I can't believe it :)
But I do somewhat agree with the shipping culture. I've created some
small applications myself for various people, and if you initially ask
them "What do you want?", they can't tell you. But if you show them
something - anything - then they start to get ideas and you can go from
there.

The "internet of things" is underway, and the same "ship it and be damned"
attitude prevails. Especially re (absence of) security.
The Christmas Playstation and X-Box attack was launched from compromised home routers.
Behind those same routers is now an array of {un,in}-secured devices. The future
"bot of things" - toaster, fridges, TVs that listen to your every word (not
just the command to change channel). Even egg trays - I kid you not.
TVs have been the first to make it into the news for leaking (deliberately)
information, but think about your automated thermostat telling the world you've
just left the house ....
