Singaporean couple's home caught in Web

SINGAPORE (AP): Ashley and Raymond Tang can turn the lights on
in their Singapore home from anywhere in the world.

The couple can also control their television, blender, air
conditioner, stereo, computer or any other appliance from any
corner of the globe -- as long as they have access to the
Internet.

The Tangs live in Singapore's first "Internet home" which was
officially launched on Thursday. Their four-room apartment has
been wired with high-speed Internet connections and they have
touch screens in every room to control their appliances, access
information and order goods for delivery.

If they are running low on noodles, they can swipe the old
noodle package across the touch-screen bar code scanner, sending
the product information to the grocery store. The store will then
deliver the noodles to their door.
