New water taps - such a beautiful thing
How often did you burn your fingers recently, because the water that came from the tap was too hot.
How often did you freeze, because it simply was too cold.
Innovation is easy - and why not innovating a water tap. Why not having a tap that indicates the water temperature. Especially when it is beautiful.
Okay, you might still be burnt or frozen initially, because you have to the water run down the tap to see if it is too hot or too cold, but a visual is a beautiful trade-off. Isn't it?
"These sink-fixtures from Germany's Hansa have temperature-sensors that light up different LEDs to indicate the water temp, and replace the traditional tube-shaped spout with a trough that exposes the water as it courses out."

They are beautiful, aren't they? Just expensive, probably, but if you have too much money :) ?? Nah, they are only available in the US, I guess.

Whoa, those things look pretty sweet. Practical too, which is a refreshing change from all the cool looking but ultimately useless new-age furniture. :P
