X-Box Private Key Challenge Ended

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday January 7, 2003 @02:27AM from the no-surrprise-there dept.

powerlord writes "The Neo Project (mentioned in a recent slashdot article) recently stopped its bid to recover the X-Box private key citing legal reasons: "Due to legal reasons, we will no longer be hosting or participating in the xbox challenge." DCers.com, a site devoted to distributed computing sheds some light on Neo's sudden flip-flop with a blurb claiming that: "... many legitiment DC'ers that have been working this project since it started that have decided to quit because of the new Neo client that also tries to crack the X-Box encryption." and that they believed this might ultimately kill The Neo Project."

I guess the XBox commercial slogan "Life is short" applies to everything xbox related, and not just the console itself

"Life is Short" applies to anything Micro$haft dislike in the slightest. With the backing of the lobbyism and a rightist government, life is easy.

Netscape, Java, freedom anyone?
