The most ludicrous device I’ve seen in almost 30 years in the computing field!!!

Firstly a design mistake: the screen appears to be located well to low: maybe fine for junior, but mom and dad’s size is different, you don’t wanna surf for minutes bending over to view the screen straight!!!

Then WHO wants to stand in their kitchen in front of their fridge for 15 minutes or more just to locate the lowest price on butter, find a nice recipe with the ingredients they currently have in their fridge, and then order milk coz their supply just ran out???

And WHO wants to spend an extra $1,000 to have a complete PC with a touch screen on their fridge door just to surf a few minutes a day????

AT MOST, I might be interested to have an RFID captor in my fridge that could transmit data (BT or Wifi) to my main computer; telling me I should eat this or that soon becase the peremption date is nearing or make a list of things to buy when supply levels go below some set limits. I still could connect to my main PC from any store to know that kind of information.

My main PC (or a satellite PC like a UMPC linked to it by wifi) is where I’d like to be for all those things, NOT standing for long minutes in front of my fridge.

But of course 1) EVERYTHING I buy and put in this fridge would HAVE to have RFID tags. and 2) if I live in an aparment building, I better put my fridge far away from ALL of my neighbors’ in the nearing apartments coz I don’t want my fridge telling me I have enough champagne in it so I don’t have to buy some coz my boss is coming for diner tonight; while my fridge scanned my neighbor’s bottle instead!!!!

AND that’s without counting the numerous privacy concerns surrounding RFID tags!!!! But that’s another story altogether.

So putting a complete PC in a fridge is as ludicrous as wanting to kill a fly with a nuclear bomb!!!
