Disney Takes Another Stab at the House of the Future

Disney has announced that they are going to take another stab at showing us the "House of the Future". The 5000-square-foot house will appear normal from the outside but will house gadgets like lights and thermostats that automatically adjust when someone enters the room and countertops that can identify food placed on it and suggest recipes. "Millions of Disneyland visitors lined up a half-century ago to catch a glimpse of the future: a home teeming with mind-blowing gadgets such as handsfree phones, wall-sized televisions, plastic chairs, and electric razors and toothbrushes. [...] The $15 million home is a collaboration of The Walt Disney Co., Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., software maker LifeWare and homebuilder Taylor Morrison. Visitors will experience the look of tomorrow by watching Disney actors playing a family of four preparing for a trip to China."

Aren't you guys tired of crying, whining, and bitching about open source yet? For fuck sakes, give it a rest. Everytime MS is mentioned you people try to make some joke about crashing, blue screens, etc. You completely overlook the context of the article and go straight into a tirade about proprietary technology. You're surrounded by people who support your view, so what's the point?

Jesus... jsut get on with your day already.
