Beer and Bluetooth

juxter writes "The BBC is reporting on a London bar which has installed a Bluetooth and WiFi access point. Owners of camera phones can wirelessly send their pictures to an overhead screen and web based gallery - The system runs the LocustWorld Linux based MeshAP which has been extended to drive bluetooth devices as well. Hopefully this will encourage more UK premises to deploy free hot spots."

    The first thing someone will do with their camera phone: take a picture of a mouthful of chewing-in-progress food. Then laugh endlessly when the picture comes up on the overhead.

    After that gets old...no, I don't want to think about it. They'd better enclose the bathroom with a grounded wire mesh shell.

    Everybody that ever saw pictures of themselves taken after spending an evening drinking in a pub knows this forms a great danger. The last thing you want to see is proof afterwards

    Now, the rest of the pub can intervene to help prevent egregious cases of "beer goggling".

    Let's go ahead and bluetooth/wireless/etc everything in site, so this all can end.

    When I can see if my dog is out eating poop in the back yard across her webcam toting, pringles can antenna/802.11b utility collar, all from the comforts of my fridge mounted display, I'll be in good shape.
