Last update they had added Kinect support, this time they have added Wii controller support. Why is that. No one seems to be doing anything with the support.

The new Linux 3.0 kernel in all its shiny awesomeness will be finding its way into your favourite distro any day now. So what does this major milestone release contain to justify the jump in version number?

People are doing all sorts of things with Kinect! It has the potential to be used with almost every electronic appliances which can be control remotely!

Offtopic:

It'd be cool if someone added gesture support based on inputs from a webcam instead of a device.
Imagine showing the middle finger to the laptop and it turns off

Ontopic:

3.1 ALREADY ?? What happened to the good old days of not bumping subversions till something really really really radical or major happens, and reserving odd numbers for test releases and even numbers for main releases ?
