You know when the tech bubble finally bursts, that juice story is going to be the first thing that gets brought up, right? It'll be like the Pets.com of our generation

It's like "hey here's $120M in VC funding to build a smart juicer"

"thank god, my oranges can now DDoS the whole east coast"

I remember back in the old country, my grandma used to spend long hours working in the fields just to squeeze the juice from a potato. Now thanks to Juicero anyone in the world can mine their bitcoins from the comfort of our kitchen

@nolan It does make me feel like modern civilisation has crossed some kind of rubicon...

Mind you it's not as creepy (imho) as that picture of Zuckerberg walking past rows of people in headsets at that Samsung conference. That freaked me out on a number of levels.

@quirst Tim Wu uses the phrase "harvesting people's attention," and that photo is almost a perfect depiction of it

@nolan Man, I don't know how I can spend so much time clicking around and still be totally unaware of the Pets.com thing and the juice story. I guess it doesn't matter.
