Coffee dispenser
(Note: this article is written with an Indian perspective.)
Almost every person I know of likes his/her coffee with milk (creamer, if milk is not available). Every time we buy or get coffee from the machine, we have to go through the ritual of adding sugar and creamer and mix it well before having it. I was just wondering whether it would be a good product idea to automate the whole thing.
The idea is to build a machine which
1. brews coffee on demand, just like the normal coffee brewing machines in break rooms of companies.
2. offers you options to add m spoons of sugar and n creamer sachets (or n spoons of milk).
3. mixes the above stuff well.
Would somebody be interested in building this? or how cost effective it would be? I don’t know, but I know for sure, that this will be something which I would like to have in the break room, if I had it my way.

Attack of the Thirds
Spiderman 3
Shrek the Third
Pirates of the Carribean: At world’s end (3rd movie of the series)
Ocean’s Thirteen (3rd movie of the series)
Within a span of a month we have a slew of these 3rd installments. I am sure most of them arent as good as their originals, though (i am expecting) some might be. Spiderman 3 was a letdown….could have easily been much better. But atleast they have original Spiderman stories to create new movies from. Movies such as Shrek, Pirates are totally new stories. If the first installment succeeds, the next ones tend to be stretched thin for the sake of generating more and more revenue just on the brand. Also, newer movies warrant for newer characters, who dont get fleshed out as well as the original ones. All of which means, there should be a tradeoff in terms of money making attitude and good cinema, which should be considered before making the next sequel. If the trend of sequel disaster continues, future sequels will surely be looked warily.
From another view, we dont have any good new movies coming recently… Are there no new ideas left that we have to contend with these thirds … ?
I also heard they are making Terminator 4 (sigh!) and Rocky 6 (it was released as Rocky Balboa, so I missed it…. thanks INet for Updating me with these news).
