a DIGITAL light bulb....who would have thought it .....stupid
how can the merrycans not use a push on push off switch like us ......those stupid turn on and off switches are pants........
Unless I have missed something, how soon before any of these in the wild (public spaces) get reset by "helpful" hackers. (Or helpful "hackers" ?).
Vaguely reminds me of the days when kids would write a program in BASIC on a display ZXthingy in W.H. Smiths ....

"I reset mine by using a dumpster"
classic
wtf is this all about anyway
For anybody too lazy to get up out of their couch to switch their lamps on and off by hand (OK I'll admit there might be some remote locations where this is useful)
surely the easier solution is to install smart wall switches
That way your only paying for the tech once, not every time you fit a new f****ng bulb

I thought for a moment you war being literal. It was prompted by a boy in a class a month or so ago. Apparently the class were to imagine themselves as spies and had to suggest a device that would help them in this regard. These were 8 or 9 year olds. Several of course immediately thought of dog s*it. Hey, we could build an internet enabled microphone into a fake dog s*it you can buy from Amazon as a gag, and leave it by the seat in the park where the spy is talking. I imagine this has been done already, but I thought it was brilliant.

I also used to hate those touch plate switches. I used to walk past them and they would go on or off randomly without touching them. I had a little bedside light like that at one time. That eventually went the same way. I do have a clock that talks the time if you touch it but that seems pretty stable. Brian
