Funny this should come up now. Just today I found this web site from a manufacturer of ultra-high-end kitchens who, apparently is in partnership with ultra-high-end appliance manufacturer Miele: http://www.siematic.com/s1page/index_en.html

Looks like just what Intel is looking for, and is pretty impressive, in my opinion.

And Miele has had their "Remote Vision" WiFi system for appliances (!) available for a while. Now they seem to be trying to develop even more capability for it. Link for Miele Remote Vision: http://miele.com/service/remote_vision/about.asp?nav=400&snav=494&tnav=497&oT=232&menu_id=46

This is all dazzling, technically, but, I am not sure that I want my refrigerator calling up the service guy all by itself.

I could guess the winners circle has some crazy concept cars that never made it in the real world.

how about the contest for prescott 3400 mhz survivors and how they did it?

man.

i wish i had the time and money to participate in this. I could really design a cool modded build if I weren't so damn busy.

I really hope they notice how silly that is. Email validation. Oh no.
