Sony Axes eVilla, Offers Refund

Matey-O writes: "C-Net is reporting Sony's dropping of the BeOS powered eVilla internet appliance. Saying it wasn't performing as planned. Am I the only person who LIKES having a small internet terminal in the kitchen/family room?" Apparently, yes. I suspect that laptops with wireless cards are filling the role that web appliances were supposed to fill.

I agree! Who on earth is going to scann their mustard jar everytime they put it in the fridge? And who, besides me, should be interested in such useless information? Barf! I can imagine the MS fridge reporting food use as well as clippy figures out what I'm writing, then singsonging at me everytime I open the door, "You must be making a burrito, it's time to buy some more MS toilet paper".
