> An interesting web2 style implementation? Appears their building middleware / apps...? massive clusterbomb of marketing-speak + white-paper PDF links given that, chances are high there's a proprietary platform/server at its core to which you subscribe to get your products "on the web" "data about products will be able to be manually or automatically updated via sensors attached to the objects. Thus we get objects which can make suggestion to users based on anything, like location or time of day… " if you believe Techcrunch, it's all about providing suggestions to the user for maximizing their consumer eperience. all these devices phoning home and the massive surveillytics opportunity isn't even mentioned. i guess because all their readers are intelligent and there's no need to restate the obvious. wireless-routers, home/office's security cameras, sensors + meters are already "on the web".Coca-Cola machine status on telnet decades ago seemed silly/useless but there's been plenty of time for organic-demand based on real usefulness to bubble up, and cheap/lowpower/ubiquitous ARM/MIPS/Wifi HW to make it happen. which devices do you use which are not already on the web? convince users to upgrade. sell more centralized software-services. spy on them. profit
