...while you'll still have to do the folding yourself, Whirlpool is testing a line of "smart" washers and dryers, which enable consumers to monitor the status of their rinse cycle remotely and control the washer or dryer by computer or cell phone. But presumably it still takes a human hand to separate the lights from the darks...
...pair of auto mechanics inadvertently touching lips while sharing a Snickers bar. To compensate for their accidental smooch, they “do something manly” like tear out chest hair, hit one another with a wrench or a car hood, or drink motor oil and windshield washer fluid.

None of McCain's new allies are more impressive than former Congressman Tom Loeffler of Texas, a mega--fund raiser for Bush. Loeffler says he has told McCain he is willing "to be your bottle washer, or I'll fix the flat on the Straight Talk Express bus."

...That's because the main force of the floor washer is a rapidly rotating brush that buffs the floor with the cleaning agent then sucks up the dirty water into a separate tank.

The most successful new products are "consumer driven, not engineering driven," he says. Their benefits are obvious: whisper-quiet dishwashers or space-saving stackable washer-dryers rather than just machines with more powerful motors. That trend affects every consumer product, he says. Look at MP3 players. Before the iPod, they competed on how much memory they had. Apple figured out that the experience of the gadget mattered more and killed the category...
