Facebook is the last company I would have expected him to take a job from. This is like as if he took a job working at Sony.

  Well, I'd imagine he has quite a bit of lawyer bills to pay right now so a good paying job is probably a good idea for him. I don't see how you would think it equates to working for Sony. Facebook didn't take him to court.
  They're saying that he is going to be working on the iOS app, so at least he is doing something he knows. After thinking about it, I'm surprised something like this didn't happen sooner. He knows iOS pretty well, it only makes sense that he would get a job somewhere making apps for it, and Facebook is one of the bigger companies with a more hacker friendly attitude.

  Just because you don't like company A, and you don't like company B, doesn't mean that someone else working for B is like him working for A from his perspective.
  My understanding is that the distaste for Sony came from it trying to lock out developers and hackers who wanted to put their own stuff into the PS3 ecosystem. Facebook lets developers in*, the developers are just not allowed to take users out.
  * Seriously; it seems every third week,at some point navigating to facebook.com lands me on some kind of phishing page or scam poll. It'd be a lot easier for FB to avoid that kind of vulnerability if they were far more draconian about developer access.

  Hacking iOS and hacking the PS3 is quite different from developing end-user apps for it.
  They both require coding skills, and knowledge about software - yet when creating an app you're supposed to follow the guidelines, add a nice looking UI to it, etc. I see coding as a tool, no more. A tool to get something done. Building an app with nice UI means you need some UI skills. Building an app that hacks the underlying OS means you have crypto and system analyses skills.
  I'm writing an app for Android myself, but I don't know much about the technicalities of Android under the hood, nor do I see much of a need for anyone to deeply understand the OS. Google has nicely abstracted that for me through their API kit. No need to know how memory is allocated exactly, or how and when an app is closed automatically (other than knowing it may happen).

  If you think hardware-level or deep OS-level knowledge isn't important to coding effectively, you need to read a little. Especially on mobile platforms, the trick is getting every ounce of power out of the CPU. And no one said he went into UI development. If anything, the team that handles that does so across all platforms so that the aesthetic is the same throughout Facebook products. Lastly, the security he broke wasn't anything that most consumer-level electronics bother with. The PS3 was so heavily locked down because people typically modify computers at their leisure, but it was a game console, and it's "bad" to mod a game console.

  many mobile apps suck simply because they've been made exactly according to guidelines (which don't fit the program at all, like default android youtube player pausing when it goes out of focus). and you actually need to know on android where and how memory is allocated and what shenigans about app process life cycle are happening behind your back, you have to know what stuff you'd like to keep alive in memory and which you'd be happy to let go to the gc, to speed up switching back to the app - and by speeding up I also mean saving battery and cpu. i'm doing my first android stint and there's a need to deeply understand the os as well, some stuff just isn't in the api's(I thought I would never need to use cat but eh, i'm too lazy to install too many shell tools on my droid). and if doing a facebook always on application they are going to need all the trickery and knoweledge about how dalvik does what it does that they can get - to optimize power use and thus application practicality - some guy says that it's not where optimizations would matter because it's just a fb app - but that's exactly why they would matter and why going with a native client for chat etc is better than just doing a chromeless browser launcher to the site itself. the longer the app runs, the better it is. and it needs to be secure, but it needs to store credentials AND OTHER ANDROID APPS BETTER NOT GET A HAND ON THOSE CREDS!

  What security would that be? Facebook privacy settings?
  No, Facebook's privacy settings are, from the POV of Facebook, excellent. They give the illusion of privacy to encourage people to do things they wouldn't otherwise do. Which is the entire point - FB is less about providing a place to meet, but more a place to get people to willingly post information online to for data mining purposes.
  The old adage of "if you don't want the world to read it, don't post it online" is still true nearly 40 years later (when it used to refer to BBSes). The "privacy" settings Facebook offers is designed to encourage people to forget that fact.
  I suppose Facebook might be writing an enhanced Facebook app for jailbroken iOS devices though - one that integrates more things that Apple wouldn't allow so they can violate your privacy just that much more. After all, he knows the ins and outs of iOS to jailbreak...

  The only "hack" I can recall him coming up with was that if found if you solder a special device onto the motherboard and activated at the right moment, you could sometimes access a tiny bit of hypervisor memory from OtherOS. I don't know if he ever fully released that information or not, but it's not important - it went nowhere, fail0verflow cracked it before he did anything more. That was the "work done by others"; it's not really relevant, because with the information fail0verflow had already released any idiot could have found the master keys, he was just the first and loudest. The only reason people remember him as the one who cracked the PS3 is because of the legions of loud, annoying Sony fanboys crying out for his blood - being evidently stupid, most of took the "shoot the messenger" approach.

Re:Facebook apps won't suck? by gstoddart · 2011-06-27 03:28 · Score: 1

I greatly prefer logging into their website using a mobile browser than using that god awful app.
I actually tried installing a Facebook app over the weekend ... it more or less wanted to completely change all of my privacy settings, which I assume is a side effect of the way the platform APIs work.
So, if my choice is to use Safari to access Facebook, or let some app change all of my privacy settings to be much more permissive than I wanted ... well, it's not like it's tough to use it in Safari.
I won't attempt to install any applications related to Facebook any more, because apparently they only work if you open everything up. I explicitly set all of those things to be very restrictive in the first place for a reason.

Really?
I was pretty sure there was some NPDRM related stuff in the PS3 that had never been replicated.
Even so, I don't really disagree with you, but I also have no idea what the culture at facebook is like.

Thanks for raising the alarm. My settings are still on the Friends only for most and private for a few others so I'm not sure what you did that made it want to change your settings. But really thanks. It usually takes some kind of reminder for me to go in there and check to make sure facebook hasn't once again done a dodgy.
