The Mulled Mind

and a quote from my mum on the subject:

That's interesting. I visited the Media Lab at MIT a couple of times... and this is a very typical project for them. A lot of their stuff is cool, but the sold their souls to the devil a long time ago. A lot of their projects will sell to companies like Gillette for marketing purposes before they go anywhere else. Case in point: RFID tagging of goods in the supermarket so that they can check exactly what their customers do with it.
