I really want to have these all thru the house. Control of ambient light it one thing but this is even better. Millions of colours. All controlled from my iDevices.

Argh... pretty soon there will be places where one won't even be able to turn on the lights without a smartphone... ><

Here's an idea - link it to your performance monitoring software of choice, and have it colour-coded to show the usage of your cluster nodes in real time. How cool would that be?!

pretty damn cool. It is the zombo.com of lights.

except it does... what... it is meant to...

ok maybe not zombo.com.

eh. it purportedly is going to have touch controls. so it could act as a switch of sorts if you wanted it to.

With kids deparrting to different corners of the earth, I'm thinking of using mine as a kind of co-presence monitor. Skype and talking is one thing, but something which simulates the sense of knowing that someone is in the next room, or at a certain stage in their daily routine would really anhance the sense of connectedness - even if its only a trick played ononeself ;)

it has a touch switch, as well as an accelerometer that can detect tapping or orientation
