A year is a good amount of time to hang around one place Al can you write me an App to make me coffees in morning? That would be great, and also one that can take calls from my Mum, and impersonate me (lots of *yeps*). That could improve my life considerably lol.

ROFLMAO Zitan

Making a coffee app should be fairly easy - it's a matter of creating one of those incredible machines and hooking them up to a printer which will start moving catrige every morning I provide the app, you provide the ink for the printer In 'da gangsta' world we do sh!t like that all the time

Like I said - who da man, the mobbin man But what about the app to talk to my Mum, can we do that? What a load off that would be. Perhaps the clone-z-voice can have modes like gruff and whitty and even charming, how great that would be, I could avoid clients and family ROTS (...sleeping) is where I should be....

wtf - app to talk to you mum? I'll write you the best app ever. It will be dead simple (all it will do is say "yes, ma'm" for 12 hours), and dead effective at the same time. Mind you, quadrupal-fivetrupal increase in allowance guaranteed.

Do what I did - move to another country and whenever she feels like talking to ya, let her do it. For the price of international call. And only give you cell #. Cell phone charges extra

Or you can forget to tell her you moved at all Brrr... that's cold...

Ctb, slash's down What's the time on the article thou? Can I still make it to patent office and register my idea?

FYI

Certified Genius is a certification that Wile E. Coyote had, so I'm sure ACME is still taking applications

as far as cool apps...remember the java (or jini???) toaster that connected to a weather server and burned an image of the day's weather into the middle of toast...however it was done by some student in the UK so it probably always made and image of rainclouds....can't remember the link

...rob

Al -

Article's about Matsu****a and Sony backing Linux for small consumer products (like coffee makers), so, theoretically, you could program your coffee maker if you were familiar with Linux It went up Dec. 18th, but there's no patent pending on that specific idea, so if you hurry you should be good to go!

Isn't that like MS testing? If it works once then let it go...
