[Nfbf-l] Voice Activated Coffee Maker

Sat May 22 21:22:37 UTC 2010

Now I've heard everything, a voice activated, or talking coffee pot.  That 
actually sounds pretty cool.  I still have one of these primitive ones where 
you don't need to set the time, you just spoon the coffee, pour water into 
the well, turn it on, and voila, it will start perking.  It's so beautiful 
and simple, for simple technophobes like me, but this one does sound 
intriguing.
