Check Your Laundry Online
from the this-sounds-mighty-familiar dept
I read the latest Reuters article about an internet connected washing machine designed for college students, so they can add detergent remotely, and receive an email when the laundry is done. My first thought was, “this sounds really familiar… I could have sworn I read the same article a year ago.” Thanks to the Techdirt archives, it turns out I had (though, I was off slightly on the date). The NY Times had an article we posted here a year and a half ago about the exact same thing. I guess there’s really no rush to have first mover advantage in the internet connected washing machine business.

we don't need that
We have two washers and a dryer in each section of our dorms, you can hear them from most rooms.
NO!
Do you really want your washer hacked by international terrorists? Your clothes could fall victim to a bleach script attack or a I-LOVE-SUDS virus.
