Then we would need pigeon packet sniffing?

Mesh networks maybe equals Sonos type connecting of speakers? That would make my day.

The one in our local mall is closing (it was basically a cellphone store at this point anyway). Theyve been having a closeout sale for weeks now and finally closed their doors.

You have some good points there about 'cloud smarts'. But there has to be a way that the cloud can pop in and help, without having full control. Companionship, not dependency.

So, we could just be adding our passwords to this list by submitting them to God knows who?

pffh. Real car builders have minions and book deals. Plus you have your real name on your profile. Hack.

I almost did it. Almost.

someone call the Mythbusters

Hopefully without the brain damage

It's a bit slower when you pay your workers. Also, building a skyscraper that really REALLY needs to not fall next time its attacked takes a bit more internal work.
