Stephen Fry and DVD Jon Back USB Sniffer Project

Posted by Soulskill on from the mainstream-hacking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "bushing and pytey of the iPhone DevTeam and Team Twiizers have created a Kickstarter project to fund the build of an open-source/open-hardware high-speed USB protocol analyzer. The board features a high-speed USB 2.0 sniffer that will help with the reverse engineering of proprietary USB hardware. The project has gained the backing of two high-profile individuals: Jon Lech Johansen (DVD Jon), and actor and comedian Stephen Fry."

    "Write" is a strong word. How about "published posthumously as part of a larger collection of writings?"

    Are you saying that Adams published his own work posthumously? Neat trick.

    Of course he did. He's only spent the last decade dead for tax reasons.
