Cooking Dinner From the Road

Posted by Zonk on from the dear-fridge-please-restock-soda dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "After 12 years of development and with the help of NASA's Embedded Web Technology software, the TMIO company is delivering its first smart ovens. You can monitor these refrigerator-ovens from any Internet connection. For example, you can adjust and control the oven settings from your cell phone and be sure that dinner is ready when you get home. But cooking from your office or your car won't come cheap: these ovens carry a price tag of $8,699. Right now, they're only available in North America, but I bet there soon will be distributors in other parts of the world. Read more for additional details about these smart ovens."

    As a sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is worth almost ten grand to not have to spend my entire day worrying if I did, indeed, leave the oven on.

    Now if they could only port this technology for my coffee maker.

      Yes, but how can you be sure your oven doesn't get a Trojan? Hmm, Mr. OCD? Better checksum your firmware again!

      Luckily, I don't have OCD. But I am paranoid, so how did you know my fly was open???

    $8000.00 to cover the cost of the manufacturer's liability insurance.

    Man if you can afford $9000 for an oven, then why bother ...
    Go out to a funky cafe/resteraunt, and spend that $16 on a well made pizza/pasta/stake and 3 beers.

    You don't understand the term conspicuous consumption do you? You're supposed to spend 9K on the oven, then go the funky cafe. Then you tell your companion "Excuse me for a moment," pull out your blackberry and do a few taps, casually explaining off hand that you're telling the oven to put the Kobe steaks back into the fridge and not to decant the 1855 Château Latour.
