Apple Purchased Microsoft's Kinect Collaborator
So, it turns out Microsoft didn't actually own the company that invented the technology used in the Kinect sensor, and Apple has now purchased it.

Hmm, I doubt this means they will be entering the game market. However, I think we could very likely see sensors of some kind end up in future Apple products. Now, I hardly use Apple products - but as a person generally interested in technology, I could imagine being able to visually interact with you computer may be nice for some people I could see perhaps holding up a single finger in a "one-second" gesture could pause a video call, or perhaps waving could activate/deactivate your webcam. Exciting stuff even if I am not the main recipient.
