XO laptop hacked

I guess it is but a matter of time before the OLPC XO laptop gets hacked, and here we have a video of such an example. The XO laptop was hacked to control a telepresence-enabled Roomba, allowing you to control the rig from a Web browser, accessing the XO laptop’s webcam and microphone in order to know what’s going on in its immediate surroundings. Instead of going through all that hassle, why not settle for a spy camera of some sort instead?
