REMOTE intern?
You're telling me this guy got to collect a fat apple paycheck and got to do it wherever he wanted?
i'd be mad too if i missed that offer letter. this is the type of thing that makes people move to blackhat, china, or possibly samsung.
Think about it.
The guy was essentially a hacker. A good one... that's why they gave him a 'job' in the first place.
It is my guess that Apple hired him "remotely" (not needing/wanting him to relocate or work on campus) probably because they did not want or trust a hacker wandering around Cupertino.
What they probably did want was to drain his brain of anything of security interest on the cheap and without any longterm obligation, hence....(ahem.), Intern.
One reason why he is probably no longer working at Apple is because the above scenario either worked out [for Apple] or did not, whichever way you chose to look at it.
Anyway, are we really calling this guy names etc, merely because he did not get / take up a longer term posting?
Really?
