This whole thing really sounds to me like a solution looking for a problem.

That is the essence of the clapper: it is totally unnecessary. No one needs it; no one needs most of the things we discuss on Slashdot. But there are still people who want to discuss them just like there are people who want the clapper.

To be fair this is not targeted just at turning on and off lights. The article states that is can control any electronic device: computers, music players, cooking... anything.

Google to devs: use our payment system or be dropped->

Submitted by Meshach
Meshach writes "Google has been pressuring applications and mobile game developers to use its costlier in-house payment service, Google Wallet for quite some time.

"Hi, police, I am currently committing the crime of possession of child pornography, here's my name and address..."

Also imagine if the police did nothing. Then the headline would be "Man with child pornography on his computer allowed unsupervised visits with children". I do not know what he is criticizing.

A penny saved is ridiculous.
