Your point about OS interoperability makes sense but you should really, really rethink the "to me kinect is just a sensor, and all I want from it is data" part. If you've ever used a Kinect or similar device half the glory of

I think you are correct... this is for a niche market.

I do work in a traditional office environment. The problem is being too busy, not eating. Eating is not a problem that needs to be solved. Being too busy is the problem that needs to be solved.

I have a gastrointestinal condition and had to eat exactly that for a while. The main problem is the taste is not so good, it has no texture, it's boring and there is no variety. It doesn't feel like eating. After a month of drink

Most of the time, yes. I actually enjoy cooking too. Cooking is also a social activity.

It was his job to do that for the trial period... he didn't choose to.

Completely agreed. A lot of commenters on HN are completely missing the social function of eating.

Except I'm never doing that, so I will never buy this product. I want to lose an hour eating because I can spend time with my friends or take a break or talk to people. Subway isn't that bad either, and is certainly more enjoyab

I think it speaks to some other problem if people think eating is a hassle. Eating is super important to live, determines a lot of your health and most people here have missed that it is also a very important social interaction. Maybe this

To add a counterpoint: I browse very frequently but rarely ever post. I actually think some of the older posters are worse than the newer ones. A lot of HN regulars seem to me to be so caught up in it that they can't see the big pictur

I think you're being downvoted because of tone. I don't have enough karma to downvote but my feedback is that sometimes extreme cynicism makes HN not so fun to read. Cheer up, it's Friday before Memorial Day weekend!

I know some people say they've lost the "Don't be evil" mojo for quite some time now, but this would finally do it for me. It's a wonder that they're able to avoid making you feel like you're the product (

You can also get free access to Azure with a MSDN subscription which is nice for those who have one :)
