NTT's online aromatherapy

It seems like every few months somebody comes out with some sort of new to transmit scents over the Internet, this time it's NTT's turn. They've been testing a little ball with nozzle that you attach to your PC and then spits out emits a variety of different scents by combining stuff like eucalyptus, sandalwood, lavender, and basil—so basically you can only make it smell like you're hanging out at The Body Shop or one of those hippie candle stores.
Which is probably for the best, because you know what's going to happen as soon as somebody figures out how to hack online scent transmission...
