The Internet: Your Next Remote Control

Makarand writes "According to this article on NewsFactor, a Hungarian company, Timothy Technologies, wants to turn the Internet into a pervasive Remote Control. This device, called FlatStack, allows users to operate home appliances using the web. The FlatStack is an entire web server on a tiny circuit board which can be connected to the Internet and wired to the device needing remote control. Later versions of FlatStack will connect to appliances wirelessly. The FlatStack, with a variety of applications at home, can also be adapted in offices, factories and agricultural settings. It is expected to sell for around $75."

Shit like this makes me want to commit suicide. I thought about listing the number of things wrong with this idea, then I realized, the only ones reading this article are suits, shitheads, and any other flotsam who can't see the obvious.

Nevermind.
