If you could create a dream product, what would it be? A completely smart networked home. From the computer at the office, the PDA at a friend's house, or the computer in your car, you could tap into your house and get a visual representation of every device. From a remote location, you could tell your coffee machine to brew a cup of joe, tell your bath to fill up, tell your heater to heat or your AC to cool, turn the lights on or off, and so on.
What tech insider secret do you find most useful?
Configuring my AirPort Express to play music wirelessly across my home network to my home-theater system.
