What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home?
deman1985 asks: "As the owner of a small commercial and home integration company, I'm exposed to a wide variety of customers with differing tastes and needs. I'll get requests for anything from the ordinary audio distribution systems and full home theater systems, to downright bizarre requests like having bubble baths run automatically, when they walk in the door. However, the vast majority of customers I encounter are not technologically inclined and are more interested in simplicity rather than impressiveness. What would your ideal integrated home look like? What's the most unique feature you would like to see? If you had access to an unlimited budget, what would you spend money on to make your home stand out? Whole-house audio? Hidden video screens? Automatic locks? Do most people view home integration strictly as a toy for entertainment, or is the technology ready for prime time?"
Why wikipedia? It is a BAD source for information, especially considering that you would use it as a "reference" material in case something catastrophic happened.
In the event of something catastrophic, would you really want to be relying on information from wikipedia to reconstruct world history? Or anything?
I would like a super high powered Bidet, not just to knock loose the poo from pooing, but also to give me a colonic. Colonics give me erections, so I can't get them from a professional. I would love to get colonics at home. .../

You don't have to be a 'serious audiophile' to know that Bose speakers are a ripoff. You can just be someone who knows enough about tech and sound and audio to know there are cheaper alternatives that are superior.
Buying Bose gear is just stupid. It can't be expressed more succintly than that.
