Crack the old "May I use your dictaphone?" gag, and there are two technologies in the gag they won't remember.

Regarding the topic, I wouldnt call this either a "feature" really, or engineering, although technically that's a feature and required some engineering.

That's just a game console - which already tends to turn some people into couch potatoes - but somehow with a constant reminder that you want to eat some KFC, and the possibility of warming it up. Minimal physical activity and fast food. Thanks KFC!

Pretty sad.

@SiliconWizard: It's called "working from home". Which is a legal requirement in most G7 countries this week. I've been legally compliant for decades. btw I have a USB peltier can cooler and a USB cup warmer. You'll appreciate that due to the USB specification, deployment is mutually exclusive. Or I would not be able to use my USB toaster.

I suppose it would be possible to cool an overclocked processor by mounting it inside a shower head, Brazillian style? Colored leds included. Kickstarter anyone?
