Infrared Toilet Flushers….Presumably, the configuration of these things must be Ph.D.-level complicated, since most are programmed to activate exactly when you’re comfortably positioned on the throne. Timing, as they say, is everything.
Piano Staircase | The Fun Theory
“This is really clever. We need this in all Malls! Good exercise. Watch what a group of engineers did, using fun to get people to use a long staircase with a moving escalator right next to it… At first no one took the stairs; almost 97% of the people took the escalator… Notice how scientists changed how people reacted to climbing a long staircase as first choice…now 166% more people took the stairs.”
the close buttons don’t close the elevator doors in most elevators built in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act. The button is there for workers and emergency personnel to use, and it only works with a key. Whether or not you press the buttons, the doors will eventually close.

Former Apple CEO John Sculley said, “I remember going into Steve’s house and he had almost no furniture in it. He just had a picture of Einstein, whom he admired greatly, and he had a Tiffany lamp and a chair and a bed. He just didn’t believe in having lots of things around but he was incredibly careful in what he selected. The same thing was true with Apple … I think that reflects everything that I have ever seen that Steve has touched.” You would think with all of that money and the technology available to him that Jobs would live in a futuristic dream apartment, but it’s kind of cool that he keeps it real.
Ha, I like this idea too…
