On the bus. You can dock. On the subway. Stay docked. You can be docked in at home, and at the same time, you're docking with some kids at the public pool. We went to the guys at Fruit Computers and we told them we wanted to make our hardware as compatible as possible... Now you can dock your LifeInvader to an iFruit or any other device, and it'll take all the data off and reformat it into LifeInvader-friendly information. | „ |

Biography[]
Past[]
Little is known for sure about Jay Norris' childhood, but what is known is that he started the social network known as LifeInvader, from his parents' home in East Carraway, where he would not only quickly use it to steal private information of billions of people and sell it to governments as well as corporations, but also force enslaved children as young as fourteen years old to build cell phones pre-installed with the app.

| ~ Lester Crest to Michael De Santa. |
After Michael De Santa sneaks his way inside the LifeInvader offices to plant a bomb shaped as a battery on the orders of Lester Crest, Jay Norris would begin a public speech on live television where he proudly introduced his prototype cell phone. Sooner or later, Michael uses his own phone to call Jay, and his phone explodes right next to his face to immediately kill him in front of a horrified crowd before the footage is cut off.
Afterwards, Michael calls Lester who reveals that he's earning a lot of money in the stock market due to Norris' death. Despite this, LifeInvader's stock market value crashed, and never recovered.
GTA Online[]
Jay Norris himself never appears again, though he's posthumously mentioned five years after his death during the content update "After Hours", where the LiveInvader offices have had an increase in security due to the "incident" of his death.
