Thus, we’ve got all of the details right here.
George Hotz, the famed iPhone jailbreaker and Android, PS3 hacker, has just joined Google’s Project Zero team of hackers. Better known as Geohot, he was the guy who successfully jailbroke first iPhone.

As tech rivalries go, Apple and Samsung are two of the fiercest adversaries in the game, and with the Cupertino outfit having recently put down a cool $3 billion to acquire Beats Electronics, it was somewhat inevitable that its Korean counterpart would retaliate with a similar endeavor. Just a few weeks after the Apple-Beats deal was made official, Samsung has responded with an audio hardware announcement of its own, and despite the Galaxy maker's famously extravagant spending when it comes to advertising new products, the new "Samsung Level" range hasn't, for once, forced the Tizen maker to dip so deeply into its apparently bottomless pit of funds.
