In 2011, Fried was awarded the Most Influential Women in Technology award by Fast Company magazine.[2]

Also in 2011, Fried became the first female engineer featured on the cover of Wired.[3]

In 2005 Fried founded New York-based Adafruit Industries. She is also the engineer behind the electronic kits sold by the company.

In an interview with CNET, Fried said, "If there's one thing I'd like to see from this, it would be for some kids say to themselves "I could do that" and start the journey to becoming an engineer and entrepreneur."[4][5]

. In 2012 Limor had been the only female finalist against 14 other male finalist entrepreneurs. Open Kinect Project[edit]

After Microsoft launched the Kinect for the Xbox 360, Fried, along with Phillip Torrone, organized a $2,000 challenge[6] for open source Kinect drivers. After Microsoft condemned the challenge as modification to their product, Adafruit increased the prize to $3,000.[7] This prompted a Microsoft company spokesperson to tell CNET:

Microsoft does not condone the modification of its products ... With Kinect, Microsoft built in numerous hardware and software safeguards designed to reduce the chances of product tampering. Microsoft will continue to make advances in these types of safeguards and work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant.[8]

After significant advancements in the open source drivers, spokespeople from Microsoft stated that they did not condemn the challenge, and in fact were excited to see what the community developed.[9] References[edit] Jump up ^ "Hardware Hacker, E-Voting Investigator, and Public Domain Advocate Win Pioneer Awards".
