re: McDonald’s fan creates live map to track every broken ice cream machine in America

yeah his algorithm is flawed IMO: he places orders at all the restaurants for a mcflurry to see if it reports available or not, then cancels all the orders. The problem is that there is no way in hell the actual machine availablity lines up with whatever you can order online. You'd get to the restaurant and they'd say that the machine is broken, will you accept a substitute?
