Alright so the big news coming out of the weekend for folks like me was this little posting by famous iPhone hacker George Hotz (known as Geohot). http://geohotps3.blogspot.com/

 

Folks, the Commodore is into system hacking. I’ve never done it myself mind you, as myself hacking a system like Xbox360 at my skill level would be akin to breaking into Fort Knox with a toothpick. But I enjoy the thought of making systems like these that are designed with specific feature sets in mind, do completely different and arguably more fun things like say homebrew software, APIs for web-facing applications like Pandora or Youtube, or even emulators that allow me to play games of old, reliving precious moments of my childhood. I’ve had an Xbox that’s been hacked for years and I use it for just about everything media center related. But for awhile now I’ve been looking for a replacement. And Mr. Hotz might have hit the target here.
