Re:Ask HN: Object you'd like to see connected to the internet? on Wednesday August 06, 2014 @01:13PM (#8143543)
All devices that contain time of day displays. I live in 800 square feet and with appliances, clocks, etc. There can be 4 minutes difference across 25 feet.
What about the users who need to get account related email that they signed up for? I understand your disdain for unwanted email, I share it, but why should our opinions have a negative effect on others.
