The Saga of George "geohot" Hotz has reached its Natural conclusion only

6:37 AM Posted by Mario Galarza

In recent months, we had a bit of fun at the expense of George "geohot" Hotz, the disquete-pelo, hackster hip-hopping that started the big Kerfuffle network PlayStation 2011 by cracking of PlayStation 3 firmware unlock tools for others to do the same, getting sued by Sony on these tools and thus inspired a band travelling hooligans of the Internet to begin the mockery and screwing with the console manufacturer.

Don't lie: You totally missed us writing news stories about this dude.Don't lie: you totally lost us write news stories on this guy.

Of course shit has a little more real when real hackers stole real vital information relating to users of PlayStation 3 reales. At that time, all became much less fun. Well, Hotz statements about that quite funny hack, really were. But the rest was entirely serious.

Anyway, after resolved its litigation with Sony and the above comment, Hotz entered radio silent mode. This is obviously because he went and got himself into a damn real work.

Confirmation of some rumors floating around the end of last week, representatives of Facebook announced today that Hotz has gone to work for the company. Their exact company role was not revealed, but it is presumed that you can be working in the Mobile Division of the company, specifically in the Facebook app next iPad. It would make some sense, given previous provisions of Hotz to jailbreaking iPhones.

It is really a perfect fit, given Facebook head honcho history of Mark Zuckerberg himself as an encoder for mocking authority back in his college days. One could easily see the two of them become friends, going on dates coding together and curling the hair of others.

Still, that is somewhat a final anticlimactic for the antics of the games industry itself Dennis the threat. Some of you out there were almost certainly waiting for more than one type of Thelma & Louise ending with victim of fellow lawsuit Hotz Alexander Egorenkov of "graf_chokolo" (which is still being sued by the way and also probably will go to jail), but let's be realistic about this. A desktop workspace nice and quiet in a major media company is probably more reasonable.

Well, perhaps you can connect to teammate Alexander with a job too! You know, so it can pay their fees. And, do not go to jail.
