It will be called the Ebox, and will be specifically designed to recognize shapes and movement without the need for a dedicated game controller, not unlike Microsoft's Kinect."

So its designed to work similar to a Microsoft product...
It's name has a strange resemblance to a Microsoft product...

Anyways, Kinect is patented, so if the technology is similar enough, I smell a potential lawsuit.

As for running a linux gaming console with minimal copy protection, who will make games for it?
Why the massive Linux game development community for one! I'm surprised no one has thought of this yet! What kid wouldn't want to play Tuxracer and... well just Tuxracer, on Christmas morning?

It probably runs Xbox software backups too.
