I wouldn’t normally mention this, but it’s kind of funny. Microsoft has been busily rushing around prosecuting companies which sell or make chips which modify its XBox games console for a while now. And lo, out of nowhere comes a seriously anoraky guy who comes up with a method of doing it with just a bit of solder and some smarts (OK a lot of smarts!).

Just goes to show that policing intellectual property rights just ain’t what it used to be!
