The makers of the Myo Gesture Control Armband (Thalmic Labs) have just released the specs for the Bluetooth protocol it uses. While there are already official SDKs for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, this means that now anyone can roll their own support for other platforms like Linux or Arduino without needing to use an official platform as a bridge. Anything you can write code for that that can act as a Bluetooth GATT client would now be possible, really. If you aren't familiar with the Myo armband, it's a Bluetooth Low Energy device with 8 EMG pods and an IMU that you wear on your arm. It can read your muscle activity to detect gestures you make with you hands, which you can then use to do things like fly drones, play games, or control music.

About thirty minutes or so to design the theme, though it has been live and had people using it since an update or two back. Themes are really little more than one edited css file, a logo, and a favicon. Anyone with the web developer extension for firefox basic css knowledge (which is all that I have really) could whip out a theme in under an hour. Speaking of, feel free to submit your own, folks.
Moments only to foist it upon an unsuspecting populace.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
