The Aroma of Fine Wine From Your Computer

SonomaSteve writes "Wine Spectator Magazine is reporting on a new computer accessory that could have you smelling fine Burgundy wine over the web. The prototype, called Olfacom, is being developed by France Telecom and showcased by the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB.) The technology uses 'essential oils' stored in several tanks inside the peripheral to generate aromas like hay, flowers and fruit. Will Olfacom be more successful than DigiScents? The French say, 'Mais, oui!'"

You talk big, but we all know you're talking about Japanese businessmen and used panties.

Must be a slow newsday...

Whining about Karma Algorithm

[BrianMarshall]

My Karma was raised to Good as a result of a reply I made a few days ago.

So, I start reading /. last night after midnight, and feel the need to reply to this important topic. Funny thing, though - I realize that there are, at that point no comments - mine would/might be first. Anyway, I post.

By the time I did (2 or 3 minutes later), someone had already made a comment about the important implications in the Porn industry, and now my comment is modded down as Redundant. Fine.

But (with this negative mod), my Karma is now back down to Positive.

I think that mods of Redundant and Overrated should, like Funny, not affect Karma.
