I have heard people say that the keyless remotes for cars, when just out of range of the car, will work if you look at the car and hold the remote up to your temple.

This seem plausible? And what in the world would make something like this work?

"Ok, I'm a geek and I love to have the Internet wherever I am but why in the kitchen?"

From someone who just aquired the parentals old computer when they upgraded, and planned on rearranging my kitchen for it, I'll tell you exactly why I'd like a computer in my kitchen. I now have access to all my recipes (which I store digitally, since it's way to hard to search through them when they are on recipe cards), and having a computer that stays in my kitchen means I don't have to set up a tv tray table for my laptop, which I in turn have to walk around. And I can now watch movies while washing the dishes. :)
