he missed out on a job opportunity…. in the email…. that he failed to reply to… yeah….
free-spirited jailbreaker or not, replying to an email about a job offer seems to be a pretty basic task

Only during Steve Jobs' tenure could you blow off an e-mail from Personnel. However, you would have to be a pretty valuable candidate for Steve to intercede on your behalf.
Personnel depts. don't like to be trifled with.

It is more of an ego thang - an iP hacker getting brought inside the Mother ship as it were. Everything else will likely be a step down. At least he will have an appreciation of the importance of responding to e-mails from Personnel.

It's ok, maybe he could start dev-ing for Android.

@ Droid x Doug
Exactly, you don't turn your nose up at your superiors in that type of environment. Atleast reply to them, thank them for the opportunity and ask them if you can have 24-48hrs to think it over, and speak about it with your significant other. Or in his case "partner" Haha!..
It simply breaks down to professionalism, respect, and being an adult. You need to have some humility and humor them regardless or not if you agree with how the games played

Apple got what they wanted. Think he didn't sign some documents relating to employment? Want to bet those documents preclude him from hacking Apple devices?

Hope he stops making jailbreaks for apple devices so everyone can see how useful this man is for their sales.

Apple sucks... All they wanna show is how they are "uniquely stupid"....

I'm going to put rivalry aside here, for a moment.
You know damn well what Apple is all about. You know how they pick and choose each of their employees, even in the Apple Store. Knowing that, why would you ignore anything they send you about your future employment?
I'm sorry but, this is completely his fault. He was given the opportunity, and he was negligent about it. There are thousands waiting in line to take that position. Bad mistake buddy.

You really think he just forgot to reply? He wasn't interested, that's all. Apple as a workplace is not exactly paradise.

Really? You must be foolish to think that he just simply "not interested" in this. Who would deny such an opportunity.
But above all, why is he complaining about it then?

I personally never got the mindset of guys like him and Geohot, who have opportunities to work with their companies and either decline the offers or purposely blow it. I think a job like that is considered a gravy position to have, since its doing stuff they do anyway. However, I guess they dont like the corporate structure as it is and prefer an open source world, which is only an idealism as that doesnt really make money. Part of the reason Linux never really took off is because companies didnt back it, because it was not lucrative for them.
