Wi-Fi Kettle Takes 11 Hours to Make Cup of Tea

Data specialist Mark Rittman wanted to make tea around 9:00AM, but found himself in an eleven hour saga trying to get his wi-fi tea kettle to work. He documented his struggle on a website that’s also struggling, a social network called Twitter.com.

While Rittman did acquiesce to boiling his water the old-fashioned way—in a “saucepan”—his struggle with his wi-fi kettle continued well into the day.
