People might not remember, but around this time last year there was a massive news story breaking involving Sony and this person who went by the handle of GeoHot (real name George Hotz). Long story short, George managed to hack the Sony system to give people direct root access to the system—something that basically means that it can emulate whatever the user wants. There was a lawsuit, some additional hacking to the network in protest, and it all ended up with George getting a great job at Facebook to try and make sure the same thing didn’t happen there.

Well just this week Mr. Hotz sat down with a large group of engineers to talk about what they could do to make Sony, their network, and future products even safer. Interestingly enough GeoHot has received enough notoriety since the lawsuit that this meeting alone warranted an interview with some rather important newspapers (namely The New York Post). Directly after this case broke Hotz was quoted repeatedly saying that he would be more than happy to go and work with Sony to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening, and as odd as that sounds that kind of thing is what ends up happening 9 times out of 10 with these kinds of events.

Oh and if people are thinking this is geohot trying to get into sony HQ to get the new exploit around the console well you have another thing coming sony will make him sign a contract obviously today in this world if you work for the security of the software & hardware of any console/computer or machine on this earth you will need a contract stating a fine print saying "You fuck with us we fuck with you" not really that but im sure the message would be clear.....

So many retarded comments. wnage:

Seriously dude, try putting a sentence together without coming off as a retard, I really can't understand what you're saying. I suppose the dolan meme in your sig is an appropriate ending to all of your posts.



Yes he is. He fought to give us freedom with our consoles which he believed we were entitled to but then Sony came along with a paycheck and suddenly all of this has been forgotten. That's the height of hypocrisy.

Oh yeah, here's the meaning of hypocrisy, just so you're not too confused.

hy·poc·ri·sy   [hi-pok-ruh-see]
noun, plural hy·poc·ri·sies.
1.
a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.


He has a job at facebook. Did you even read the OP?


If you think that's all you can do with a Jailbreaked PS3 then you're not even worth arguing with. The point of him jailbreaking it again is to give us freedom with our systems, something he said he believed in. Here's a quote from him when he released his JB



Do I seriously have to reiterate this point again?


His word meaning nothing is the same as hypocrite. Please read what I have said above if you want the answer to this question.



I could care less if he does it again, he's done his job with 3.55. But if he's trying to prevent what he once fought for (Which is effectively what he's going to be doing if he works for Sony. I mean, they're hardly going to have him making coffee now are they?) then he's a huge hypocrite.


lol, with that grammar I'm probably older then you are.


You're damn right he isn't, he has a lovely job at facebook! Seriously, read the motherfucking OP.


I think you're trying to say he's not going to jailbreak the PS3 just so I won't say he's a hypocrite. If so you're right, he's going to do it because he said he believes in openness with our systems. There is a good quote I heard from him to back this up even further but I can't find it at the moment. Still my points are still 100% valid.

Geohot did say to the big 3 if you want a secure system give me a job and it looks like Sony was listening.

Geohot doesn't work for Facebook anymore look it up...He never fought for your freedom..Sorry my grammer was of in that message, I wrote it quite quick. Plus he is settled out of court with Sony to stay away from the ps3 so he may aswel help them prevent what him and his team did before.
