OblomovCan someone please develop self-pairing, self-folding socks?
Uilebheist@oblomov Oh groan. Now somebody from google will read it and before we know it we'll have google socks: advertised as self-pairing, self-folding, but all the folding they'll do is try to make origami out of your feet, and as for the pairing, that'll be with a wifi access point to send spy data back to google.
@Uilebheist Google has a tendency to do exactly the opposite of what I suggest so no they won't dive in the folding socks business.
@Uilebheist if anything, they'll scrap the internal project that had achieved self-pairing.
@oblomov From them, I'd expect to patent the idea, then kill the project (and make sure nobody else is allowed to do it).
