Distributed Denial of Coffee

Here is a slashdot article about an internet-enabled coffee machine that has software vulnerabilities in it. And I love the title of the article.

<Insert obligatory Java joke here>

Whose brilliant idea was it to add networking to a coffee machine? Is that really necessary? OK, so X10 is a pretty neat idea, but then there was the internet fridge, now this. What's next, the internet-enabled stapler?

Oddly enough, your post is the only page that appears if you google "internet-enabled stapler". So I guess we are safe for now, and you can claim royalties if someone ever makes one.
