Good one...

maybe my oven as a tv screen... probably need oled to make it transparent :p ... high tech cooking. I LIKE]]>Jan 9th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
You have ears, right?]]>Jan 9th 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
washing machine usually takes about 35 minutes and drying will be 40- an hour. as a rough guess.]]>Jan 9th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
you have missed the whole point. ]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
So it may have been in jest, but in reality I could see it being very viable, well as soon as OLEDs drop to a reasonable price.]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
Yeah that would be nice, but the best thing about such products is to keep them as simple as possible. Often washingmachines can be fixed by replacing a small part, When every machine get's advanced electronics in them they are sure fun to use, but when that does not work, you will have to throw away a machine that could work for 20 years...]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/

You do realize Google isn't making this? Someone else is using the technology already available to create something that I find very ingenious. Google didn't have much to do with this except for creating the software and maybe approving the project.

This is actually really awesome in my eyes.]]>Jan 9th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
And Apple is such a good company at listening to their costumers? Hah, maybe for like 10 years ago, now they are just another hyper commercial company, just like Google, Microsoft, Intel.. you name it.

Unlike Apple, Google don't lock in their users.

Also, your l33t is lacking. You should start watching Numbers.]]>Jan 9th 2010 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
It is also a common method in which people get duped into giving up to much information or control to an entity that does not always have their best interests at heart.

Not saying Google is evil, I use their products, I am just saying that people are right to be wary. Besides Google has told us there not evil, right? It's not like they would lie about something like that, honestly!]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 9th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/

If the power goes out while you're at work and the fridge temperature rises above 40 (normally 36), the fridge will message you. It will alert you again at 45 and have a warning on the front of the fridge.

Planning a party tonight? Check the ice container status, and if necessary, turn the ice back on (if it got turned off by accident) and turn on the quick ice mode.

Add cooling elements to the microwave, transfer stuff from the fridge or freezer before you leave for work, and have the unit switch from cooling to heating in time to have a one-dish or stacked supper ready for you when you get home. (Or have two or more units, if you want a multi-course meal ready for you.)

And obviously the fridge can alert you if the door was left open. And the microwave can let you know five minutes after your food is done if you still haven't opened the door.

Another thought - when these add-ons become common, the price per unit will drop dramatically. I remember when I bought my first DVD player in 2001 for half-price at $100 at a Thanksgiving Day sale; now you can get one for $10 at a similar sale.]]>Jan 11th 2010 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/
Most food items don't list the right cooking times. They have some time listed, but don't even say what power level they're for, and you find out after your stuff has turned to rubber that the time was based on some 500w oven. Something listed as "microwave on high for 2-3 minutes" but intended at 500w will be ruined if you cook it for 2 minutes at 1500w. If the microwave can know how long it really needs, that would same a lot of ruined food.

And microwave popcorn! The oven can automatically shut off when popping slows to 2 seconds between pops. I can worry about other stuff.]]>Jan 11th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/touch-revolution-puts-android-in-a-microwave-and-makes-an-update/Jan 29th 2010 4:21PM
