Next time you are extremely bored or want to impress your computer geek nephews, show them how to hack a soda machine.

Most machines have an up/down bank of selection buttons.

Counting from the top down.
Press the 4th then the 2nd then the 3rd and then the top button. 4-2-3-1.

The LED will change to a menu.

Navigate using the top four buttons.

1. Back
2. Up
3. Down
4. Select.

Using this menu you can find out how many sodas are left in the machine, how much money is in the machine, and how many errors it has logged.

No, you can't get a free soda. I don't think Microsoft was involved.
