Knows Your Name Elmo hacked

By Ryan Block

Ah, feels like just last week we wrote about Knows Your Name Elmo (oh, it was), the USB-enabled "intelligent" Elmo doll that parents can program to know their childrens'
names and even remind the kids of their bed time. Boring, right? But Casey Alverson's actin' kinda shady and already documented a method to hack Elmo's voice and speech patterns to do its master's bidding. Right now it's just proof of concept, but we certainly wouldn't mind seeing what the Engadget readership can come up with in the way of Say My Name Elmo hacks.
