I'm not sure why you got downvoted on this, but maybe you can elaborate on why you think that is 'the most important part of the story'
It appears that the journalists are engaging in unethical, borderline blackmail processes to get people to speak.
He is looking for an internship. Hello, Apple, hire him already.
> (He agreed to speak after Forbes‘ poking around Twitter, > Facebook and the Brown Directory revealed his name.) B this is the most important part of the story
Agreed. It's strange that people get all up in arms when the government does this for suspects and yet when some random journalists start snooping around, trying to dig dirt up on you, and blackmails you to write a story (and then proceed to make money from said story), nobody seems to care. Ridiculous. Forbes should be chastised for this.

For the record, I spoke to this reporter for a couple hours, and even had him tell me exactly how he got comex's name (which I did not actually know). He plays it up in that quote from his article, but it turns out getting the name was /trivial/: comex had a public Facebook account, in his real name, using one of his standard usernames. It is actually likely that he got the name before he even realized it was suppose…
Forbes shouldn't be chastised over releasing his name, and anyone who thinks that blackmail or anything of the sort played a role is just being silly.

If Apple hires him, that will be the last time you see a jailbreak tool come from him.
Depending on what they hire him for, it could also be the last time you see a jailbreak tool from anyone ;P.

For someone like you very familiar with the jailbreak community I find the lack of trust very disturbing :)
Jailbreakme is an amazingly elegant tool. Although I seriously doubt they will, Apple should definitely hire him. His products show that he understands design as well as anyone on their payroll now. That combined with his obvious coding skills make him the ideal Apple engineer.
