Google engineer paying cash for the coolest Kinect hacks

You wouldn�t think that the folks at Google would be driving people towards the competition, but engineer Matt Cutts is so stoked about the possibilities that Microsoft�s Kinect has to offer that he�s offering cold hard cash to the coolest hacks that he can find.

A $1000 prize is being offered to the developer who creates the best open source program or demo based around the Kinect. A second $1000 will be given to the developers who can create a simple Linux based Kinect program writing application. We�ve already seen several hacks around like the multitouch functions that Cameron wrote about earlier today and a nightshot function, so it will be interesting to see what people can come up with when there�s cash on the line as well as internet famousness.
