Hope you like it."

Explains how he hacked the iPhone and the PS3, how Sony reacted, and then how Anonymous fought back. It also explains Hotz's ambivalence about Anons. “I’m George Hotz. Everything I do is aboveboard, everything I do is legit.” The piece ends with Hotz meeting with Sony and explaining his methodology."
