In case you've been too busy playing on your PS3, renowned iPhone hacker George "Geohot" Hotz is in the middle of a heated lawsuit with Sony. Geohot "jailbroke" the Sony PS3 and circumvented Sony's DRM. The ramification of his exploit is that Sony is now suing Geohot for "encouraging piracy" on their platform.
Geohot has done another interview on The Alyona Show in which he addresses the issues with the Sony debate and clarifies his stance on the subject. Check out the video after the break.

With Apple's iPad 2 event officially kicking off next week, the folks over at Engadget have been tipped additional details regarding the event.
According to Engadget, not only will Apple announce the iPad 2, it will also preview iOS 5 at the media event, which will be held Wednesday, March 2nd, at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco...
It's a big day for Apple. The industry titan has released new MacBookPro models, an OS X Lion preview has been seeded to develepors, and the man himself, Steve Jobs, turns 56 years old today!
The world would be a much different place without Steve's influence on the technology sphere. He has been quoted admitting he never knew he would have such success when he started Apple with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in a garage circa 1976.
If you've been looking forward to some of the goodies contained in iOS 4.3 -- Apple's latest firmware for the iPhone and other devices -- then no doubt this will be music to your ears.
It appears that iOS 4.3 has finally gone gold, meaning that the firmware has been tested and finalized.
This indicates that we could see iOS 4.3 released to the public in the very near future -- next week, even...
We've been talking about the iPad 2 for while now, or at least we've heard rumors about it, but there's one thing we haven't speculated about: it's name. We all call it iPad 2 but do you really think Apple didn't come up with something a little more original for such a flagship product?
Early reports and leaks claim that the iPad 2 will be much thinner. Could it then be named "iPad Air"? If I had to take a guess, I'd say the name of the iPad 2 will actually be "iPad II". It's pronounced the same but it's spelled differently.
What do you think? Can you predict the name of the iPad 2?
Apple is working on prettying up San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center where it will unveil the iPad 2 next Wednesday. These pictures from 9to5Mac show the banners being hung on the walls.
Besides introducing the iPad 2, Apple will most likely release iOS 4.3, give us a sneak peak at iOS 5, and maybe give us an update about the mythical white iPhone 4.
MyGreatFest is going to be the world's first jailbreak and iCommunity convention. The event will take place on September 17, 2011 in London, UK.
The conference is still being organized, but the MyGreatFest team promises that their convention will be an educational and fun experience for any iDevice user. They already have the one and only Jay "saurik" Freeman confirmed as a keynote speaker for the convention (he invented jailbreaking). So, we know they mean business.
Feeling a bit nostalgic about the iPhone 2G? Rejoice because today is the day where you can turn your iPhone 4 into an original iPhone. Well, kinda. The folks at iStickr have created a decal for iPhone that replicates the look and feel of the back of the iPhone 2G with aluminum finish.
That's probably as close as you'll get to an iPhone 2G, and this for just about $10...
In the latest Apple patent news, two recently awarded patents have revealed future plans for the iPhone. Apple appears to be working on some sort of "e-Wallet" application. It also seems that the "Photo Booth" application from Mac OS X will be coming to iOS.
Some type of Apple-designed mobile payment app corroborates the rumors that NFC technology will be implemented into the iPhone 5. When the iOS 4.3 beta was released, 9to5 Mac found two Photo Booth-related frameworks in the firmware. This new Photo Booth patent only affirms that we will in fact be able to use the dorky filters that Photo Booth has to offer on our iPhones.
We already knew the iPad was the fastest selling gadget ever and today we get a better glimpse at what the money generated by this wonderful device.
