Ack! It's happened! It's actually happened!

From the NYTimes, on the Ars Electronica conference:

"Even the cafe here was interactive: Hisako Yamakawa had a tea dispenser in which one deposits a euro. A screen lights up and asks you to sign a promise to enjoy the tea and drink it all, and the signature then determines the exact blend."

Does anyone else have horrific childhood memories of the Infocom game?
I live in a world where I can sign promises to enjoy my tea and have to sign a voting promise to hear my President speak in person. And yet, I don't have a flying car.

I can't get to the Underdogs at work, but I don't think it's linked there anymore: this means that when Radio 4 grabbed it for publishing an updated version, they probably asked people to take their free copies down.

Just speculation though.
