Movie has Kevin Spacey, Steve Wozniak, and .. KEVIN ROSE??

That's right, Digg's Kevin Rose is appearing in 2008's "Can You Hack It?", a documentary exploring the origin of true hackers vs. today's computer criminals by following the adventures of Adrian Lamo and other well-intentioned hackers, who found security holes and pointed them out so they might be fixed, only to eventually be arrested.

    the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world that he doesn't exist.

      Convincing his sponsors he doesn't exist at the expense of appearing like an uptight tool on his show. If I see him dance around a legally-gray topic on diggnation one more time I'm gonna go elvis on my tv.

        Famous on the internet is a far cry from celebrity. He won't be recognized on the street and there's no paparazzi.

        That's not true. I've read both Wozniak and Jobs' biographies, and you're right, at 5 this morning I wasn't really thinking about some of the stuff Woz has done, but he used to be into modifying things but it was more so he could pull pranks than for just the sake of hacking. However I still wouldn't consider Steve Wozniak to be a hacker as much as I would someone like Kevin Mitnick. Woz is much better known for building computers..They need to make a movie about Segway polo.
