Reconfigurable, Modular Dream Home

ssyladin writes: "CNN is reporting a new dream cyber home being designed by the Brits for use in Hong Kong. It combines smart home technologies of touch panels for lights, heating, water taps, with the ability to move the interior wall partitions around with a basic toolbox and about a half day of labor. No more LAN parties in the garage! The homes can also be built faster and with less waste too. Bit skimpy on the details, but its an exciting prospect if its ever finished." Concepts like this probably fill a lot of napkin doodles around the world -- what do you think this particular one should do differently?

    I would like to notify everyone that I have patented the 'napkin doodle'.

    Since there are millions of people stealing my intellectual property, it is only fair that I get .50 cents from every pen, pencil, and napkin sold.
