Some Windows 8 Laptops May Come With Built-In Kinect Sensors

Posted by timothy on from the ah-kin-see-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes to point out reports that Asus is "working on a new laptop that will include Kinect gestures and will be compatible with Windows 8," and adds, "What does this mean for the consumer? Portable gestures in Windows 8!" Wired has an article based on the same report, which mentions also the prospect of devices incorporating alternative gesture-tracking software from SoftKinectic and others.

    Considering most MS Windows lusers, they'll probably be comforted knowing they can't load any "rogue" software. Even though there will be plenty of security holes for malware to get through, including Microsoft signing it.

    If you hadn't told us he was retarded, I would have assumed he was black.
