Nothing is cooler than ice cream — which is why I can't wait to see the demonstration of the MooBella Ice Cream System at this week's Demo 2006 show in Phoenix. The vending machine that can create a 4.5-ounce scoop of freshly made ice cream on demand is among the approximately 70 products and technologies being launched at the show, a mix of enterprise (see story, page 36) and consumer innovations. You might think ice cream and technology don't mix, but the MooBella machine uses lots of technology (including a Linux operating system, interactive GUI,several databases and a wireless communications system) that you would be more likely to find in a data center than a cafeteria.
