I don't know anything about you, but I do know that I know a somewhat fair amount about electronics and mechanics. I'l just respond to the first one.
> no it doesn't. rfid, weight, a camera, can easily do this.
Dirt, egg-white, temperature variations. Rfid on eggs ? I get my eggs from the market. A nice lady has chickens that lay those eggs. I get 50 of them at once, that is much more then it fits in the egg drawer. (bdw lasers are better then cameras) The best solution i can think of are actually weight sensors (your idea). But even that has immense problems in that all eggs are not equal. Meaning that the whole.. what you call the little cup they sit in.. would have to be weighted. Meaning either separate cups or rubber cups, bout of which are a reliability problem.
>And it's no problem living without a cell phone, or central heating, or indoor plumbing, but we don't see many people running to that lifestyle very often.
Hyperbole. But anyway, have you tried living in a forest ? Just because you think it's bad doesn't mean it is. (see that, i can hyperbole too)
>Just because you don't want something, has no bearing on whether other people want it or not.
I didn't say i don't want it. I explained that it is too much trouble for almost no benefit. Some such things are great. I can think of a dozen things that can be done with electronics that are nice, kind-of useful and, most importantly, actually liable (fairly cheap, reliable and fairly easy to do). An egg-counting refrigerator is not one of them.
Mind you that i love electronics. (my desk is littered with it) Would even be doing it instead of programming if it wasn't so expensive.
