@Daniel Hinkles: Ugh. You have to read my whole comment. It has software that runs on the PS2 hardware, within the PS2 software. The Kinect, as evidenced by all these mods, is a standalone machine.

@Steerer_Scott: EyeToy is completely unrelated to the Move.

@dowingba: No; they EyeToy did not recognize shapes. Just movement. Plus the EyeToy used the PS2 hardware and software. The Kinect does it by itself.

@dana22: Exactly. Kinect is a 3D camera with special hardware and software built into it.

@AaronN: I know what you did there...

Osama bin Laden on the other hand...

Well dams kind of ruin things anyhow. Hack it to pieces for all I care.

@dowingba: ...No, normal cameras do not have shape recognition (and, in particular, human shapes), nor can they remember those shapes, distinguish them, and recognize their interaction.

@dowingba: No, because a normal camera cannot recognize your hand interacting with the things around it. Kinect can.

@ethic: It was a graphic novel long before it was on TV.

@Maave: That backlash was quite ironic.

@Curves: The other Jesus? There were two?

@Rachel Fogg: Why, exactly, is he a grade-A douche?

The world is about two things: power and control.

@hokkaaaido: ...Microsoft doesn't sell power bricks.

@Fernando Jorge: It doesn't do that. It essentially has multiple arrays of floating gate memory. There's no non-volatile memory involved, only volatile memory that can remain intact without power.

@Sugoi: This wouldn't speed up load times, only boot times. It maintains the system state and resumes it instantly with the second floating gate. Within the session, it functions like regular RAM.

@deuxhero: Uh...he's right. An instant-recall data module would most definitely help consoles. Sure, consoles have a quick boot time on magnetic hard drives. But that would be instant on these double floating-gate FETs. Ten seconds boot time would become zero seconds boot time. As in you press the power button and are
