Scoble shares notes from a wearable tech conference at the Computer History Museum: the startup demo winner was a pantyhose company whose product has built-in sensors tracking health signals and predicting periods — useful both for contraception and for timing conception.
He thinks it could sell very well, particularly to markets like Catholics practicing natural family planning. The post also raves about the Google building's architecture, solar tiles, and landscaping, with a nod to Burning Man culture's influence on tech taste.
