More Food Technology

Today being a good day for getting busy watching to see if any new commercials have made it onto the TV, I have only time to quickly update you with an important trend:

The food-screen wipe:

At first, it looks just like a normal doughnut you may leave lying around your computer. But, cunningly, it is a disguised screenwipe. $5.80.

Also available in cake with cherry version:

And, for those who think that wiping your screen with a cake is just a bit silly:

...how about a burger wipe!

And this reminds me a little of the market. If your eyes are bigger than your stomach, you may end up eating a screenwipe.



On a separate note, with two days left till the election results (go to the site to press button on whether there should be a three-per-week schedule), there is understandably an air of expectancy and tension. Ok, perhaps not. Initial indications show that four votes have been cast so far, with a three-to-one majority favouring daily spamming.

However, despite the democracy nameplate, this is not an election in the way of Holland or Japan.

Sure, no one cares about the result, turnout is poor, and everyone is worried about keeping their jobs, but this is a democracy more in style of a country that needs to prefix its name with "The Democratic People's Republic". A little like Zimbabwe, although not entirely, as that would have me alternately beating you with a stick, and offering you stolen land, in ordrer to entice you to vote. However, I am not going to interfere with voting, but may end up interpretting the results, a bit like the US government does with unemployment data.
