Cooll (uh...Hot) Christmas Present


I've always heard that when you don't have much to talk about, always use the weather. Well, now the weather can be made a very neat topic of conversation...or rather how you got the forecast...

There's a new coffee maker hitting stores for the holidays that can display real-time weather data!!! It uses a "smart objects" (aka SPOT) technology that Microsoft has been touting for years.

The Melitta Smart Mill & Brew takes advantage of a wireless-data system built by Microsoft to automatically display current weather conditions and forecasts.

This will set you back about $200, but what a neat idea!

I wonder if Dave Dierks (WCYB-TV) already has one of these in his kitchen?
