Circa 2012: A Vision of Your Home Life

This is pretty cool. It's about the home in the not too distant future and what it will feel like to come there after a long day's work. If I had a house like this, I wouldn't go to work in the first place...

Your garage door detects your car’s RFID and opens as you pull onto your block. As you settle into your garage, the lights come on in your living room and kitchen; your home media center begins to play the next song on your car stereo’s play list; and the Braun Martini Mixer on the bar in your living room squirts the right amount of vermouth into your perfectly chilled cocktail (shaken, not stirred).By the time you enter your home, it’s like you never left. All your appliances are charged and ready to fulfill your every whim, even before you think of it. And your home media center is the brains behind the entire complex operation.

I'm not sure Microsoft's Xbox 360 is going to be the core component in all this... might be a Loftware Laze-About or something? Who knows.
