The Fridge of the Future

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the waste-of-money dept.

oooooops hooked us up with linkage to amuse your brain on a friday. This is a new fridge That has an embedded computer that allows you to manipulate it all sorts of ways. Very strange.

  1. Honey, we've run out of milk! by messman · · Score: 3

    Dear Honey,

    I am sending you this email because I opened the
    fridge and noticed we've run out of milk. I tried
    to buy it from http://www.peapod.com/ but their
    server was down. Or maybe our browser in the
    fridge is not working since I stepped on the
    Ethernet cable when I was preparing coffee.

    Did you leave the fridge plugged into the net all day?

    im sorry but I just can't resist. Such a fridge truly would be "a cold, calculating machine"

    Yes, but can it run Linux? :)

    And such a beauty would surely become my "Open Source" of beer!
