求各地图书馆将这本期刊下架。
