Despite his Sony lawsuit and iPhone hacking, George Hotz (perhaps better known as the hacker GeoHot) was hired by Facebook. He has been working for the company since May. He hasn’t said much about the job except posting a Facebook status that “Facebook is a really amazing place to work.” Techunwrapped speculates that Hotz is connected with Facebook’s upcoming iPad app.

Sony Corporation is threatening to sue anybody that posts the jailbreak code of the PlayStation 3 gaming console. Sony is demanding that a federal judge orders Google to surrender the IP addresses of those who viewed or commented about the jailbreak on a private YouTube video. Sony also wants Twitter to provide the identities of the a host of hackers that announced a limited version of the hack in December. Sony filed a lawsuit against 21 year old New Jersey hacker George Hotz. Hotz published the PlayStation 3 code and a how-to video last month. “The discovery they call for in my opinion is overbroad,” stated Hotz’s attorney Stewart Kellar. [Wired]

George Hotz, the man behind Blackra1n created a solution that can easily hack into the iPhone and unlock it. He was the first hacker to unlock the iPhone too. Now he says that he has found a way to hack into the Apple iPad. Hotz did not specify when he would release the pad hack, but he did say he would be as simple as Blackra1n. “It is completely untethered, works on all current tethered models (ipt2, 3gs, ipt3), and will probably work on iPad too,” said Hotz in a blog post.
