Stephen Fry and DVD Jon Back USB Sniffer Project
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."
Stephen Fry is an old man enjoying popularity with the young crowd by latching himself on to things he doesn't really understand.
The minute he is criticised or meets some opposition to his actions he will storm off in a pathetic strop.
That reminds me... am I the only person left who can see another car's headlights off in the distance and TURN MY FUCKING BRIGHTS OFF before I blind the other driver? I think I am. Everybody else waits until they're right near you, acts surprised to see you even though your lights are visible from a few miles away and can be seen around curves, blinds you, then turns down their brights. Idiots.
You really are.
Its also the first widely popular smartphone that 'jsut works' The iPhone IS an incredible piece of hardware/software. Its not as open as we would like, but that doesnt mean its not a VERY capable device. I carried a windows phone for 4 years. I couldnt even install ACROBAT on it without failing.
Good-bye
