I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies a few weeks ago, but I didn't have a recipe handy, so I looked up the Consumer Reports ultimate god-killing cookie recipe online.
My printers aren't hooked up at the moment, and even if they were I probably wouldn't feel like printing a recipe up that I'd eventually jsut lose again in the cluter on my floor, so I trotted back and forth until I had the mix all ready.
Sure, it isn't something that would make or break an appliance, but it would have been pretty handy for me to set the temp on the oven from my comp downstairsas soon as I found the recipe, beam the recipe to my fridge's screen to read while I prepared the dough, and gotten feedback on my comp from the oven about preheat status, or time left to cook.
Hell, I'd even enjoy having a webcam involved so I could see if they're golden brown yet.
Not to mention the times I've goe to all the trouble of finding a recipe, only to spend ten minutes routing through my fridge, and coming up short one ingredient. It'd be nice if I could drop a list into some kind of refridgerator widget that'll tell me if I've got anything, and what I'm missing.
On the other hand, I'm the most ungodly lazy person on earth, and Ireally don't deserve anymore help from my kitchen...
Turning it off "when you don't want to be tracked" implies a period, however brief, when being tracked is a-o-k.
I don't personally mind if anyone watches me go from my house to work, and back again every single day, but then, some jobs have higher security concerns than "Dietary Aide"...
Books uused to be a pain in the ass to write, and a pain in the ass to duplicate.
Software is a pain in the ass to write, but it's never been as difficult to copy as copying a book by hand, even when it involved floppy discs and pretty boxes.
I doubt it...I like my small transport media to be rewriteable, and this stuff isn't : /
Even thought they're dirt cheap, I feel a pang of guilt every time I write one little file to a CD-R to give to pass on to a friend, and I think that guilt would only increase if I were burning something as awesome as a mini datacube.
But, they could be a good, cheap, voluminous media for digital cameras and the like...
The snazzy Mac game Avara by Ambrosia had a level for it that recreated Pac-Man. Dependig on how the rules were set, edible dots could be used purely for points, or to give ammo.
The case a while back shaped like a bug? That was deeply beautiful...he put glowing red windows on the -harddrives- for chrissakes.
But slaping the whole mess into a plexibox with some glowy is the artistic equivalent of pulling your favorite four measures from a song and setting them to loop. It's pleasing to you, but not to anyone else, and it takes no real insight or skill.

Buy a third party mouse with a widget, and set the middle mouse button to Option-Click.
When you select the text, don't copy it. Just middle-button-drag it to its new home, and it'll be copied.
You mean a Woman?
I think they sell those already...
An article about Grevestars showed up in Scientific American a few months back I remember...
It was an interesting article, but they seemed to be a ways off from anything solid...so to speak.
Step 2: Extortion
Graphiti is a terrible way to put information into any device. It exists because at some point, it was the only vaguely reasonable way.

Is the an aerial photo of the International Fountain in the Seattle Center, or is that a fountain in Kansas?
If it's in Kansas, I think they stole our fountain, because they look identical...
Hmm...maybe I can get one with little scales to set various items on... Me: This is the Milk scale. Computer: Oh? That feels like half a gallon...

Is that why my gal in Aus can now call me for half a cent per minute? God bless you, little logo.
Hrm...my car just started making a high pitched scraping sound somewhere near the back left wheel...I'll bet it's bugged.
Maybe not. But this way I can go another guilt free year without a checkup or an oil change.
Technology has worked a miracle in my life.

a combination of kiss switches
If there's anything more dangerous than a well armed, autonomous robot, it's a well armed, autonomous robot that can only be deactivated with a kiss.
Be prepared to duck and weave...
Four screens, two boxes, wired through my stereo, cable modem, router, VCR running to one of the screens...
I just realized I'm using 3 powerstrips, and I'm probably responsible for more powerdrain in my house than every other appliance combined...
Meh.
IIRC , the 12 mph limit isn't inherent to the design, but added in to keep them sidewalk-legal.
Is there a more embarassing death than being mowed down by a hotrod geek-scooter?

I like that the thumbnails on his page are as detailed as, and easier to look at than, the pictures they link to.

Thank you for linking to asciiMac...I had no idea such a thing existed, and this stretch of conciousness has now been justified.
I suppose Thanksgiving happened too...but that hardly compares to asciiMac...

No, no...a metal controller will conduct heat better so you can overclock it...
Breathing is the easiest option, but results are generally negative...
I've got a friend who most of us call Anime Sarah who now claims to hate anime. Her reason? Liking anime has become too competetive.
