Most of the people I know that still regularly download music are huge audiophiles and buy a lot of physical music, attend concerts, and purchase other music merchandise. And that still leaves two other arguments. Personally, I downloaded a

I actually work as a programmer for home automation gear. You'd be surprised the extent to which (non-geeky) people want to control their homes. You'd also be surprised at the crazy number of automation startups. This one looks pretty inter
