Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Sure, we’ve been living in a chain of safe houses and seedy motels since 1968, but that doesn’t mean that you may’t have nice things. A two-car garage, white picket fence, and a healthy lawn: that’s the yank Dream, right there. But with all that middle class comfort comes responsibility — and the way are you going to search out the time to maintain the grass under control while you’re working three jobs to maintain with the mortgage in your McMansion? Friends, that’s where Husqvarna’s My Automower app is available in. That’s right: in place of sending SMS messages on your GPS-enabled Automower , all of its functions (starting, stopping, tracking the object’s progress via GPS) can now be handled from the security of your iOS device. What it’s going to not do, however, is transform your robot lawnmower right into a semi-autonomous, blade-wielding backyard defender (hopefully the corporate addresses that during a software update). PR after the break.
