I think it should be a USB device and work on a timer so every morning, your toast has the latest engadget news!

You have the best ideas ever!
i'd buy one ..
Even better would be alphabet soup that displayed your email as you are eating it.
I like alphabet soup, but with all the spam I see, I just can't imagine eating that much every day
two month ago I made a commercial
for a toaster like this one >_
That is something I would definitely buy. That's an awesome way to personalize your toast, other than by eating it.
"Uhh... I kind of ate my homework..." Just a better excuse? Not quite.
guess this puts the kabosh on those jebus face toast auctions. now i can buy this and have jebus for breakfast every morning.
Christchex anyone?
LOL. yea that's what i was thinking too...
Mmmmm Jebus.......
My first thought would be it's a great way to leave someone a "morning after" message.
They stumble into the kitchen to find some toast with the message "Dear Joan: Thank you for last night. Please pack your crap and get out."
Or, by the same token, after a passionate, unforgettable night of making love, you toast the message "Will You Marry Me?" onto the piece of toast the next morning. How can she say no?
Two posts on engadget about toasters in the last week.
Pretty soon they're going to have put up a toaster-free link to engadget for all the people that complain about the amount of coverage toasters are getting.
I guess if it was some secret message you could just eat it to dispose of it
Wow, the item of a thousand uses.......
Wow that's a really thick slice bread.
i was thinking the same thing...
It's a common thickness in Japan for breakfast toast. I was rather surprised when I first saw them eating bread that thick. I'd love to make a triple decker cheesesteak sandwich with bread like that. Drool. Slurp.
Thickest. Bread. Ever.
It's called Texas Toast

But can it reproduce the virgin mary...and cry blood? Yeah I didn't think so, stupid toaster.
An obvious place for advertising real estate... Daily dilbert.. or a message from the partner. you have time to butter me up once more.
It's a design. It doesn't work. The designer has NO IDEA how such a thing is going to work, or if it's feasible or even possible.
That's the engineer's job :)
I could really use the voip phone, I'd upgrade to Skype In!
lol wrong entry
You could use a voip phone in a toaster that writes messages on your bread?
put a voip phone in the toast. It's thick enough.
I have turrets, leave me alone, snipe piggy bogger. :-p
it is so hard to post here, wheew, pretty cool sweeps and a nice site.
I'd like to buy one of that
this would be good for high end restaurants to put their logo onto garlic bread and whatever else
I would LOERVE to buy that. You could write one "Butter" One "Cheese" one "Vaseline"
that is one big-ass slice of bread
that is one big-ass slice of bread
Oh my, the other concept at least was sexy, this is ugly and useless.
The next morning, doodle your dick and ask her to butter it.
this is just the kind of thing that republicans want us yammering about while they screw up the world. way to go, all of us.
this ancient idea has been done better five years ago:

Once our robotic friends get a hold of these we will be helpless reicpients of toasted messages and soon be slaves to our vacume cleaners. Eating gleefully out of thier discharge slots. Everything we consume will have some form of instruction on it. Broccoli will be lasered burt "NOT ORGANIC" Bananas will read "Resistance Is Futile".
That said I think I need one.
i wonder if a contract written on a piece of toast would be legally binding...
This is how I would fire employees!!!
handir must have bluetooth
I can already picture it.
Your room mate is making some toast, he goes to the toilet.
The opportunity arrives, you take the stylus and draw something on the toaster.
Moments later, your room mate comes to the realization that he is eating a slice of toast formidably etched with a respectably sized cock & balls.
Some one needs to get WiFi on this thing... Can you say ToasterMail??
A lil light on top lets you know if you have any, just make some toast to see what it is...
Might even make you look forward to easting SPAM. ;)
so let's see:
a) RSS ticker sandwiches
or
b) "BITE ME"
or better yet
c) This sandwich is taken
Holy Virgin Mary Sighting!
