I would wish that more companies would allow for modifications / hacks right from the start and actually support that. That would attract the hacker community and might result in many more interesting use cases.
- mkesper 12y agoI got one as a present and oh, how I hate Nike for not even caring about android users, much less of using this kind of sensitive data without uploading to their cloud. The device itself is usable as a quite ok step counter requiring Windows only software to even do _anything_ with it. As it measures mainly walking, I cannot even recommend it for the intended purpose.
- frogpelt 12y agoI wonder if there is a market boost that comes from having your stuff hacked. Using the Keurig 2.0 as an example: Adding DRM to the coffee maker turned off a lot of people. But once a hack was discovered it generated more publicity for the company. It makes me want to buy one just because I know I can get around the DRM. If it never had DRM, I don't think I would want one as bad.
