*That's a nice history of Kinect hacking to date, for those who are just now entering the room and waving at the empty air.

*I don't know why that's subtitled "a commercial ecosystem." That's not a commercial ecosystem, that's an arts-and-crafts ecosystem, with maybe a few ad guys pretending to find uses for Kinects.
*You wanna see a "commercial ecosystem," you can go to this *other* part of the New York Times, and watch the Rim Blackberry going over the Tomi Ahonen "Cliff," trailing smoke and flames. Surely no industry has ever destroyed so much wealth so quickly as mobile. These are super-ingenious, radically innovative, totally motivated engineering firms with gigantic heaps of money, and they end up suspended in mid-air just like Wile E. Coyote, eyeballs gone to pinpoints.
*Not even a kindly open-source hobbyist to keep them company. A terrible thing to see.
