"Hackulous admin Dissident "

Oh god, they do think so highly of themselves, don't they.

YEAH! I'M A DISSIDENT! I'M A REVOLUTIONARY! I'M MANDELA! I'M PIRATING $.99 APPS! FUCK YEAH! STICKING IT TO THE MAN! OR AT LEAST A GUY WRITING SOFTWARE AND TRYING TO FEED HIS KIDS! YEAH! DISSIDENT, MOTHERFUCKER! I'M BADASS! DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

Pathetic spoiled dweeb with a galaxy-sized sense of entitlement, more like it.

I believe the name "dissident" comes from a desire for anonymity (probably a good idea, with what he does). He used to go by "TDDebug", fwiw.

(Insert argument how none of the kids who use Hackulous would ever buy an app anyway, due to lack of funds (or lakc of funds in credit card or iTunes format), or because they are just pirates.)

"I believe the name "dissident" comes from a desire for anonymity"

I'm sure. But it's an absurdly self-flattering and grandiose name. He's not a dissident. He's helping people copy inexpensive apps, that are in no way necessities, that generally cost less than a can of Red Bull, and are mostly from small independent developers.

A more appropriate pseudonym would be Veruca Salt. At least that would capture the pettiness and sense of entitlement.

My feelings exactly. Sure there was always Serial Box or whatever it was called, and [k]racks back in the System 6-9 days, but this new breed and their methods have really taken things to an extreme... I mean a pirate App Store FFS??
