Finally an interesting use for all this modern technology! ZDNet has an article discussing a smart glass that can detect the change of capacitance in the glass caused by the level of refreshment getting dangerously low -- Hey Beer Glass, Pour Me Another.

Though things could get hairy the next day if your boss knows how many pints you had the night before! |
