After many “awards” now there’s a concrete possibility to use “Kinect” not just for games…

Here you are…

See you on “Enterprise”.


“The whole thing was started by Adafruit, the New York company that challenged hackers to hack the Kinect. The prize? $2,000 in cold hard cash to the person(s) that would be able to come up with an open source driver for the Kinect. An it looks like the Kinect can be used with a PC although it’s not exactly clear how that’s useful for now.”

“Microsoft however is not exactly happy, and who can blame them? They have one of the coolest products in town and having it hacked so soon is not exactly what they must have anticipated back at Redmond. In fact here’s what they told CNET about the whole situation:

“Microsoft does not condone the modification of its products,” a company spokesperson told CNET. “With Kinect, Microsoft built in numerous hardware and software safeguards designed to reduce the chances of product tampering. Microsoft will continue to make advances in these types of safeguards and work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant.”

So, anyone out there ready to bring motion controlled gaming to PCs.”

Did you know that world could have attended to the birth of another Jobs’ creation maybe with the name of “iKinect”? Instead we have just the Kinect and at this time it’s Microsoft who took care about that.

Will we be witnesses to another intuition by the “Big Apple Jobs” or will this be one of the great mistakes?

Also Nintendo discarded it…
