Starbucks Interactive Cup Brewer (iCup) @ Microsoft

  • Artykuł

The real Microsoft news today is not that Microsoft (and Google) want to dominate the web, nor is it *real* news that Microsoft today announced (along with the likes of BEA, Cisco, IBM and others) a draft of a new specification that describes the modeling IT resources and services: the Service Modeling Language (SML).

No, no. The real news is that the Microsoft is having the all new Starbucks Interactive Cup Brewer (iCup) coffee dispensers installed across campus. ! . You read that? Interactive, no less.

Pictures are emerging as I write and yes, there is even video evidence to prove it.

    So I'm assuming you can order up your cup of coffee from your PC, with all the requisite options available, then be able to pick up your personalized cup of joe (with your name or e-mail address emblazoned on the cup) at your next convenience. :-)

    They should add RFID to this so it know when I'm 100 feet down the hallway and start brewing so I do not have to waste any MS precious time.  Isn't that what it's all about? Keep us wired and working :)

    When I started at Microsoft, I thought it was a pretty big company (near 15,000 employees worldwide).
