GeoHot Says Goodbye To The Jailbreak Community

I really wish he had never released his ps3 hack. It made the lives of those who actually use otheros much harder.

Can anyone explain to me why people think he's egocentric? As far as I can see he just wants to share things with a technical community rather than with a bunch of teenage beggars. If he was so egoistic he wouldn't be closing down everything that gives him attention, no?

I don't think he'd shy away from the description of having a big ego. His posts are full of teasing, gatekeeper'esque type antics.

Heck, he chose the Kanye song "I've Got a Big Ego," as the BG track for one of his recent videos.

He's made it so easy for jailbreakers, they don't respect how much time & work goes into doing what he does. It's that sense of entitlement that lends to him not feeling appreciated and shutting it down (for now).

Screenshots of 140 character text messages?! Kids these days.

We'll see him again. No one that talented retires 'forever'.

Please tell that to why the lucky stiff.

On the last day?

How do you know he's not doing things under a different name now?

It's retirement from a hobby. He can do other things!
