Not saying this will be a feature, it probably won't in fact, but kind of gives you an idea of what MS can do with this new Kinect.Microsoft has filed for a Kinect-related patent, and it’s a doozy of an application. The abstract describes a camera-based system that would monitor the number of viewers in a room and check to see if the number of occupants exceeded a certain threshold set by the content provider. If there are too many warm bodies present, the device owner would be prompted to purchase a license for a greater number of viewers.

I frequently read Farhad Manjoo, and he's just a tech fetishist. He likes everything that is new.

I just want the new controller for my PC.
