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.....

your obviously just a leecher that wants a cfw again. do some real man work like getting a job and buying a 3.55 ps3 if you want cfw so badly

Thats just Awesome!! He fuks sony over big time and now they're offering to give him such a huge security risk position in the company? what an excellent world we live in :ha!:

1st of all, Don't call them *leecher* or so on before you ask them
Secondly, I am not a leecher and I have a 3.55 asshole,
3rd of all, If I was a smart hacker/coder/scripter, i'd want to piss sony off.

just because you have a 3.55 dont mean you cant be a lecher any1 can be a lecher

I'm sorry but I am pretty sure you wouldn't want to annoy sony if you could. They are a multi-billionaire company, you are just some random kid to them. They could screw your life over so badly.

what if he can convince Sony to allow emulators or other things JB allowed though? if he works for/with them, he can more easily make suggestions, then do like a petition signing or something. even if he doesn't oh well. get over yourselves about no jb..
and for the people saying stuff like piss sony off, if you did that, you wouldnt have shit in your life. and idiots like alot of you that used jailbreaking for illegal shit is what makes companies not want to give anyone freedom. abusing stuff like an exploit is ignorant.

Well its my choice. If I was, I'd he pissing off sony. But I ain't.

For what reason? Sure, having a system where you have full access to it is great but if there was another one all it would do is make the multiplayer of most games useless again.

GeoHot Is So Asome I Love His JB! And His Music Video He Uploaded That Made ME Roar!
