Sony Hacker GeoHot Now Working at Facebook

George Hotz, better known in some circles as GeoHot, garnered quite a lot of attention when he was sued by Sony for his PlayStation 3 hack. However, it seems things are going quite well for the 21-year-old now.

Hacker George Hotz is best known for his work in cracking the iPhone and the PS3, but it seems he's now picked up a day job at Facebook. TechUnwrapped reports that Joshua Hill, a member of the Chronic-Dev Team group responsible for iOS jailbreak tool greenpois0n, said during a recent interview that Hotz had declined a challenge to find a bootrom exploit for the iPad 2. Hotz apparently said no because he wanted to keep publicity to a minimum and focus on his day job at Facebook.

VOTW: A Dual-screen Folding Smartphone Tablet

We’ve seen dual-screen tablets from several companies but have we seen a dual-screen, folding phone?

This is a tablet phone prototype from a company called Imerj. The device is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone that can turn into a 6-inch tablet at a moments notice. When in its smartphone state, the Imerj prototype is about 50 percent thicker than an iPhone. When unfolded, it’s thinner than a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (one of the skinniest tablets available today).

Specswise, you’re looking at two 4-inch WVGA AMOLED displays, a dual-core TI OMAP CPU (clock speed not yet known), 1GB of DDR3 RAM, up to 128GB of storage, and a 1,750mAh battery. No word on pricing and availability just yet, but we’ll let you know if we hear anything.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbhaWn_AWQw&feature=player_embedded

USA Teaching 8-Year-Olds How to Be Hackers

Have things gotten so bad online security-wise that the government is now recruiting adolescents?

Want to teach your kids how to hack? There's a conference for that.

Reuters reports that the first-ever Defcon Kids conference will take place this August in Las Vegas, and will teach children ranging from ages eight to sixteen the basics of computer hacking, and how to protect themselves against cyber attacks. It will also serve as a recruiting farm for U.S. federal agents looking for the next-generation of "digital crime fighters."

Nokia's First Windows Phone 7 Device Leaked

Images and video of Nokia’s first Windows Phone 7 device have been leaked.

Earlier this week, Nokia was making a big fuss over the its first MeeGo device and the shipping dates for the latest version of its proprietary OS, Symbian Anna. However, it seems today has brought news of a much more interesting ‘first’ for Nokia -- the company’s first Windows Phone 7 handset.

Here are photos of Nokia’s first smartphone running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. Of course, anyone can take a couple of low quality photos and claim they depict an unreleased and highly anticipated handset. To that end, there’s also video footage that leaves very little doubt that this is the real deal. It shows Nokia CEO Stephen Elop unveiling the device at a private event. Despite the Chief Executive’s request to turn off all cameras because he was going to show something ‘super confidential [they] do not want to see it out in the blogosphere,’ one wily attendee managed to catch a glimpse of the phone on camera and has posted it to YouTube for all the world to see.

Wi-Fi Enabled Fridge is Equipped With Apps, LCD

Samsung's new fridge comes with apps!

We've seen some pretty cool futuristic refrigerator concepts out there such as the self-cleaningfridge, and the cooking assistant fridge, but who knows how long we'll have to wait to be graced with some of their technological wonders. It might be awhile until we can rely on our refrigerators to clean themselves out and teach us how to cook but Samsung has brought us one step closer to high tech refrigerator awesomeness.The brand new Samsung Wi-Fi equipped refrigerator features an impressive 8 inch touch screen that allows you to play with eight included applications: Memos, Photos, Epicurious, Calendar, WeatherBug, AP, Pandora and Twitter. These applications make your stop to the fridge much more organized and informative by allowing you to write and view memos, notes, and calendar reminders. You can even immediately update your twitter status for emergency situations! "@Cheeseloverxoxo HELPP!!! NO MORE CHEESE!!"

Samsung's innovative fridge can even enhance your dining experience by acting as a digital picture frame or lightening the mood with some Pandora music. Although the fridge doesn't do anything fancy like cook your meals or stock itself, Samsung's Wi-Fi Fridge would be a great addition to any tech lover's home. Unfortunately for the price of $3,499 for the four door and $2,699 for the two door, it may be cheaper and more efficient to mount an iPad on top of your existing refrigerator.
