No more calls, we have a winner, as the Adafruit industries blog announces their bounty for open-source Kinect PC drivers has been claimed, saying that in addition to paying "Hector" $3,000 for his accomplishment, they will also be donating an additional $2,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, whose services may end up being called into play due to this development. Thanks Ant via Slashdot.

The only other thing I can see this as an upside for would be the handicapped. Apart from that I can see zero use for this thing. It would be way more work than a keyboard and mouse and suck for games. Hell, apart from gayass games like Dance Central and maybe those stupid Wii type sports games I don't see any use for the console with the Kinect. Hell, I don't even bother playing FPS' on the Xbox because the console controllers suck for those games, how is the Kinect going to improves this experience, unless you like learping around like a fairy. How utterly tiny is that segment? How about you? You're the only one in this thread so far who is openly against it. That makes you one person amongst many. Ergo, you are an utterly tiny segment, a mere drop in the ocean. It doesn't matter how strong your views are - you are just one person. We get it - you don't see the point. Other users are posting about the possibilities for it and, frankly, that's more interesting to read. It's not every day I get to take space captain's side on something
