Oral-B Triumph intelligent toothbrush makes sure you brush correctly

Proving that adding an LCD screen and a radio transmitter are sure-fire ways to improve even the lowliest of products, Oral-B has unveiled the latest in its Triumph line of intelligent toothbrushes. The multi-head brush, which has 4 programmable cleaning patterns, communicates with a mirror-mounted LCD display that instructs you on where and how long to brush, and warns you if you're brushing too hard -- just like mom. The handle keeps track of data if you step out of range of the dispay and re-syncs when you come back to spit, so you'll never miss a stroke. Apparently these go on sale in September for $150, but we're going to stick with our Tooth Tunes -- what's a little less polish when you can brush up to The Clash?

It must be sad to work in an industry where there's nothing new to do except come up with this kind of crap.

So, if you're brushing wrong, does it send a shock or something? 'cause if it just tells you, man, that ain't teaching nothing to nobody.
No way I'm upgrading from my Triumph 1.0!
