What? He had EXACTLYT $10,000 left? Ok... I wouldn't bet Hotz hasn't kept some (or a lot) of that money for himself.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

He actually had less,  he claims he topped it off to a nice round number

Ok. I guess he's got some principles, then. Not that I agree with them (or with him in general), but I'll give him that.

Edit: if true ;-p

Sony didn't give up.  They set the demands, and geohot caved. No double side here.  Now you call geohot a kid when he is a legal adult?  Dude, you are making excuses and are selling out.


Except it makes no sense. What did Sony get out of blocking Geohot from hacking future sony products. When he hasn't even successfully hacked on yet?? I'm going to have to ask you for a link saying this was wha tthey were going for. 

And again, what does this have to do with me quoting the article?? 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

So Sony failed, but he did not fail to "protect the consumer rights"? I mean what did he claim that he was he fighting for?


What does thi shave to do with what I said?? I said he released this to taunt Sony. Then I went on to say how he taunted Sony. If you read the thread you would of seen me say nobody won. But I guess then you couldn't misquote me like this 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

Besides the fact that the titles of the article has the words "mocks Sony" in it. A few key quotes that could of only been thrown in to attempt to rile them up 

 "At the end of the day, something I take comfort in. The PS3 got OWNED,"

"'Once the code works they'll never be able to take it away from us.'"

"If you piss them off enough for them to pull out the legal team and their million dollar checkbook, worst thing that happens is you have to super swear to never do it again,"
