Former Apple Intern and iPhone Hacker Comex to Work for Google

[MrNomNoms]

Glad he's gone from Apple. Hopefully he didn't have any "classified" access while at Apple.

How about reading the full sentence:

...enough to ever want to hack it.

He likes Android but not enough to justify spending his free time hacking around on it. I like Amiga's but it isn't enough to justify me ever wanting to go out and buy one - it doesn't change the fact that I still like them.

Didn't anyone at Google spring up their ears when the word "Hacker" came to light ?

 

[sulpfiction]

Seems arrogant to me! Forgot to reply? Never liked Android?

I never liked Android. And I'm not arrogant.

Wow, Harry Potter really let himself go.

Personally I think he resembles a young Steven Page (of Barenaked Ladies fame)...

"Its been one week since Google hired me, interning to bring Apple secrets for free..."

Not likely. He was an intern......the bottom of the food chain.

Sounds like Steve Jobs.

 

[Sedrick]

Wow, what's with all the 'interning'? Sounds like the new word for 'park your ass until we see if you're worth hiring in some capacity'. You'd think his resume would speak for itself by now. Apparently not...

 

[whatever]

So what, who cares?

If the kid was really smart he wouldn't be just an intern.

 

[eleven59]

Still a intern? How long does it take to graduate from Hogwarts?

ohh about 7-8 films...

 

[flottenheimer]

He's not a designer. He's a hacker. Android isn't great, but it's light years ahead of that crappy OS Apple keeps using. Personally wouldnt want either in their current states.

I know what he is.
So, what OS are you running?

 

[DaDougieDude]

arrogance won't bring you far

he does sounds arrogant

 

[tranceking26]

All I want to know is, how can you forget to send an email!?!?!

If I had a chance to keep working for one of the richest companies in the globe, I'd at least click the 'flag button' or reply straight away. There is no chance in this day and age you could miss an email (unless hotmail marks it as junk I guess ;-) )

Whoever he is he seems to be a douche and the harry potter jokes are funny

 

[Lennholm]

Because, from the looks if it, the guy needs to shave and comb his hair for one!

Simple-minded vanity has no place in progressive business, or in today's society for that matter.

Why do I have the feeling that he was hired at Google in order for them to steal the secrets of iOS?

Because you're an Apple sheep who's knee-jerk reaction is to make negative assumptions about anything and anyone that is not part of the Apple cult?

This x1000. If he were really a prodigy then he would have had a full time offer, and they would have followed up with more than an email. He has done some pretty public work, but that doesn't mean there are 10,000 people out there doing better work on the private side of things.

Also, the whole "Oh Google hired him to steal his secrets!" is a stupid conspiracy theory that I expect from the crazies part of the apple crowd. Please. He was an intern, not full time, with clearly little job security. My bet is he didn't get access to much.

So, why is this news? College student gets internship, then gets a second! HE MUST BE STEALING DATA!

I highly suspect you're giving the director of Google's intern program more credit than deserved, if you really think that much thought has been given to any individual intern (read: college student), including Comex.

The dude's an INTERN, which generally means they're not in charge of top-secret projects, or ripping off trade secrets of competitors, etc. Instead, the intern is checking the company out as a summer hire, working FOR the employer. While the intern program is designed to identify prospective future hires, it's not like they hand the intern the keys to their corporate secrets.

 

[lancebukkake]

Dude is SET.

He's still an intern - not really SET.

 

[tekboi]

If he hates android so much and is interning for google... the obvious move would be to help improve the mobile OS as he sees fit.

Wow, Harry Potter really let himself go.

Sweet that Harry Potter doesn't like android. He's gonna play his wand out.
