    I first read the title and thought: What kind of change could they have made to the everyday blender to justify a note on /.

    Did Apple release one that is sleek and stylish by having only has one button?

    Or was a prototype put out by Microsoft that would promise it would make you a margarita and get your slippers too. When it makes it to the consumer, it has 12 buttons that you can configure remotely. Sadly when the consumer pushes any of them, all it does is incessantly ask the consumer:
    "You have pushed Button [insert number]. Cancel or Allow"

    Of course all slashdotters want to know is if it plays Ogg Vorbis, does it run Linux, and was there a CowboyNeal button?
