George "geohot" Hotz Arrested In Texas For Posession of Marijuana
n1ywb writes "Goerge 'geohot' Hotz, famous for being the first to jailbreak an iPhone and for his spat with Sony over PS3 jailbreaking, was busted for possession of a small amount of marijuana at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Texas on his way to SXSW. The shakedown goes like this: drug dogs are run around vehicles; when they signal, DHS searches the car and finds the contraband; DHS then turns evidence and suspects over to the local sheriff. Willie Nelson, actor Armie Hammer (who played the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network), and Snoop Dogg have all gotten in trouble at the same checkpoint under similar circumstances."
No! It's a conspiracy! It's Steve Jobs giving orders from beyond the grave. The 50 gazillion iPads collectively (like Communists!) form an etheric resonator network cloud designed to give meta-Steve control over the mind of anyone he chooses! In Mass Effect 3, if an iPad is placed near the XBox, you get a fourth rainbow-colored option at the end that converts the Reapers into giant Newtons! It's true! I *heard* about it! Now he's making candidate Rick Sanitarium vow to wipe out porn on the Internet.
Perhaps, but now he has to tell any future employers that he has a drug-related criminal record, which to their eyes is like being a ghetto gangsta incompatible with their clean, upstanding image.
...not that big game companies really radiate a clean, upstanding image anymore. DRM and crazy pricing schemes and "no you can't play this over a LAN but hey like us on facebook and you'll get exclusive shiny horse armor!" and all that.
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
