Ice-cream Portion Size by Level of Stress
Demitrios Kargotis unveiled his Mr Whippy machine at the Ars Technica festival in Linz. It's a self-serve frozen custard machine that doles out portion sizes based on the amount of misery it detects in a voice-stress analysis.
Employing voice stress analysis of the user's answers to specific questions, varying degrees of unhappiness are measured and the counteractive quantity of ice cream is dispensed: The sadder you are, the more ice-cream you get.

That's why people are so fat!
Pretty cool though...
That shit would feed me for days!
Wouldn't people be pretending to be sad, then, just to get more ice cream?
My question is, what if I'm stressed out because I'm fat? More ice-cream is hardly the answer..
