The alarm might even go off when your onions burn.

Bluetooth speakers are already with us. However, you still need to punch the remote, insert the memory stick and select songs along the way. What is you could just speak and the speaker searches for the song online? This is the magic of internet enabled speakers. You program voices into the speaker and whenever you mention the song, it will search automatically from the internet.

Net streaming cameras are on mobile devices already. But they have been taken a notch higher by enabling you to stream proceedings from a remote location. When installed at your door, you will see the visitor knocking, talk to him or her over loud speaker and take necessary actions like opening the door or raising an alarm. This is the best option when you have kids who have to be monitored.

As long as it is connected to power through the plug, it can shut down after hours based on its energy consumption.
