It appears that Sony is at least looking into acquiring talent from the hacking scene.
Sony America recruiter Sarah McRae sent an email off to Android OS hacker Koushik Datta (aka Koush) offering an interview for a position on Sony's R&D team.

They even consider something like this without taking into account that it would actually be beneficial to them to hire an actual PS hacker. Instead, they "attempt" to hire a hacker of another system, and get outright shunned. Serves them right...
And I just have to add... is there any explanation to why Sony is doing everything ass backwards as of late?

I like how the email before the @ has been removed yet in the "sent" message - gmail only shows the bit before the @ - so an attempt to hide the email address has been thwarted.

Don't forget about the playstation phone running on android. Thats probably why their looking in that specific area for talent. I was looking forward to that phone awhile ago, now I think I'll pass lol.

Yeah...Wonder if he got a response offering to pay him up front via a money order for $10k over the amount if he agreed to wire $2k of it to her uncle in Nigeria?
Who knows? Maybe it's legit...lol
Just my $0.02,

Oh who cares about Geohot he's F'n usless at hacking.
The real hackers laugh at him behind his back, even Failoverflow have said he's simply using their hack and adjusted it, to get the key.
Now he's banging on about being the first person to ever hack an Android phone, the edited by ddp is living in dreamland as just about every Android phone released has been hacked by someone other than Geohot.
He acts like he's the only person who can hack something do could ever hack something and do it.
I read up on other Iphone hackers complaining about his shitty iphone hacks that edited by ddp up your Iphone memory as it's a mem hack that after a while edited by ddp the phone up and you have to wipe everything.
Where as other hacks don't do this and you don't have any problems in the future.
In Australia you can ask for your Iphone to be unlocked for free anyway it's just a pain in the ass way of doing it.

You, sir, sound quite like a Sony-employed troll.

geohot does not make finished products...he makes tools for others to use, he exposes hacks for others to exploit. Using one of his firmwares as a day-to-day OS is usually a bad idea.
