From the article:

"Microsoft does not condone the modification of its products," said a company spokesperson in an interview with 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."

People "tampering" with their own, purchased devices? No, we can't have that!

Next, Microsoft will release a firmware update for these which will make this useless.

It looks like they can do that, it's a shame really, why don't they leave it open for all of us to mess around with?

In a world without walls and fences who needs windows and gates.
