Apple Hires The Guy Who Hacked Together A Better iOS Notifications System

The author of this article seems to be unfamiliar with the concept of an internship. Peter is an intern because he's still in college, not because of some mythical gauntlet that new Apple engineers have to run through before Steve himself hands them keys to the repos.

Looks a bit like the notification system I've seen on an Android device (I can be wrong though). Personally I was more into this notification concept which was made by a Swedish designer: <a href="http://vimeo.com/21208357" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/21208357</a>

I talked to his brother in high school. Peter signed on with Apple months ago.

If this is true, and if this is about his notification system... is there not a fine dose of irony in the fact that Apple hired a guy, because he made a product, that functioned only on jail broken phones, which Apple fights hard to prevent from existing.

I wonder if this fellow wishes we'd all STFU about this already. At some point he seemed to realize that being cute is not the better part of discretion. If I had come across this, I wouldn't have spread the news around; he could find himself like the engineer who had the iPhone 4 stolen from him before this kid has a chance to prove his worth within the company.

Demonstrates humility on Apple's part.

Oh man, have you checked out his app MobileNotifier? It looks pretty fantastic... I was tempted for a second to jailbreak.

I have a feeling he hasn't really been hired by Apple yet.

That's surprising though, Apple's usual ways is beating down the little guy.<p>That just seems like smart move to me. If you can't beat them, you hire them.<p>If it makes my notifications better, it's all better!
