WiFi scale notifies the internet of your lapsed diet

WiFi scale notifies the internet of your lapsed diet

Nothing motivates like shame. Or at least that's the idea behind the Withings WiFi Body Scale, a bathroom scale that transmits your weight to the internet using WiFi.

Simply step on board once a day and you'll have your weight and body fat measurements tracked on a dashboard that you can check online or, if you're really obsessed, on an iPhone app. That way, no matter where you are, you'll be able to feel bad about yourself. Now that's progress!

Next up: WiFi enabled toilets! When you go to the bathroom it will log onto twitter and tell everyone how big your waste was!

@Saris....Don't joke. There are some that want electronic toilets that can be used for instantaneous urinalysis so that we can screen for diseases like kidney failure, diabetes and other endocrine diseases that could be detected by changes in urine.

time to yank out all wifi access in the house and electrically shield the whole thing from external WiFi access. The only thing I want on the internet is ny computer, none of this creepy everything must be connected crap. There is such a thing of having too much technology in one's life.
