I am currently looking to change companies in my career path. I had a potential interview with a company, and it seemed like what I wanted to do.
I got the following email:
Brad,
Jeff cancelled the interview for tomorrow. I guess he found a video you
have on UTUBE to hack into cell phones. He wasn't very happy when he
found it.
If I can give you some advice don't put anything on the web that people
can find. These companies now of days turn over every rock they can find.
Sorry,
Dan
This BLEW my mind! So, I quickly looked at my YouTube channel, and this was the only one about phones that I could find:

This was the 1st ROM that I was ever a part of. I felt such joy and achievement that I could help create something like this! So, anyway, being the smart-a$$ that I am, this was my response!:
Dan, I have NEVER made a video on YouTube to hack into cell phones. I made a video about a Motorola Triumph that we installed Ice Cream Sandwich, which is Googles 2nd latest Operating System. If anything, this is one of my greatest achievement in my professional life....we used Google's source code, rewrote it for our particular phone, and applied and booted the phone. We did not 'hack into it' as you put it, and this is the reason why Google is open-source so people can learn and apply the software to different devices.
Here is the link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=101Guli2_yE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And if your client thinks any part of this is wrong, then shame on them. Now, if your client feels that open-source software should be grounds for not accepting an interview, I advise that he/she look up the meaning of 'open-source'.
Thanks

And this is what I sent to the guy who cancelled the interview:
Jeffrey, Dan told me that you wanted to cancel the interview because I 'hack into phones'....if you think this is hacking into phones, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cign5OLUdZt8pQJhVEYpgYSthO9JW5SZeZogNNuG0gg/edit then you should not be a decision maker in ANY business. As you may or probably not know, there is TONS of developers like myself working on Android software. It is not hacking, and is embraced by a lot of people online. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631260
Along with g60madman, he and I stayed up all weekend and ported Google's OPEN-SOURCE software to our phone. We were trying to give back to the community. I mean, this completely blew my mind, and you are already being made fun of EVERYWHERE.
Thanks for nothing, and I could not imagine working for a dum-dum like yourself.
Good day.
I just wanted the development community to know that this ignorance is still out there. I do not consider what we did to be malicious in ANY way, illegal, or immoral, and most of all, grounds to cancel an interview!
Please dev's, let this ignoramous know that the Android community is strong!
