A Kitchen Computer That's Actually Useful?
twilightzero writes: "I was at the Rochester Area Builders' Home Show (Rochester, MN) today and ran across what looks to be first actually useful and practical computer appliance I've ever seen. Called the iCEBOX, it mounts under your cupboard or sits on your countertop, but I found the under the cupboard model much more attractive. It includes an LCD display on a tilt/swivel mount that locks up out of the way to protect the screen, a DVD drive and with DVD software so you can watch movies or listen to cd's while cooking, cable ready 125 channel tv receiver, and the ability to act as a remote monitor for a camera (as in a baby's room or the front door), useful for all you X-10 owners. But the best touch, IMHO, is the spillproof, shockproof, greaseproof, and washable wireless keyboard that comes with it, an absolute necessity for the kitchen. It also includes a modem and NIC and says it's compatible with any dialup or broadband service that doesn't require the downloading of software (i.e. prodigy yes, AOL no). There's no mention on the website about the hardware or software that it's running but with its name I might assume it's running Windows CE or Pocket PC...not sure though, since it also says it's not compatible with MSN. I'm thinking about redoing my kitchen sometime soon, I might have to put one of these on the list for installation ..."

Nice to see it moved out of the way though. Good if you have a kitchen/diner combined area as well, as you can eat dinner whilst watching downloaded porn.
when it can do the dishes, get the shopping done, and have dinner waiting for me when I get home.
Until then it's a waste of space.
Behold the Power of Cheese!
Hey, I have a lot of respect for all you guys who like to eat pussy because there are too few of you out there. And I'm not the only woman who says this. Furthermore, some of you guys who are giving it the old college try are not doing too well, so maybe this little lesson will help you out. When a woman finds a man who gives good head, she's found a treasure she's not going to let go of him too quickly. This is one rare customer and she knows it. She won't even tell her girlfriends about it or that guy will become the most popular man in town. So, remember, most guys can fuck, and those who can usually do it satisfactorily, but the guy who gives good head, he's got it made.
Most women are shy about their bodies. Even if you've got the world's most gorgeous woman in bed with you, she's going to worry about how you like her body. Tell her it's beautiful, tell her which parts you like best, tell her anything, but get her to trust you enough to let you down between her legs. Now stop and look at what you see.
Beautiful, isn't it?
There is nothing that makes a woman more unique than her pussy.
I know. I've seen plenty of them. They come in all different sizes, colors and shapes; some are tucked inside like a little girl's cunnie and some have thick luscious lips that come out to greet you. Some are nested in brushes of fur and others are covered with transparent fuzz. Appreciate your woman's unique qualities and tell her what makes her special. Women are a good deal more verbal than men, especially during love-making. They also respond more to verbal love, which means, the more you talk to her, the easier it will be to get her off. So all the time you're petting and stroking her beautiful pussy, talk to her about it.
Now look at it again.
Gently pull the lips apart and look at her inner lips, even lick them if you want to. Now spread the tops of her pussy up until you can find her clit. Women have clits in all different sizes, just like you guys have different sized cocks. It doesn't mean a thing as far as her capacity for orgasm. All it means is more of her is hidden underneath her foreskin.
Whenever you touch a woman's pussy, make sure your finger is wet. You can lick it or moisten it with juices from inside her. Be sure, by all means, to wet it before you touch her clit because it doesn't have any juices of its own and it's extremely sensitive. Your finger will stick to it if it's dry and that hurts. But you don't want to touch her clit anyway. You have to work up to that. Before she becomes aroused, her clit is too delicate to be handled.
Approach her pussy slowly. Women, even more so than men, love to be teased. The inner part of her thigh is her most tender spot. Lick it, kiss it, make designs on it with the tip of your tongue. Come dangerously close to her pussy, then float away. Make her anticipate it.
Now lick the crease where her leg joins her pussy. Nuzzle your face into her bush. Brush your lips over her slit without pressing down on it to further excite her. After you've done this to the point where your lady is bucking up from her seat and she's straining to get more of you closer to her, then put your lips right on top of her slit.
Kiss her, gently, then harder. Now use your tongue to separate her pussy lips and when she opens up, run your tongue up and down between the layers of pussy flesh. Gently spread her legs more with your hands. Everything you do with a woman you're about to eat must be done gently.
Tongue-fuck her. This feels divine. It also teases the hell out of her because by now she wants some attention given to her clit. Check it out. See if her clit has gotten hard enough to peek out of its covering. If so, lick it. If you can't see it, it might still be waiting for you underneath. So bring your tongue up to the top of her slit and feel for her clit. You may barely experience its presence. But even if you can't feel the tiny pearl, you can make it rise by licking the skin that covers it. Lick hard now and press into her skin.
Gently pull the pussy lips away and flick your tongue against the clit, hood covered or not. Do this quickly. This should cause her legs to shudder. When you sense she's getting up there toward orgasm, make your lips into an O and take the clit into your mouth. Start to suck gently and watch your lady's face for her reaction. If she can handle it, begin to suck harder. If she digs it, suck even harder. Go with her. If she lifts her pelvis into the air with the tension of her rising orgasm, move with her, don't fight her. Hang on, and keep your hot mouth on her clit. Don't let go. That's what she'll be saying too: 'Don't stop. Don't ever stop!'
There's a reason for that - most men stop too soon. Just like with cock sucking, this is something worth learning about and worth learning to do well. I know a man who's a lousy fuck, simply lousy, but he can eat pussy like nobody I know and he never has trouble getting a date. Girls are falling all over him.
But back to your pussy eating session...There's another thing you can do to intensify your woman's pleasure. You can finger-fuck her while she's enjoying your clit-licking talents. Before, during or after. She'll really like it. In addition to the erogenous zones surrounding her clit, a woman has another extremely sensitive area at the roof of her vagina. This is what you rub up against when you're fucking her. Well, since your cock is pretty far away from your mouth, your fingers will have to do the fucking.
Take two fingers. One is too skinny and three is too wide and therefore can't get deep enough. Make sure they're wet so you don't irritate her skin. Slide them inside, slowly at first, then a little faster. Fuck her with them rhythmically. Speed up only when she does. Listen to her breathing.
She'll let you know what to do. If you're sucking her clit and finger-fucking her at the same time, you're giving her far more stimulation than you would be giving her with your cock alone. So you can count on it that she's getting high on this. If there's any doubt, check her out for symptoms. Each woman is unique. You may have one whose nipples get hard when she's excited or only when she's having an orgasm. Your girl might flush red or begin to tremble. Get to know her symptoms and you'll be a more sensitive lover.
When she starts to have an orgasm, for heaven's sakes, don't let go of that clit. Hang in there for the duration. When she starts to come down from the first orgasm, press your tongue along the underside of the clit, leaving your lips covering the top. Move your tongue in and out of her cunt. If your fingers are inside, move them a little too, gently though, things are extremely sensitive just now.
If you play your cards right, you'll get some multiple orgasms this way. A woman stays excited for a full hour after she's had an orgasm. Do you realize the full impact of that information? The potential? One woman was clocked at 56 orgasms at one sitting. Do you know what effect you would have on a woman you gave 56 orgasms to? She'd be yours as long as you wanted her.
The last advice I have for you is this: After you've made her come, made her your slave by giving her the best head she's ever had, don't leave her alone just yet. Talk to her, stroke her body, caress her breasts. Keep making love to her quietly until she's come all the way down. A man can get off and go to sleep in the same breath and feel no remorse, no sense of loss. But a woman by nature requires some sensitivity from her lover in those first few moments after sex.
Oral sex can be the most exciting sexual experiences you can have. But it's what you make it. Take your time, practice often, pay attention to your lover's signals, and most of all, enjoy yourself.
The G-Spot
This does exist. And in over half of the women out there, it works better than anything else you can do to cause a strong, prolonged orgasm. The original name is the Grafenberg spot, after a doctor, Earnest Grafenberg, who documented the area (which may have been known by people here and there throughout history) in the fifties.
This "spot" is a small "mound" of tissue inside the vagina, between a penny and quarter in size, which responds to being pressed upon. It's almost certainly not the skenes glands, (which are located around the urethra, which is behind the G-spot area), as has been suggested by a few people. In fact, the G-Spot is the tissue in that raised area of the vagina, which has a higher concentration of sexual nerves, and produces hormones similar to those made by the male's prostate gland.
A sort of map to the area -- Imagine your lover lying on her back, legs spread. Your position is between her legs. You would slide a finger inside her vagina, palm up. With your finger straight back, middle finger is best, you would curve it toward yourself, gently, as if you were gesturing to someone to "come here". In doing so, the area you press on should be pretty near her "G-Spot" area. If you know enough to follow the urethra (the tube that leads from the bladder to where the pee comes out), along the inside of her vagina, you may feel a slight swelling (if she's excited) at the point where the g-spot is.
She must be excited, especially if either you or she is new to the g-spot, for the g-spot to have any real effect at all. It's not the ideal area for getting your lover aroused.
But when she is excited, this area (more often than not) is the best way to bring her to orgasm. You work your way back to it gradually, teasing her (typically, this works best) with your fingers, slowly and gently. It's easier to hit the right area with two fingers, but this may not be comfortable for her, depending on how "tight" she is at that moment. When you have your fingers around the right area, try gently pressing, not too quickly. The movement should be fairly rhythmic. It's typically best if you're licking her clitoris (or near it, depending on the woman) at the same time...don't make a big deal out of the "quest", this will often make her feel self-conscious, or distracted. The licking should seem to be the primary activity.
When you find the right area, she should respond by getting more excited. Most of the vagina's inside surface isn't really that sexually sensitive, believe it or not...most of the excitement of randomly inserting fingers is more psychological than from the actual stimulation.
While more complicated techniques work with some women, some of the time, the best basic technique, upon finding the g-spot, is to continue to slowly, rhythmically press on it, while licking her clitoris (for a few women, the labia (lips) are sensitive to licking, too).
This should cause her to build up to an orgasm.
A G-Spot orgasm is different (always, when it works at all) than any other kind women have. It is possible, with some women, to have different qualities and kinds of orgasms from vaginal, clitoral, anal, and even breast stimulation...but with other women, those kinds of orgasms are all pretty much the same. But the G-Spot orgasm not only feels different; it also causes her body to react in a different way.
First, it often causes a "push out" orgasm. The area around, or "above" (farther inside, that is) your fingers seems to swell up or to contract toward the opening of her vagina.
If you find the right combination of pushing back when this happens, and slacking off to let it push out, you can cause (in perhaps half of the women) her orgasm to continue happening, long after normal ones would have subsided. In some women you can even keep her at a "plateau" (raised level) of sexual excitement, like a prolonged orgasm (or a little less than one) afterward, building up to an even bigger climax.
That brings me to another important point; G-Spot orgasms sometimes causes a huge amount (relatively speaking) of lubrication (juices, wetness)...far more than even the most excited woman gets from "conventional" stimulation.
When that extra wetness combines with the push-out orgasm, you get actual ejaculation...like a guy, but much better tasting. The built up juices can shoot out in such volume that you, or she, may be afraid that she lost control of her bladder. That is (almost always) not what happened. The fear that she peed can be enhanced by the fact that the urethra is behind the g-spot, so that in rare cases the woman can sometimes get the feeling that she needs to pee, even though she does not.
In reality, in both men and women, enough sexual excitement prevents peeing, unless you try really hard. This is a built-in reflex, because urine is something of a spermicide. The "pee hard-on" that men get in the morning is partially his body taking advantage of this reflex, to keep him from accidentally wetting the bed with the urine that built up while he was sleeping.
Taste
Anyone who likes, say, coffee or beer should have no room to complain about the way most women taste. No, I don't mean it tastes like coffee or beer, genius...I mean that beer and coffee are, at best, acquired tastes...they are not naturally pleasant to a human being, no matter how much your addiction to one or both has convinced you otherwise. Most people, whether they remember it or not, had to learn to like the taste of beer/coffee, and had the desire to be Like the Adults to help them along. Well, I'd list taking pleasure in cunnilingus above drinking addictive beverages on the list of things that prove maturity. Aside from that, there's the fact that many people who give it an honest try genuinely enjoy the taste/smell.

do we need to watch tv all the time? when we are working with hot things, etc?
I don't like TVs in cars, either. There are times when we shouldn't watch tv.
Yes, there is free enterprise. You have a right to buy this. However, the more people buy it, the more "ubiquitous" having every room wired becomes.
Think about it from your grandkids' perspective: They might have to have a computer in every room of the house for their 18 hour workdays.

These guys make absolutely bulletproof power supplies too. But take this, throw in a wireless/RF keyboard/mouse combo, and put in a 15" flat panel ($200 now?) and you have something for the kitchen or wherever.

the might have just chosen to call it an iCEBOX because it's a box, they wanted to use jargon (i-). and being for the kitchen wanted to give it some sort of name that would fit in with the rest of your everyday stuff. Ice, commonly found in freezers, or an ice-box, a name for a freezer type thing; iCEBOX or i-cebox, fits right in. Follow?

Wow, the new desktop iCEBOX looks a bit like my Mac SE/30.
Is this something ANAL COX would find useful?
This is something that I could build with a Spacewalker case, a mid-range Celeron, a DVD-ROM drive, and a flat-panel monitor. Toss in a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse, an inexpensive remote control, and a PCI TV tuner card, and you're good to go for less than this alleged "iCEBOX" (ugh) costs. How do I know? I have one in my kitchen right now. It runs Linux, too.

The flipdown one is $2995.00. OUCH. Still it is a neat device, but missing a few key features I think. Where is the touch screen? Recipie program? Wireless? I couldn't find if it would play streaming audio from my server. Since it doesn't look to allow loading of software, no AOL or MSN, how does it get updated for new software? I really would like to have a LCD panel WITH touch screen in my kitchen that I could view recipies and play streaming audio with. Oh well, back to coming up with something myself I guess.
Who would own one? The darn pop-up and pop-under ads have turned me off to it.

If I want to listen to a CD, I'll turn up my amp, or tune into Digitally Imported on my PC and be done with it. What I'd rather have in the kitchen is a recipe server. Something with...say...the Joy of Cooking built in, along with plugins for other recipe books, and the ability to input my own recipes.
So lessee, I'm in the mood for a chicken dish. What recipes have chicken in them?

I think this company failed to notice the burst in the dotcom bubble. Geeks, the only creatures liable to pay just short of $3k for a kitchen computer (nice as it may be), are now earning a pittance, and that's those who can even find work. Just how many of these things to they reckon they are going to sell?
Nice idea, but wrong time to introduce it. They should wait until the next "Big Thing" when everybody runs out to spend their entire business budget on fancy chairs and hiring recently graduated wannabe coders with no experience who won't create product and expect to be spoon fed everything.
This has been out for a while. I saw the Icebox at the Atlanta Builders show last february. At the time my company was considering partnering with them.
The booth lackey clearly liked demoing throwing the keyboard into the sink in the booth. IMHO, this was it's best feature.
My single biggest complaint is that the entire machine is done in firmware. There is no disk, and no OS per se.
At the time (last year) the Icebox shipped with it's own custom browser. It didn't have Adobe or flash plugins, and because the software was done in firmware, there was no ability to install these plugins.
This machine is entirely rigid in it's application. This makes no sense in the world of Internet where standards seem to change monthly.
The people behind the Icebox clearly come from a consumer electronics background. These machines have more in common with a DVD player then a PC.
As I mentioned, the waterproof keyboard is the only "feature" of this machine that actually has value. I'd like to see more "Internet Appliances" pick up on this.

Most seeds are fertile, but the best are from Mexico. Never throw your seeds away, for pot is a weed and can be grown almost anywhere.
1) First, soke your seeds overnight in clean, lukewarm water.
2) Obtain a planter box. If this is not avaliable, a plastic dish tray about two inches deep will serve just as well.
3) Fill the container with washed fine sand and shredded sphagnum moss. If this is not readily avaliable, you can use regular soil. The soil should be packed firmly, and watered well so that the excess water is allowed to run off.
4) Dig furrows the full length of the container about one-half-inch deep. Now, you can sow your seeds. Do so every inch. Fill in each furrow with a clear plastic sheet and place it in a warm location where there are atleast 6 hours of sunlight a day.
5) The plants are on their own until they develop their first true leaves.
* Even if the material mentioned above is not avaliable almost the same degree of success can be accomplished by placing the seeds on several layers of water-soaked paper towels. Now cover the seeds with a plastic sheet just as above, and expose to sunlight.
** In about a week, signs of life should appear. Within two weeks, definite little leaves should be present. This is the time to transplant.
Transplanting
1) The soil should be similar to the original soil used in the germinating box. Make sure you pull up all other weeds in the general area allowing your plant as much freedom of growth as possible.
2) The original germinating box should be watered the day before you are going so as to make the move easier on the plants, and cut root damage to a minimum. The plants should be placed in holes two or three inches, depending on the size of the plant.
3) If there is a lack of sunlight, a small amount of tin foil around the plant can be very helpful for the first few days are the most critical after the actual transplant.
4) If the plants survice the shock, there should be no reason why they shouldn't grow into healthy, fully grown plants (which means, in certain climates, fifteen to twenty feet high).
Care
Very little care is needed after this stage, with the exception of fertilization. For fertilizers, one can use a soluble nitrogen, nitrate of soda, sulfate of ammonia, or rotting garbage. Remember the ground around your plants should be clear of weeds, but strangely enough, insects and marijuana do no harm.
Harvesting
When the plants are obviously ready to be cut, you must prepare a place for them to dry. The best drying is in the sun, but if you live in the city, it could be embarrasing and dangerous to have five or ten fifteen-foot marajuana trees hanging out of your fire escape. In this case, a sun lamp may be used. When using the sun, drying usually takes about two weeks. With a sun lamp, the pot is ready after only three or four days. When drying is done, take the leaves and crush them. This will be used as smoke, and you know the story from there.
I have found that when the seeds are first growing, that the rain has almost no effect if there is good enough covering. Otherwise, it may flood. Have fun!
One thing I always thought a computer would be useful for in the kitchen is is a digital cookbook. My mom has all sorts of old, tattered recipes shoved in a folder. Just whip up a quick PHP set of scripts that will allow you to enter, edit, and view recipes and you'll never lose one again.
Okay, I'm dreaming now but I don't think it's so far-fetched. It would need a way to input what foods you just bought and the amounts (bar code scanner?) and then what food you just used and the amounts. Combine that with a recipe database and you can input that you just made pancakes and it will automatically deduct milk, eggs, flour....
Of course, then the kid will sneak some chocolate cake in the middle of the night and the data will get all messed up. But a girl can dream :).
Or does the icebox look like an old 80's style Macintosh Classic?

Kind off odd that Slashdot would finally mention the icebox, considering that it was in PC Magazine months ago in the After Hours section... Typically, I consider Slashdot to have the latest news, albeit with slightly less accuracy.

I wish I had some sort of computer terminal in the kitchen that was somehow attached to a recipe database. This product would work except for two problems. First, it looks really hard to program -- I'm guessing that you'd need special drivers for it. Second of all, it doesn't appear to have a touch screen on it. I don't think I'd want to leave a keyboard sitting around the kitchen. It would get dirty quickly, and it would get in the way.
I want a simple X-terminal with a flat-panel touch screen that mounts under the cabinets like this one does. I could then write a graphical application that interfaced with the recipe database and control it by touching the buttons on the screen. This is close, but probably not what I want. Grrr....
But does it have a High Speed link to Food TV?

Oh wait. I'm not a rich Slashdot IPO millionaiire with free product perks if I blatently plug one as legitamite news.
The price tag apears to be $3,000. I ask why pay this?
If I have the extra cupboard space (and many people have it), I can easily build a similar system. Take an empty kitchen cupboasrd of mine. It is 11.5 inches deep, 16 inches wide, and 19 inches tall. Using this available space, I can fit a LCD monitor into the front facing (15 inch). I could also add say a DVD drive and mount it underneath. To protect everything could be encased in plexi.
The total cost would be under around 1200.
Wile this is a good all in one solution, I beleive that the more savvy users could easily build a much cheaper solution.

This is what I tell my girlfriend, but does she listen?
I'm also losing patience with the "in" use of the letter "i" being tacked onto the front of every new "i"nternet enabled device. I almost completely lost it when they started putting "e" in the front of everything, but then a whole bunch of those companies went "e"xtinct.
Ok, so we can do google lookups, look up recepies and play mp3s hosted on the main box in the basement with pretty cheesy sound. No DVD movies but, dammit, we're cooking dinner.
The important part is that it didn't cost $3000. When somebody spills a pot of spaghetti on it, well, there goes another 486 laptop, not the marriage.
It's a kitchen, people. It's a social place. Any computer stuff in it should take its lowly utilitarian place alongside the potato peelers and colanders or get the hell out.
I am not sure, I do have a very close relationship with my mother.
It's not as bad as it sounds because I am adopted and all through my teen years I enjoyed sex with my 3 very sex step sisters.

Kitchen PC's have always attracted my attention, since I spend a lot of my spare time cooking or brewing beer. I love to cook, it's one of my favorite hobbies (next to eating, perhaps!) and so when I see kitchen devices, I'm pretty harsh unless it gets it "right".
So, let's look at this baby. Waterproof, shatter proof, so far so good. TV tuner, very nice. DVD so you can listen to music, not bad, although un-necessary for me since I have an MP3 server. But this is seriously missing the point, IMHO. Why would I want a TV tuner? Yeah, it would be nice to watch TV while cooking, but I like watching those cooking shows. And the recipe tends to fly by too fast! I want to record the show as I'm watching, rewinding, pausing, and so on. As for the keyboard, it's nice to be water proof, but I just don't want to move a bulky keyboard around when my hands are covered with dough, oil, sauce, what not. Flat panel screens should be touch sensitive, and ave an on-screen keyboard! And when it comes time to wash it, think about it. How easy do you think it would be to remove gunk from between the keys, versus removing the LCD and washing it like your other dishes, with it's flat surface and all? (No, I'm not asking for a dish washerable LCD, just removeable and hand-washable.)
I think the problem is that the designers still look at these as peecees. Yes, it would be nice if it were a real PC since us geeks could easily customize it to do what we want. But most importantly, this is a tool, a kitchen appliance. Focus should be on that aspect, not "what cool feature is available on the PC market today?" Computers were meant to be tools, not self-conclusive devices. And that's what I want in my kitchen!
Just how many movies/cds can you watch/listen to while waiting for your 5 minute pizza to cook in the microwave??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Man, just buy a $1000 dell, stick it out of site in a cabinet, and hookup an lcd/washable keyboard.
It looks cool and all, but $3K? No way.
Wouldn't one of those heavy duty military grade laptops be the go for this? Surely it would be chealer, and in addition to music/movies, you could actually hook it up to your SQL server full of recipes and have it generate your shopping list.
O/S could be anything that can talk to a server with a database.
If my call is important, why am I talking to a recording?
huh?

This is an interesting device but hasn't been thought out too well. These would be nice.
1. Touch Screen for easy menu selection.
2. Bar code scanner for scanning in groceries.
3. Built in b/w scanner for scanning recipes.
Forget the DVD/TV player combo and give me the previous instead.
Get an Audrey with a USB ethernet adapter and you have a cheap kitchen internet appliance for a little more than 100 bucks. What's even better is that it runs QNX.
I use my Audrey in my kitchen to pull up recipes, get the weather and even to control my whole house mp3 player.
It's great for doing a quick search when you're too lazy to go to your desktop.

would be the option of letting it pick recipes randomly based on the ingredients in the fridge. I think this has already been done on some website or another, just that this would be that much more automatic. :)

Especially useful shortly before payday.

Since I purchased a wireless access point a few months ago, I have no need for a "kitchen computer." I just take my laptop wherever I want to work in my house. I think that since the use of wireless networking continues to grow, people will stick to multifunctional laptops and PDA's rather then spending money on a system that is designed to function in only one specific area.
Heh. It looks nearly *identical* to my Color Classic.
I'm not sure why anyone would want the freestander, given the premium counterspace is getting to be (appliances, anyone?) but the cupboard-hugger doesn't look too bad. As long as it's got a decent browser for recipes, and (ideally) could talk to my TiVo/whatsisname box to show me the Iron Chef shows I recorded...

Impossible, as a former MSN Tech Support weiner I can tell you that MSN uses standard PPP MS-CHAP dialups with a username of "MSN/" and your regular password.
Kindof hard to not be compatible with that.

A number of comments in this thread remark on the need for a touch screen. I believe a better solution would be to incorporate some type of voice activation / voice recognition. Make the system completely hands free. Voice recognition technology has advanced quite a bit in the past few years, and it would make the product infinitely more accessible to your average user. A keyboard/mouse/remote could still be included, but the unit should be capable of being operated completely by voice command.
In my kitchen?
People need to take a lesson from the success of the Palm. The Palm is a device that fills a niche well and does little else. The result is a well-tuned machine that doesn't cost too much. There are some things that I want to do in my kitchen. Optimize a device for them.
I'll consider wiring my kitchen when I can get a machine for a few hundred bucks that can serve me up recipies, access the Webtender, and check my email. If it does more, great, but form and price are key here.
Here are the specs that I'd like to see in a kitchen machine:
- No more than 8"x6"x1" deep so that it will attatch under my cabinet and not get in the way. Counter space is a premium.
- A small screen. Maybe 6" diagonal. I don't want the thing to get in the way too much even when I'm using it.
- No keyboard. No mouse. Make it a touch screen. Counter space, remember?
- Integrated 802.11. I don't want to have to recable anything.
- Less than $500.
I don't see why this isn't doable now. Start with a palm, use a bigger screen, and integrate a wireless card. Voila!Follow similar logic to create my wireless tablet, my bedside-table computer, my waterproof shower computer.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
That's why it should also have a catalog of your food. If you don't know what to make, it will tell what you can with the ingredients in your fridge.
I would also like something like this for my bar. I have software but its not interactive. Something that could print out shopping lists, and tell me how to mix drinks. I dont need the movie feature, but controlling my stereo or play mp3s would be nice.
To break it down:
1) The "i" starter is cool
2) It seems to run WinCE as its OS
3) It is indeed a BOX
4) Who can deny that an iCEBOX belongs in a kitchen?

The Right Reverend K. Reid Wightman,
Why exactly is Linux free-er then FreeBSD?
Comon people, this is news! The Slashdot community has been running Linux for so long, they're forgotten what a useful computer is!
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
Yes, having a computer in the kitchen is great for things like: keeping your grocery list, displaying recipes, setting multiple timers for cooking times, keeping track of nutritional contents, etc. But who on earth would watch a movie?! If your hands are that free, you're not going to stay in the kitchen to watch on a tiny screen. Playing music or streamed radio? Maybe. But piece of crap computer can handle that. This thing is a useless gadget. And if you really want to be able to browse / e-mail in the kitchen or other locations with small terminals, don't you think you'd at least want a centralized login to each machine in the house? Oops. And no, WinCE won't cut it for that. Lameness..
Recipezaar.com does this already (except for the MP3 part). Just get a cheap machine, put it in your kitchen and hook it up to the net.
Finally, something that I can set up next to the shitter so I never have to take a break from coding. Yeah!
Personally, I think this device won't end up doing that well either... Why? the price is to high. People will wonder 'why should i get this instead of a pc or an imac?' For an internet appliance to be successful is for it to be low cost AND robust...
What I think would be interesting to see someone do is market a combination of superthin clients designed for the enviroment they are in, and a server to serve applications... Perhaps do it over 802.11... Applications could be distributed to a terminal that was liquid spill-resistant, or perhaps push button in the kitchen. Special terminals for the kids would be available, and in the family room another terminal could be used to control a dvd or cd changer, and surf the internet. Essentially, design a good system that lets multiple devices connect to it... I know it's doable, it would just be interesting to see someone do..

One reason why MSN might not be supported is because all POP3 MSN email accounts now have to be accessed using Outlook with Secure Password Authentication turned on, which happens to be a MS proprietary authentication protocol.
I think we're going to see more and more devices (i.e. any not made by Microsoft) be incompatible with MSN. Kind of sad.
iOpener.. hacked to use linux and added a touchscreen... Or a basic hacked Gateway Connected web appliance.
don't need a keyboard at that point. no I cant watch a DVD from it or watch tv... but then those are 2 useless features for me and most prople., if you can afford a PC in your kitchen then you already spent $300.00 on a dishwasher, so watching TV while washing dishes isn't needed. being able to access my recipies easily and listen to mp3's (by commanding the Audiotron in the basement, and telling the Home automation system to switch on the kitchen speakers to the audiotron's source....( BTW, I have a measely $90,000 home getting rich mans automation and whole house audio is easy and cheap you can get a more sohpisticated system than the richest man on the planet can buy for less than $10K total) If you really wanted to watch DVD's in your kitchen on a 9 inch screen, get a small sony Wega and actually enjoy the DVD instead of looking at a low quality screen. I cant see anyone spending that kind of money for a Kitchen PC, except for the rich that have money to burn.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Dad: Because you want the dishwasher to match the rest of the appliances.
Now I'm sure it'll be able to make a huge dent in the consumer/home market, with compatibility like that...
Well if I could afford the best part of 3 grand for a TV/Hi-Fi in the kitchen, I'd just get a chef!

"Windows and Linux can co-exist on the same machine." - Microsoft Corporation.
I dunno, all I make is Kraft Dinner and easy stuff like that, and I've got the good ol' radio. I'm not a technological luddite, but I hardly see a purpose for this computer, and while my noodles are cooking it's not so hard to just go in the next room and catch a couple of glimpses of the TV. But do I really need to be in front of the media every minute of the day? Sometimes the kitchen's a nice break.

can be had for a fraction of the cost of a 'IceBox'. I should know, I've got one sitting right here. With a few brackets, available at any hardware store, you could even mount it under your kitchen cabinet.
Oh, and did I mention it runs Linux? And is easily modifiable? $199 + monitor.
The ice box is a great idea, especially for the wives or whoever is in the kitchen especially if you work at home or what not. Or if you just want to do something to pass the time while you are cooking. So it is a great thing.
I could use that spillproof, shockproof, greaseproof, and washable wireless keyboard in my office !
