Microsoft Hiring Hacker For Next Xbox Experience?
In a job listing on Microsoft's site for a Service Engineer, the company describes their ideal candidate as someone who tends to "void the warranty on every device" they own, and make "devices do things never intended by the manufacturer."
"We are looking for a Senior Service Engineer to help define the next generation of entertainment devices and services, and to help ensure our customers have the best possible experience, even when things go wrong. Well-qualified candidates have extensive experience in running web-based services, deconstructing interaction between client and servers (via a combination of logging, network traces, and so on); have a good understanding of C# and/or PowerShell, and excellent ability to communicate verbally and on paper."
They do make references to the "next generation of entertainment," so it is probably safe to say that this is related Xbox 720 in some form.
Or, this could just be a move by Microsoft to enhance its security for the Xbox 720. Piracy and hacks have become almost too easy to do on the Xbox 360, so it's easy to think Microsoft would want to recruit some fresh knowledge in this area.

Yeah, unless the hackers actually make it easier for people to hack the 720.
I'm pretty sure they would get in huge trouble if they did that.

I like the sounds of this, I hope that they get someone that will improve there products. Just picture what apple device would be like if the people who make jailbreaks worked together with apple. Of coarse they couldn't make it so that everything is free but there are other things they could add to improve the device

Well, I tend to void every warranty possible. I even voided the warranty on my mattress by removing the tags. No lie. It's good that Microsoft can take someone who's experienced in hacking and build off of them.
