you know, they still need the voice technology for you to set the start
time, but it annoys the **** out of me that they don't include the
technology on a single chip that lets the clocks on devices set themselves
through a choice of sources (a gps signal, a WWV radio signal, even a wifi
connection when the home has one).  it's got to be cheaper than voice
recognition technology, and we wouldn't have to do it each time the power
went out!

        This voice-interactive coffee maker sounds interesting.   
         
            The web site for this product is:
        http://www.hammacher.com/Product/77305?source=CJ&cm_mmc
        = CJ-_-1408768- _-1830967-_-Hammacher+Product+Catalog
        Here is the description from the web site.
        This is the first voice-interactive coffee maker that asks, "Would
you like
        to set the clock or set the coffee brewing time?" and operates in
response
        to your verbal commands. Simply saying, "Set the coffee brewing
time," or
        "Set the clock," will prompt the machine to reply, "Please say the
time,
        including AM or PM." It uses an advanced voice recognition system to
        identify any time of day you speak, eliminating the hassle of
fussing with
        buttons. The included reusable, dishwasher-safe plastic filter is
specially
        designed to allow the water to thoroughly saturate coffee grounds,
        maximizing the richness and aroma of coffee. The coffee machine
brews up to
        10 cups at once and allows you to remove the carafe during brewing
to pour a
        cup. To prompt the coffee maker to speak, simply press the "Talk"
button;
        can also be operated manually. Stainless steel housing. 13" H x 9
1/2" D x
        6" W. (4 3/4 lbs.)
        Item 77305
        $99.95
        Available for Immediate Shipment.
