Kinect Controversy

The controversy talk about the Microsoft product "Kinect" is that days after is release the products software that is suppose to run on XBOX 360 only was hacked by a bunch of open source hackers. Code that runs the motion capture device was hacked and is now able to be run on PC and Linux systems. This technology can be used in the future to interact with robots and art installations.

I think this is great. It proves that their is people in our society that will not allow companies like Microsoft to monopolize technological advances in our ever changing computer world.
