Sony drops lawsuit against Geohot - XPERIA X10 General

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/04/sony-settles-ps3-lawsuit/
isn't his a bad thing? seeing that Geohot was going to crack the bootloader

He was not going to crack the bootloader.
He said it once to appease fans, get over it.
You geohot fanboys/fags are retarded

not only that, but this is more PS3 related then android in anyway...if you read ANY of the legal docs you would know all of geohots computers/equipment was confiscated during the trial, and i doubt that he would go out buy a pc just so he could crack the bootloader, AND not only that, he said the REASON he bought the x10 was to get a feel for the security so he could crack the play. BUT since the play's bootloader should already be unlocked it really doesnt matter.

This comes down to sony and SE taking a piss on their customers.
Nothing more.
SE deserves no respect.

I think it doesnt mean anything to us..but it would be interesting to see if he could do something interesting with an X10

Thats the guy with ADD and brags about his iq of 170 or something...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

It's not bragging it's informing.
Did i insult him? no.. only weak minded fools would attack someone for talking about something that is not even related to himself.
Or let me guess he's emperor of sony, bow down to him and give him a oil change.
Can we please go back to the subject topic.

How am I not related to Sony Ericsson? I have an X10, among other Sony products.
You are the one who went completely off topic, and turned them dropping the charges to pissing on their own customers.
This action by Sony is the third step in recent weeks to right their former mistakes. Whether the GEOhot decision is directly related to the bootloader opening or the gingerbread update remains to be seen, but they most certainly are not pissing on their customers. It is actually quite the opposite.
For someone who brags about an IQ of 170, you really seem to be illogical and immature.

*sigh*
SE announces Gingerbread update for X10, some people are unhappy.
Sony drops lawsuit against Geohot, same people are unhappy.
*sigh*

Sorry I am a weak minded fool with ADD! Im so insecure. Do you know what stephen hawking has to say about your iq?
Hawking was asked about his IQ in a 2004 newspaper interview, and replied, "I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers." Yet when asked "Are you saying you are not a genius?", Hawking replied "I hope I'm near the upper end of the range."
But props to geohot. Not a god but deserving recognition. I wonder if anon made an impact at all?

It's impressive how threads go from Zero to Trolling in less than 5 posts.
Sony is trying to do some PR damage control. Sony HAS to do something about the hack because it's a public company and answers to stockholders. It really is that simple. No one in this story has to be evil. No one in this story needs to brag about an IQ of 170.
The fact that suing the hacker in no way prevents further hacking of the PS3 was an oversight that Sony's top management forgot to consider when they panicked. But they needed to react in SOME way.
I agree: suing a kid for meddling with proprietary software was not the smartest way to prevent further hacking. Sony seems to have patched the security flaw with the latest firmware and has let every other GeoHot wannabe that there WILL be repercussions if they try to **** with their console security again.

Actually bragging about your high IQ is the sign of insecurity.

my point is that Geohot will never be able to tamper with any sony products ever again..

I don't think the second link is a hoax - read the article.
It says the suit is going forward, no shocker there, and that a ban COULD happen if HTC is found to be violating the patents.
It really doesn't do anything but undermine the original article posted which states the ban is in effect. This thing is going to take a while to flush out - and it's something a court would have to order....the first link is either a hoax or entirely inaccurate.
I hope google decides to weigh in on this by updating iPhone/iPad variants of their products to no longer work..
Of course that would never happen. Google isn't evil
ITs fake. Nice joke...I'm sure Engadget would have picked it up also.

Farewell to My Fellows from the Forum

I went for HTC Desire. There will be probably another member coming here as I sold my X10. I wish you all the best of luck and hope the update will be worth the wait. I simply did not have the patience. Desire is a wonderful piece of a phone. What I am sorry for is the big screen of X10. I still cannot get used to the smaller one.
All the best and hope SE will change their attitude for the better!

Exactly - why do people spend so much time complaining about each other...
People are free to say what they want to, but in the right places. I agree that we shouldn't allow so many repetitive threads to pop-up, but if there is no alternative, then why not?
the guy just wants to inform us he sold his x10. Wish him the best of luck with the new phone. I might just do the same tomorrow don't have the patience to wait longer for 2.1
Goodbye tvachev. My patience would have gotten the best of me too if money allowed it too. I simply can't afford to go out and buy a $x00 phone, and not a lot of people want to purchase this one. I hope you enjoy the new piece of hardware.
There is hostility on this forum that's for sure, but know we aren't all as such. Farewell!
Good luck with your new phone.
But i agree that there is no need for this kind of thread.

BUT I agree with the OP that there is no need for such hostility. This seems to happen when ever anyone says anything negative about their x10. Why can't people just be allowed to have their opinion whether they like the phone or not.

So who wants to team up with me and buy all the 1.6 x10's that are making baby jesus cry, and then sell them all back to the same losers at twice the price once we're on 2.1??
Sigh. There's a difference between being negative about the phone while being mature and the glut of "F$#@ SE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111" posts that I ***** about.
Say all you want about the lack of multitouch, 65k colors, or "low" call volume. Be as negative as you want... but it lacks completely class if your posts consist of "SE RAPED MY SISTER BY DELAYING 2.1". The people who are calling for "free flow" of opinions are the ones who ***** the absolute most.
I'd say 90% of this forum is far *****ier than me, if you read the posts on here. Y'all will never be happy, with anything. I can't wait until SE releases an update that gives you $1000 everytime you turn it on. People will complain that $1000 isn't enough.

Only problem with that is by the time the X10 gets the 2.1 other phones will be running gingerbread and the value for the X10 will drop even more.

oh BTW.. this post..
You are forgetting all SE system apps that legally bound to be protected for the developers, including the CAMERA. SE also has a legal responsibility to protect Apple's patent on Multitouch, which I know there is still argument if it is a hardware issue or a bootloader issue. Nonetheless SE still has a legal responsibility to enforce its agreements with partners made before the device ever hit the market. Period.

No harm in that as long as you take ownership of the mistakes(which you have).

You're in Singapore, what do you care? I think this patent war could indeed become a problem if something like this happens. Obviously, people will be screwed, because they will be left with a choice between lousy and expensive iPhones(new one every year, yay!), honestly *crappy* Blackberries, and what... Symbian?.. Get out of here!! While I'm guessing this will be resolved by a few million greenies going from the bank account of company A to the bank account of company B, I dare not predict what would happen, if a judge actually rules for Apple's plea.. That would cause some serious sh*tstorm on the market, and towards that judge, and also in my opinion, it's a clear attempt at unfair competition from Apple.
P.S. Why is this topic even here in the GT540 forum?

If people that insecure that they need to argue over whose phone is better in an online newspaper article, then they need to find something better to do with their time.
Apple fanboys are probably the most rabid of all fanboys. It's like trying to convince a Christian that there is no God.
