...anything one can't imagine in a machine?eggs, porn, rotgut?and you see their familiar glow on remote mountaintops and temple grounds. Now, like the automobile and the breadmaker, the coin-op vendor is getting way smarter. The new crop is rigged up with video came-ras, touch-panel computer screens and optical sensors. And these are more than just bells and whistles. In many new models, wireless chips improve efficiency by alerting vendors when a machine is running out of Pocari Sweat or chips. This generation will also be able to hawk digital wares, from music and movies...

Unfortunately, such an approach would get me fired. So, fresh and fearless after a sun-filled vacation, I dug into a stack of flat-panel monitors I had ordered a few weeks earlier when their prices went into free fall. Over the past month, IBM, NEC, Philips, Samsung and Viewsonic have all announced 15-in. flat-panel displays costing from $499 to $599, almost half their typical price a year...
