Wifi Cat
- ajju 18y agoThe most promising startup pitched at Atlanta's StartupRiot! Every second of this presentation taught me something :)
- sanjayparekh 18y agoOnly at a great event like Startup Riot will you see great deals like WiFi Cat. :-)
- PStamatiou 18y agoagreed. more startup riot coverage - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=486925 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=486925
- biohacker42 18y agoIt's a bit reddity to see the joke presentation so high on the front page while an actually informative coverage of the even is in obscurity. When I browse Slashdot I turn funny posts off. If you turn them on, you'll see +5 funny all over the place, and they are indeed funny, I would just rather get information then jokes.
- colinake 18y agoThe buildup on this company was absolutely EPIC.
- lanceweatherby 18y agoAt this point it's all about execution.
- relaxedg 18y agoVoted up
- ars 18y agoCan someone post a summary? I couldn't understand more than about 30% of what he said - terrible sound quality. Is this something about tracking a feline with WiFi? I sort of got the idea at the end that it was actually a joke? I could barely understand/hear what he was saying. Is it just me?

- lanceweatherby 18y agoWifi Cat is the world’s first WiFi repeater integrated into a cat collar. It uses patent pending energy harvesting, the cat's movement recharges battery the battery. It spread's WiFi throughout your home and enable you to track your cat using your browser in real time.
- jacquesm 18y agoI smell a rat, not a cat :)
- cedsav 18y agoThat could make sense if cats weren't the type of pets who absolutely need to be on your lap when you're trying to use your laptop. Not a good location for a repeater.
- tdavis 18y agoThey picked one hell of a lazy animal. I doubt most cats move enough to charge the battery...
- jodrellblank 18y agoIt spreads WiFi throughout your neighbourhood - as long as they mesh network enable it. Assuming it existed, that is.

- umjames 18y agoI can haz WiFi? It actually sounds like a good idea to me. Is there a reason this is a joke instead of a legitimate business idea?
- bitwize 18y agoWifi Cat is wiiiiiiiifi.
