We all know most products in our home will be connected to the internet. It’s only a matter of time. Surprisingly a scale is one of the first products commercially available and not the smart refrigerator that automatically creates your shopping list.
This scale is WiFi enabled and automatically registers weight, fat and BMI calculation. For more information visit withings.com

Apparently Delhaize Plantijn started with a new classification system by “task”?  I noticed something was wrong when looking for vegetables to be used in a wok at the vegetables-corner. Wrong, I needed to look for this in the wok-corner. (I know one cannot hyperlink in real life but a small sign could have done the trick.) I wonder whether they applied card-sorting for this? btw the former vegetable corner is still in place but without the wok vegetables, but I guess duplication is also more difficult off-line.

It made me think of a joke by Philippe Geubels (a former Colruyt employee), describing a scene in a Colruyt (Belgian hard discounter) where a customer walks up to him:

Customer: “Sir, where can I find the Sugar?”
Employee: “Under the ‘S’!”

(Video in dutch – 2:48)
