san francisco's bike share program is ford-branded

i assume ford closes sales because once somebody climbs SF's hills on a bicycle they are suddenly much more amenable to car ownership

there's probably tons of hilarious garbage out there, just no one reports on it because all anyone focuses on are the big companies with large presentations.

anyway i reached into the CES pit and found some golden nuggets of corn:

a $300 baby lotion dispenser:



this uh, scent...thing...

quote:

now Moodo is showing it off at CES 2018. It works exactly as advertised, letting you use your smartphone or tablet to select and activate different scents in your home,
...
It's available now for $189 with 12 scented capsules, and each pack of four after that will cost you $29.



GE made a 27" tablet you bolt above your stove. it even has a camera pointed at the stovetop so you can tweet your cooking??



$499 wireless earbuds made from melted illegal firearms seized in south america :stare:



a $4000 treadmill with a tv bolted to it. it should be noted that peloton's exercise bikes require a monthly subscription :lol:



quote:

Shopping for fresh produce online has always been a bit of a gamble, since you're not actually selecting the fruits and veggies yourself. Santa Clara, California–based startup Robomart aims to change that by bringing online produce shopping to your front door.
...
The company is currently awaiting its Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit from the California DMV but expects to have it soon and plans to launch a pilot program in the Bay Area this summer.

force feedback isn't enough we need to give gamers a blowjob

quote:

Vortx is ridiculous. It's a cube that you place on your desk, next to your PC or laptop, and it blows hot or cold air in your face, depending on what's happening on-screen.



a $150 thermal printer that prints sticky notes



and finally, this weird rear end thing asus crapped out. supposed to cover up the bezels of monitors in multi-monitor setups

quote:

There are no filters, software or effects at play here: It's simply an optical device that refracts light around the monitors' plastic edges.

yeah but I mean where are the Zolls, the lovely hollywood directors walking off stage mid-speech, the dancing 'cyber generation kids' talking about texting in 5 year old slang? CES used to be quality point-and-laugh-at-it entertainment.

every time i see one of those i want them to turn off the camera layer so that we can see only the data that the car is actually reacting to -- floating green rectangles in an endless black void

i think that would be a good way to get people thinking about how "smart" these vehicles really are
