Cyber Stroke Looking to Shake Up Salt Dispenser Industry

Tech startup Cyber Stroke , announced the introduction a new Bluetooth enabled salt shaker; which the company says is set to revolutionize the way salt is dispensed.  At a press conference in Silicon Valley, co-founder and CEO Martin Thibodaux declared, “The way Americans have used salt shakers for generations is broken, and Cyber Stroke is here to fix it!”.  The sleek new design uses 3D printing technology to customize each salt shaker to fit the users unique hand, or “shake grip”, as it is known in the industry.  The device communicates directly to the Cyber Stroke Cloud via a house’s  wireless network to indicate when the level of salt is critically low.  That triggers an automated order, and a new fresh packet of salt is delivered straight to the user to refill the device. The packet is precisely measured prior to shipment to fill the shaker to the optimal level, eliminating the need to estimate the proper amount to pour out of a larger container as is currently done.  “It is estimated that 2 million hours are spent globally on an annual basis to refill salt shakers, our technology will cut that time in half, enabling people to more productively use their time,” claimed CTO Frank Templeton.  The Mountain View, CA based company has also secured $28,000,000 in Series C venture capital funding, which it plans on using to expand the technology to adjacent platforms such as pepper mills and candy dispensers.

Google Deploys Robotic Middle Finger on Autonomous Vehicles

Tech giant and driver-less car pioneer Google announced that it will be deploying robotic middle fingers on all of its autonomous vehicles.  The deployments will begin in New York, followed by Detroit, Washington D.C.; and then proceed to less hostile driving environments.  The company realized that its current fleet of autonomous vehicles had no way of displaying displeasure or anger when cut-off, tailgated, or for any other rude and generally ass-holey actions.  The middle fingers will have two speed settings.  The "instant" setting will employ a spring mechanism that will rapidly deploy the finger for situations that require quick reaction.  The "slow and steady" setting will feature the driver side window slowly rolling down while the middle finger simultaneously extends out the car towards the offending vehicle.  A camera in the middle finger will record the other driver's reactions, and sophisticated facial recognition software will interpret the reac...
