The only way I think that a device like that could be useful is if the spoon could analyze the chemicals used in whatever you were eating.
On second thought... maybe best to leave well enough alone. I think I would stop eating if I new what really is in all of that processed food we get from the market.

What your really don't want to know is what's in the unprocessed food. Trust me on this.

Start with the more pleasant components - like insect parts and rodent feces.

I'm not gonna worry about rodent feces when manure spreaders are considered standard equipment on a farm. And I'd rather see that in use than something like RoundUp used in industrial quantities.
As for insect parts...there's an entire movement that's trying to get people off of meat and onto "protein substitute products" made entirely of insects. To prevent cow farts and thus reduce global warming, y'know?

Manure spreaders spread the manure on the ground - not into the package. And tell me - how (or more precisely, what) will weed the fields if they don't use Roundup? Do you think it's better for you?
And, per eating insect being an improvement over cattle and not enhancing global warming with the much more global-warming active methane in their farts? Check this out: insects, as in termites (an often eaten species) are enormous producers of methane[^]. Estimates range up to 40% of methane emission (and that include emissions from rotting vegetation &etc). It will go up when insects are 'farmed' for food. And consider this: WTF will we feed the insects and how do we get it?
If you want to do this right - then stop eating any sort of animal protein. Huge amounts of farmland land could then be re-forested, for example, further decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Until then, you can consider yourself a personal source of excessive greenhouse gases, even when you don't fart.

I take for granted that you are aware of the SmartFork: SmartFork[^]
This fork has been on the market for a few year now, at USD 99.99 per fork. If you lift the fork to you mouth too often your mobile will buzz, warning you that you are eating too fast. Also sold as HAPIfork.
The accompanying knife does not have any similar functionality. Somehow I wish that it had a similar function, buzzing my mobile if I stab other people too often. Of course it would never buzz my mobile, but I am eating in a healthy way, too, so the fork doesn't buzz my phone either. Or rather: It wouldn't have, if I had decided to spend USD 2400 on a set of 24 of them for my next big party.

Sorry, 2k, XP, 7, were pretty easy to follow you know. 1505, 1511, 1609, 1492, 1984, and whatever the hell next is to come just ISNT!
Bloody idiot.

Those numbers follow a very easy pattern YYMM of the release...
And we have two of them yearly, first half and second half so on the fast lane you may have 19H2 and 20H1 (and even 20H2) now...

We need two releases a year with different UIs, and different instructions on the net on how to do simple things, like change a network to private, and this is simplifying it?
|
|
|
|
|
No!
The numbering is simple - the update (process and content) is a mess... So I'm done with Windows in my personal life... use it in work (but not 10)...

"no!" I agree, I feel the same thing about windows 10.

I understand what you're saying, but as a developer, if you want to support Windows 10, then as long as you target the lowest common denominator, it's easier to do so than including any previous mix of 8.1/7/Vista/XP/etc.
Is there really any feature in Windows 10 that a dev is relying on that wasn't in the first release?
|
|
|
|
|
It isnt about that, it is about clarity, simplicity.
Moving the OS number from the major to the minor number, and than saying "Look, we dont produce any new OSs, they are all Windows 10!!!!!!" Isnt fooling anyone!
|
|
|
|

What you're describing is hardly what MS is doing these days. They're no longer producing huge, monolithic upgrades that take 3 years between releases. They're no longer trashing/redesigning whole areas from scratch. And that's the point Terry Myerson was trying to make. You don't agree with that?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you think two new versions a year is more or less fragmentation than the three versions, 2JK, Xp, 7, that spanned what, 10 years?
|
|
|
|
|
The way I see it, yes, it's less of a headache.
If you're writing a .NET app and want to target Windows 10 (any version), which version of .NET should you be using to allow the most people to run it without having to update their runtime first?
Apply the same question to previous Windows versions. I suspect you'll have to do a lot more research. And your installer's requirements list will become a lot more difficult to put together.
Now repeat with PowerShell. And any other technologies you can just take for granted exists on 10.
