请教

2 月21日一期的Newsweek (提前出版) 中有篇文章 Hunting the Hackers，报道最近发生的黑客攻击事件。
其中有二个短语，意思不明。手头工具书有限，查了几本，均未查到。 请教各方家。
1.To get on the horn with
Yahoo's operations team, four engineers led by cofounder David Filo (with an $8 billion stake in the company, surely the richest repairman in the world), got on the horn with GlobalCenter, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based service that hosts Yahoo's machines.

2.To get one’s chips off
Malicious hackers. Launching an assault on someone's computer or Web site without an apparent financial gain is a hallmark of "black hat" hackers, who get their chips off by using a crummy laptop machine to ruin the days of e-commerce moguls like Jeff Bezos.
