Oh god I was laughing my ass off at that. He's totally my favorite too. Has been since we learned why he did the limerain jailbreak early.
Agreed. He is a huge inspiration for future hackers out there that want to hack for either A)Knowledge B)For a good cause I personally do it for Knowledge.
I love how when he released limera1n just before the shATTER exploit, people were calling him names like egohot and such. Then, after a few weeks, people came to their senses and realized that it would have been terrible to burn shATTER as it only worked on A4 devices. He's great.
Agreed... I've noticed that there was literally a point in history when one day, he was the worlds most epic prick, and the next day, a god amongst men. I will say this... Track record shows that he is, in fact, a freakin genius, and track record also shows that he is kind of a prick, but who cares if he is a prick. Most of us will never be on the same level as that guy...
Reminds me of Sherlock Homes. Also reminds me of...the hero who defeats "the system" and changes the world. Him...I want to be.
