"The disc-shaped mat can be attached to a normal beer mat so that it still soaks up spilt liquid and displays an advertisement. But it also contains a pressure sensor and radio transmitter to alert bar staff of the need for a refill."
I am particularly pleased that this is "Breaking News."

Probably wouldn't work well for me since I'm too absent-minded to actually set my beer down on a particular spot each time and often end up playing with coasters rather than using them. Of course then the 'tender would just constantly think I needed a refill I guess. That could be good. But the thing looks a little risky - like if I don't set my glass right in the middle it could teeter on the edge and (gasp!) fall over. That would be bad.
Leave it to a finance major....
Geesh, the damn thing tells someone to bring you another beer. Details be damned.
sErIoUsLy ... how can you knock a good thing! how about a home version -- empty beer promts buzzer on dog. at sound, dogs is trained to retrieve beer from fridge. of course ... then we'd have to learn to train the pups. heh.
You might be on to something here Bets...try replacing "dog" with "kiker" and I think we have something.
(disclaimer: this comment in no way means to draw any comparison between my beautiful girl Kendra and any dog. This comment is meant entirely to amuse and not to send me directly to the couch.)
To the couch with you!
And don't even ACT like I don't frequently retrieve your beer.
Seriously, though... why CAN'T the pups bring us beer... Maybe we will just have to wait until we have kids.
amy, amy.........please stand up straight and keep your butt-kissing lips to yourself every once in a while, at least. as for the "finance major" comment, did i mention ANYTHING about the price of the IPO of such a gadget, or the financial prospects of investing in said same breaking news invention? NO. was i really knocking a good thing? NO. i simply said it wasn't for me - being a Finance nerd and all. do i think you all suck for knocking me and defending the lazy-i-get-no-attention-from-the-bartender device and needing it to get more beer? NO. i love you all the same. and i hope to have your pup deliver me a beer someday soon too! :o)
Trace - you sound like you could use a beer. ; )
I think you're probably right. :o)
Dang, sounds like we ALL could! i haven't seen this much action on your blog in a while--what's that say about us? Maybe if you bought beer that had corn cobs on the cans, Milo would learn to get them. Although teeth can penetrate aluminum, so...nevermind. And i don't really know where you'd find corn-beer, either. Hm.
