Smart light bulb texts you when it dies

SMS lightbulb

This is great — now, if you don't have any friends, at least you can get SMS messages from your lightbulbs. Fujitsu is responsible for this technology that allows your bulbs to send you a text message when they burn out, so you'll know you need to buy a new one. Sweet. We need to get this enabled around the house stat, so that our toilet paper can tell us when it's out, the cat food can text us when it's low, and so's the fridge can alert us when our ungrateful friends have drunk the last beer.
