Internet Washing Machine
from the yes,-yes,-it's-a-slow-news-day dept
This one caught my eye (and not just because I do happen to be doing laundry right now). We've already got the cyber fridge, so why not the cyber washing machine? I'll tell you why: because it's pointless. Why would you ever need to run your washing machine from your cell phone? I guess, the point is more so that the manufacturer can keep track of the machine, but it still seems a little silly.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

This might not be as dumb as it sounds.....
There are a bunch of interface issues, but this might be good for commercial/laudromat applications if not for the home user.
Just a thought.
