Fridge require defragging. Reboot toaster. Microsoft HomeOs.

Post by Clinton Huxley » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:01 am

Microsoft are working on a new way to annoy you. HomeOs allows you to network your entire home. Fridges and toasters are treated like networked peripherals.

Nothing can go wrong.

An update is available for your toilet roll dispenser. Would you like to download it now?

You could get home and find your HOUSE had contracted a virus and it was sitting on your sofa eating your cheese/bacon.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
