Nice. I'm all for opening up hardware. Now if only someone broke HP's draconian firmware restrictions (verifies firmware at boot an reflashes anything "compromised" with a backup stored who knows where) that would open it up for some real security measures (ME cleaner, coreboot, etc.) and modding in general. Preventing hackers from hacking sucks balls when you're that hacker hacking your own hardware. For me this is a feature and what differenciates a general purpose computer from a locked down games console.
