" After hacking into Sony's Playstation 3, George Hotz was hired by Facebook last June.
That gig didn't last long. He no longer works there.
So what is he doing in his free time?
Hacking.
Hotz was anything but bored at Backplane, a startup funded by Lady Gaga, where we ran into him this past Saturday. He told me he appreciated the space and the free pizza.
When Hotz waltzed in the door at Backplane, he introduced himself as the hacker who was sued by Sony, but he's most famous for releasing software that allows smartphone users to jailbreak their iPhone.
During the hackathon, I got to work with him as he built an app that allows you to see where your Facebook friends are on a map.
Aviv Ovadya, a Quora engineer, was also on the team. Ovadya focused on the front end mapping part of the program. Hotz was focused on getting the API info and programming that into location data. I helped advise them on its design and focused on documenting the process (see video footage below).
Hotz worked on making the map prettier, by making the actual photos of his Facebook profile friends appear. Another hacker suggested that Hotz filter the results by gender. So Hotz coded it to sort by female or male.
The app didn't win -- it lost out to a group of high school students."

In the video she has it all wrong, geohot is not the most famous hacker in the world ,lol
She may have said one of the most famous but so be it ?

kevin mitnick Is the most FAMOUS HACKER IN THE WORLD BY FAR = Legend !

Kevin Mitnick, the world's most wanted computer hacker, managed to hack into some of the country's most powerful—and seemingly impenetrable—agencies and companies. By conning employees into giving him private information and maneuvering through layers of security, he gained access to data that no one else could.

Praise from Publisher's Weekly

"It's the piquant human element that really animates this rollicking memoir of high-tech skullduggery. Mitnick (The Art of Deception) recounts his epic illegal computer hacks of Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment Corporation, and any number of cellphone makers; his exploits triggered a manhunt that made headlines. He insists he did it not for money but for the transgressive thrill of looking at big, secret computer programs--otherwise he apparently lived a threadbare existence on the lam--and the claim rings true; there's something obsessive and pure about his need to hack and brag about it to others, habits which eventually brought about his downfall."

The worlds most wanted kevin mitnick = A real hacker ...

Probably monkey dope to cope with the nerves that the court system attempted to give him.
