THE MISSING LINK | Electrolux introduces talking washing machine

Get a load of this! Electrolux is putting a new spin on cleaning 
clothes. It's introduced what it claims is the world's first talking 
washing machine. Available only in India, the Washy Talky steps in
when common sense doesn't quite wash. It spits out commands like
"drop detergent, close lid and relax." Will it wash with Indian
consumers? Electrolux was apparently awash in demand for the
technology and expects to really clean up.
