hacked with love

All-round clever bugger, Marco hacked the Kindle he bought for his wife so it had a tailored message when she opened it:

hacked kindle

Very sweet, but more importantly (given I don’t know the happy couple) it made me wonder if this kind of thing will be the norm in the future, given that coding etc is the new literacy. Will hacking a device become the equivalent of writing a message on the inside of a book cover, say?

Either way, by the time I have kids I’m going to be essentially illiterate. Oh dear.

    nice.

    The norm IMHO will be very simple functionalities that will enable non-geeks to do the same rather than for all of us to learn coding/hacking…
