The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Linux-operated Flash-frozen Fresh Ice Cream
Now this is cool. (No pun intended, but if the snowshoe fits...)
MooBella, a nine-employee company in Taunton, Massachusetts, has developed a machine no larger than a Coke vending machine that instantly makes a scoop of ice cream from fresh ingredients stored within.
Conventional ice cream is made by slowly whipping air into a cream base. MooBella's machine instantly injects air into the ice cream as it's flash-frozen.
The dairy ingredients are sealed in sterile plastic containers, with no need for refrigeration. The machine includes "mix-ins" such as chocolate chips and crushed cookies. It's run on a Linux operating system, and features an LCD display on the front, where customers can create their own custom flavors from a base of twelve.
MooBella is in talks with Starbucks, which could, practically overnight, become the world's largest ice cream chain.
Other targeted locations include airports, movie theaters, and hotel lobbies.
I can't wait for this one to catch on! Anyone seen one of these yet?

Isn't capitalism grand?? Fulfilling needs that you didn't even know you had.

Have I seen one? I've been to the place where they're built!
My company is trying to get designed in to that product :-)
