SMS your kettle

Via Martin, SMS your kettle:

Fear not, for PG Tips have invented the SMS kettle. You can now put the water on to boil at the flick of a switch.,..oh, sorry, touch of a button. Just text “switch on” to your kettle’s phone number (there are so many things wrong with this…do you want your kettle to have a phone number?) and it will oblige.

Surely Bluetooth would have been a better option? Although I’m sure it wouldn’t take long until there were horror stories of kettles being bluejacked (for want of a better term) and turned on repeatedly when there was no water in them…

10p to switch my kettle on! I think not. Also, I wonder if PG Tips gets a revenue share from the SMS messages sent…

According to the about page, I'm a miscellaneist — at any given moment I'm a game designer, entrepreneur, programmer, consultant, and/or writer. I also read a lot.
