Something like the robotic vacum cleaner (I think it was called "Roomba" ??) except instead of vaccuming, it will steam clean. Also, instead of doing it all day willy-nilly, it will only activate when it senses your poorly-trained or bad d

Slightly Offtopic: This reminded me of when Facebook did that redesign some months back. A lot of people I know were outraged, but then after about a week or so, they get used to it, and before long, they are back to friending people they
