Search supremo Google has been inviting UK internet users who tamper with their 'secure' products and programs to visit the company's HQ to try out for a job.

Read the whole article - published in the UK's Independent newspaper (shorter online version), and they interview three so-called 'hackers'; all had long telephone conversations, two got invited for interview. Both commented that they'd been asked in great detail about their tweaks.
But while Google later offered the tweaks as features, none got the job. And people think Google are a soft touch!
