#2This can really sample how much sugar is in a custom smoothie? If so that's amazing.

#3The product seems pretty cool, but people really do use the spacebar to scroll.
Headers like the one on this site make doing so very difficult. There's probably a CSS correction that can be applied.

#4This sounds absurdly stupid. I thought it was a joke.

#5What problem is this cup solving? Is it that hard to figure out what you're drinking? (Hint: look at the bottle when you pour, and don't take drinks from strangers.) Is it that hard to keep yourself hydrated? (Just drink when you're thirsty.) And how is a calorie counting cup gonna help me lose weight? (Just DRINK WATER).
I want something that simplifies my life. Not something that needlessly complicates something as simple as drinking without giving me added benefits.

#6I'm wonder if this means we've hit peak 'smart', or if we're still some distance out.
Although I do like the hydration level stuff, I'm just not certain I think a $200($99 if you get in early) cup is the best solution for it.

Can you determine the amount of sugar in a liquid using a low-voltage current? Then possibly, yes.
After some quick googling, it appears this may use the same principal that diabetes glucose monitors use.

#8I'm not sure why exactly I would need this (I don't need a cup to tell me what I'm drinking, and I don't find it difficult to keep track of my beverage habits).
This is interesting from a technical perspective, though. How does it know what's in the cup?

#9This is very interesting. Automating parts of self-measurement is a good way to get people to do it.
I could use this to cut down on the caffeine... lol... would be cool if the lid locks shut after 400mg of caffeine. No more!

Phew, I was worried about this. If I can't sync my Vessyl to my fitbit to my strava profile with nike+ misfit shine integrations, how the hell am I supposed to know exactly how many steps I need to take to optimize my area under the fun curve subject to the constraints that I lose 1.6 pounds but can still eat artisanal cuisine?! The other day I almost went for a walk in the woods, but my Vessyl was dropping its bluetooth connection, so I retreated to the safety of my San Francisco apartment.
