It's almost a cowboy bebop world were hackers rule all technology, with the latest hack coming from the release of Kinect. According to the article, Adafruit offered a bounty for the first hack with an increase of £624 to £1,871 after complaints from Microsoft.
"The Adafruit bounty was won by hacker Hector Martin who was the first to produce drivers and make them available for others to download and improve. [...] The Adafruit contest has also given rise to a Google group dedicated to open source use of Kinect that now has about 400 members."-BBC
Adafruit stated the hack will be used for robotics and new art installations. I'm guessing from this they're building an arty robot invasion.
