A trifle more expensive than fridge magnets.

I am sure that it would get its share of spyware monitoring what you eat, drink, when you do these and so on...

What a waste of effort, time and money. So basically it's a $2,000 refridgerator with a $800 computer in it that sells for $8000. Nice.

I thought it was pretty neat.

They did a real good job on the guis for that thing. They are very nice and it's super simple to use. The guis actually run on top of a modified version of 98. There's a lot of safguards in case you hose something or a virus gets by their scanner. I think Samsung has/will have one also, but the reviews were better for this one. Supposedly, they will be adding home control to the next version and some of their other appliances. Should be nice...
