All this talk about "smart" appliances ... why not a "smart" tissue box? Perhaps it could work in conjunction with a smart thermometer that tells the tissue box when someone will likely have a runny nose due to the weather outside. Maybe this will be Apple's first consumer appliance!?!

Some people have money to spend !
...has a spare cube?
Not to be a "nit-picker" ... but he may want to watch out. Though most people use 'kleenex' as a general term, Kleenex is actually a trademarked name and not actually a public use type of word.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. It's kinda scary or something.
another smart appliance idea: it listens for sniffles and sneezes, and then automaticlly dipenses a iTissue (iWipe maybe?) (or Kleenex, if you prefer the name brand stuff)
I bet he used a box of kleenes, crying over what a stupid sucker he is for buying a cube! bwahahahahahaha!
The previous poster is right, Kleenex is actually a trademarked name and everyone is hereby advised that it should not be used to imply a generic tissue; however calling it an iTissue is merely a band-aid solution to the broader issue of brand-name abuse!
