Most household devices in many country use the same or similar plugs (ground or ungrounded), outside of high power needs.

ICANN went off the rails a few years after it was created. After accomplishing its primary mission of opening up domain registrations, it lost its way. Despite the use of the word "Internet" in their name, they meet globally three times a year. recent places include Hamburg, DC, Cancun, Kuala Lumpur, The Hague, San Juan, Seattle, Montreal, Kobe, Barcelona, and Panama City. It has a "funded traveler" policy, paying hotel and $85 per diem for meals and travel, which cost it millions annually. It's a good deal if you're part of the community.

They'll be able to flag foods that are approaching their sell-by date -- and offer discounts before they expire. Consumers will gain online access to a trove of useful data -- everything from ingredients, recipes and potential allergens to promotional offers and information about how to recycle the product.

I know we've also had at least two other technologies in the lab since then which claimed about the same thing (can't remember the names). They never lived up to their promise either.

Basically, this stuff is like fusion power - 5 years away and it always will be. I'd love to be proven wrong!
