We won't even pretend to act like we're fluent in Japanese, but based on our best understanding of machine translation, Hitachi has a few new refrigerators that will actually spritz your food with antioxidants and vitamins to keep things exceptionally fresh and clean (clean). The R-Y6000 and R-Y5400 will evidently sense what types of foods are stored in what compartments, after which a specified amount of nutrients will be emitted in order to keep things from spoiling too soon. We aren't too keen on a robotic fridge having the power to douse our grub with whatever chemical it pleases, but so long as it uses FDA-approved vitamins, minerals, HGH and anabolic steroids, we suppose we'll live.[Thanks, Penny]
That thing would take up 1/2 of my Tokyo mansion (in Japan mansion = apartment).
By the way, what's "exceptionally fresh and clean (clean)"? I don't get it.

It may be big and shiny (shiny), but I wonder if it also fluoridates ice cubes and water (water)...

Keeping it fake, one food group at a time.
Sweet, now if something in the antioxidants goes back, the whole family can get food poisoning together!

Win! ^_^
If I were a ninja I would so put ninja-grade poisons in those things. I'd be a lazy ninja, I'd try to avoid direct conflicts.

Sorry, me again. :S
Is it just me or do those look like the biggest servers ever.
To put any future comments to rest: If those were servers they'd be able to play both Doom and Crysis, at the same time.....while running Vista Ultimate......
ha thats funny. can it run vista. i need vista for computer classes (xp and os 10 arent allowed) and im nervous that my may 07 macbook with 4 gigs wont handle it. my computer coldboots leopard in 20 seconds but vmware couldnt even handle xp, with 1.5 gigs allotted to just xp. off topic i know but i dont have any computer geek friends who's shoulder i can cry on.
"If those were servers they'd be able to play both Doom and Crysis, at the same time.....while running Vista Ultimate......"
Why?
A: Your comment is stupid.
B: If they were servers, why the hell would you assume you could play two high-requirement games and an operating system?
C: I think you meant supercomputer.
wow monkfishbandana
you're such a loser. do you not have any friends and all you can do is make fun of people? let me guess bad attention is better than no attention? the fact is you knew what he meant so lay the fuck off. jack offs like you ruin the internet for everyone. you're probably some know it all with aspergers and thinks everyone els is an idiot. i bet you're the kind of guy who points his speakers out the window and saves every beer he's ever had. go get laid, and im not talking about chris hanson.
dude...this site is 99% dudes... you're spamming the wrong crowd, Romanian
Point being , just because the FDA gives something the ok, doesn't mean its good for you
I have about as much trust in that FDA as I do in the private the banking mafia cartel (otherwise know as the IRS) .Thats no trust at all.
So having an FDA approved chemical sprayed on my food, while I sleep, is just not gonna happen.
The idea is disgusting.
WTF pretty much sums it up for me.
no , he is from Russia. Romanians cant spell.
Alternatively he could be a gay Lithuanian.
However there is a small chance hes a straight guy from America who has to pretend to be a girl in order to promote his pathetic website.
Pretending to be a girl in a forum...........is about as low as you can go on the scumbag scale.
hang on a sec....
this fridge MAKES nutrients, and then sprays them on your food?
if this fridge makes food already? why put food in it?
All fun and games till it's hacked to spray externally and to spray acid. Also to renamed Fridge bot master of burning human flesh...
Is it bad that before reading the title I thought that was the funkiest full sized tower case I ever saw, but loved the color.
Wake me up when they make these larger with an extra compartment for sleeping and an internet connection--- then I really will be living the Matrix. It will be worth it to save gas money, plus my cubemates at work are getting on my damn nerves anyway....

I for one welcome our acid-spraying refrigerator overlords.
Word.
ou really trust the FDA?
I thought we knew by now that the FDA is controlled by Big Pharma.
This country is in the verge of selling it's self completely to
corporations, and you trust those people? with your health?
F@%#$ NO way!
read some articles in here and let me know if you don't scare the poo out of you.

Ummm, WHY?!
i've long been a fan of engadget. and i've long thought about posting blithe little comments on some of the better posts. the Outkast allusion in this post sealed the deal for me.
oukast reference ftw.
When I looked at the picture and read "Space-age Hitachi..." I thought, hey, cool, shiny computers.
Finally, I don't have to eat vegetables to get my vitamin M.
