A Rose by Any Other Name…Sometimes, Not So Sweet!
Who is this guy?
He is the “Withered Rose”. Just as mentioned in Time’s article, his website is undergoing renovation and my guess is that it will be doing so for a good long time. However, his blog is up and doing well. The new site is at mghacker.com and has been running since March of 2007. The mg probably stands for Mei Gui (玫瑰), the Pinyin for Rose in Chinese. Won’t go into too much detail about all the stuff on his blog since the most important stuff has been covered but it does contain some note worthy stuff.
My guess is the Time’s reporter had some sort of agreement with Rose and his buddies not to take their photos for the article…me, no such agreement:
Withered Rose
More pictures of the happy hacker crew here and here.
Never understand why Chinese hackers refuse to put a picture in their “About” page but then plaster them all over their website…who knows.
