I just saw a commercial for a refrigerator. One with a TV on it.

Yes, a flat screen TV embedded into the television, opposite the ice and water dispenser. Is this not a terrible sign of the state of our western society?

No, but it does mean you can get up and get another beer without waiting for a commercial.

Dude, perfect. Next time there's one of those parties where everybody somehow ends up in the kitchen [because of the beer in the fridge and shorter supply routes] you could put on some music video [or whatever pleases you].

Now, where can I hook up my DVD player?

Yes, a flat screen TV embedded into the television, opposite the ice and water dispenser. Is this not a terrible sign of the state of our western society?

Does it have a built in DVD recorder or TVO so I can record recipes from the food channel? If not...meph...

New washers, dryers send messages to PCs



By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer Sat Jul 22, 11:52 PM ET

ATLANTA - The technology behind cleaning clothes has spun through more than a few cycles over the last century, from clunky hand-cranked machines to today's gleaming appliances that can detect a load's size and even how much grime is ground into the fabric.
ADVERTISEMENT

Soon, those who delight in living the clean life could be awash in an even newer twist.

Washers and dryers that link wirelessly to Internet-connected home networks are being tested by consumers who are receiving updates on their dirty laundry via cell phones, computers and TV sets.

Messages not only indicate when a wash is complete but also can warn that a lint filter is clogged or a load is too large. Users can remotely command the machines to fluff dry clothes or start a load from a distance after being told — oops — they forgot to start the wash.

Peggy Spencer, a 57-year-old teacher whose family is involved in a trial of the system launched by the Internet Home Alliance, hopes to use it to monitor the wash from the comfort of a lounge chair — at her neighborhood pool.
