Just an amusing news tidbit for those who love seeing appliances improved somewhat. The Roomba is able to be controlled via a MacBook, utilising the Mac's tilt sensors, some software and Perl. Amusing to say the least....
Tiz a self guided vacuum cleaner, they freakin' pwndizzle. Some of my mates have them and they do a freakin awesome job. Never vacuum again, just have ur lil robot do the dirty work for ya, I really do need to get one.
