iPhone and PS3 hacker GeoHot now working at Facebook
It’s been a long career for the relatively young 21-year-old George Hotz, a.k.a. GeoHot.

Judge in Sony vs. Geohot orders YouTube and others to give up users’ personal info
Remember when Sony sued Geohot and demanded that YouTube hand over the user info of all the folks who posted comments to Geohot's PS3 jailbreak video? Well, score a victory for SCEA, as the judge overseeing the case's jurisdictional discovery process has ruled that Sony can get what it wanted -- information from: Bluehost (who hosts Geohot's website) regarding who downloaded the jailbreak, Twitter regarding any tweets made by Hotz, Google ...

The iPad 2 video Apple doesn’t want you to see
YouTuber ooLDE has made another of his banned videos -- the videos that Apple doesn't want you to see. Previously he made one for the iPhone 4 and the original iPad introduction. This one is a parody of the iPad 2 introduction video. I thought it was pretty funny, especially since it features Apple's only black and female employees. Make sure you watch it to the end.

PS3 Gets NTFS Support
This isn’t big news to anyone but PS3 hackers, but I wanted to include it just as a “ahhh yeah” shout-out to all the people fighting to use their hardware however they like. The PS3 is limited to FAT32 formatting, but with the release of this library , you can now hot-swap NTFS-formatted drives, making home development and backup easier — as well as perhaps allowing for easier playback of large video files.

PlayOn Officially Rolls Onto Android, Brings Netflix And Hulu With It
Given what Netflix has said so far, we know that Netflix for Android is coming… eventually . Even then, Netflix is still being a bit mysterious about which devices it’ll work on (though given their recent Qualcomm partnership, “things running a Snapdragon CPU” is a good guess.) In the meantime, there’s a work around of sorts: PlayOn . After months of beta testing, PlayOn for Android is now available. The catch: while the app is free, the service is not ($39.99 for the first year/$19.99 each year ...
