An Anonymous Coward queries: "OSGi is a Java technology for allowing third party venders to control your domestic appliances (Fridge, Front Door, Security System etc). I have been tasked to implement OSGi apps, but cannot find any working examples, is anybody working on OSGi applications?"

These wankers, www.lga.ca, are running ads on Canadian televisions showing a fridge ordering crap and some photogenic tosser adjusting his air conditioning from a cell phone while some photogenic wench strokes his wee willy.

I wouldn't mind been in a shop and been able to check what I had in the fridge however, be it by some product log, or just a cam inside!

Or better still, having the fridge tell you who took that last beer..

Yea, I *really* want my cable company to control my refrigerator and the phone company to take care of my washing machine. Please, tell me how to sign up for this wonderful service.
