I'm not sure what this dude is complaining about. He says "Oh woe is me, my rice cooker is so complicated! Look at this instruction manual" and then proceeds to post a diagram that includes complicated steps like "put the rice in the pot" and "plug it in". The actual cooking of the rice involves pressing two buttons; one button is literally the power button to turn the damn thing on, and another button lets you select what type of rice you want. If pressing two buttons is considered to be a complicated process, how did he manage to make the blog post?<p>The advent of fuzzy logic in rice cookers is pretty great, in my opinion; maybe he doesn't get a lot of benefit out of the ability to cook e.g. brown rice or bread or vegetables in his rice cooker, but if he's trying to complain that this device is so so complicated, he should probably post an actual complication that he has trouble with, instead of whining about pressing two clearly labeled buttons.
