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.

CuteyStarify This is pretty smart on their part, but hopefully it does not backfire. They have to trust whoever will be doing this act.
Lol. I agree highly of that.
That would be funny.

THuNdErModsCoD I believe if microsoft does this that there will be more problems with the consoles. The hacker who works for microsoft could
1.)Change up the 720 to their advantage so it's easily modded. (there's no such thing as a nice/good modder)
2.)Experiment with the coding itself and become evil with it (The Pro/The Man is a good example of tyranny in xbl)
3.)They could easily mod their consoles because they know the coding and then start selling those consoles at a very high price(s) (like 5k [around the same price for a devkit])
4.)Start other things to take down microsoft.
Then said hacker would be sued for an unimaginable amount

ReductionBluue Guys, they want to hire a hacker because they could see how he could hack it and then they patch it up.
That's a really smart idea actually.
And that is why they are doing it...

They're probably going to hire him so he can like JTAG/RGH it and let Microsoft make to where other people can't.
