Philips Wants Devs' Bright Ideas for Its Web-Connected Light Bulbs

So what they are saying is that they cant find new engineers that have the necessary skill sets (IE workable college level educations) to turn on light bulb so they are turning over their product design department to the public in hopes that Joe nobody will develop and keep their new product lines afloat for them.

Well, just got off the phone with them. They are exceeding interested in our new energy saving Quantum Lamp®.

How does it do that? Well it only shines when there is someone is observing it, of course.

It exists in two quantum states simultaneously both on and off, if you cannot see it light up then it is your problem not covered under warranty.

But only as a probability wave, so the warranty is probably valid and only if it is observed by an attorney.

Hello CR4 my new Philips light bulb has malware, how do i purge it?

Just install windows 8 and make it a touch lamp.

So how long will we have to wait for out lamps to boot up before they come on?

Years ago TV's had to wit for their tubes to warm up before they worked. Then we got the LED and LCD type displays and it was instant TV at the press of a button. Now we have those same TV's with digital HD and whatnot and we are back to waiting a minute or so for the TV to come one again.

Is this going to be our next great lighting advancement? Bulbs that take 5 - 20 second to boot up?

I mean being we figured out how to stop solid state TV's from coming on instantly for the 'betterment of progress' so how about new digital bulbs that have multi second boot times to further our progress and advancement towards a fully digital world?

Just install windows 8 and make it a touch lamp.

Rot Ro Shaggy, now you've got Bill mad!

That's Okay. I'll just hold my wife's IPad against his skin. It should burn him just like a silver cross burns a vampire!
