LOS ANGELES -- It's another hot summer, and California is officially in a drought, according to Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. A Los Angeles company has come out with a water-saving solution. The doodad, called Cyber-Rain XCI, attaches to sprinkler systems and wirelessly looks up online weather forecasts to determine how much to water the lawn. Hot, humid days will see Cyber-Rain doling out more water. Cool, cloudy days would result in less watering. And, of course, the gadget lays off the drink entirely on rainy days. Because it's a connected device, you can control the schedule and monitor the water use on a computer.
