PS3 Hacked? 296
Several readers have sent word that George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot), the hacker best known for unlocking Apple's iPhone, says he has now hacked the PlayStation 3. From his blog post:
"I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. 3 years, 2 months, 11 days...that's a pretty secure system. ... As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG."

... We are also grossly underpaid for the amount of work and the level of qualifications, so I can't really fault someone for this, but it is double dipping.
By what standard do you claim that you are grossly underpaid? Most engineering / science professors I know (in the United States) live very comfortably and have unbelievably flexible schedules. Non-tenure-track instructors in the humanities are a different case altogether. You are, of course, always welcome to choose a job which provides a better lifestyle.

Maybe a hat or tee-shirt should be required for anyone wearing make-up in public just so that it doesn't women (and some men) to hate their complexion!
