This Old MS-House

In the software giant's House of the Future, a palm scan opens doors, there is no music piracy, teenagers depend on RFIDs and magic mirrors to get dressed, the musician Jewel can remotely control the images shown on the walls, and pizza magnets help decide what gets displayed on the bulletin board.

    You know that a one-word name attempt has failed when you are referred to as "the musician Jewel".

    Madonna, Cher, and Bono succeeded. They crested the one-name hill.

    The musician Seal and the musician Jewel (and others) just didn't quite make it.
