My wife knows what's in the fridge - after all, she put it there. She also knows how to make best use of it - because she made the buying decisions in the first place. No doubt her buying decisions were based on what she wanted to cook up - and she doesn't need recipes for that either. Besides, the fridge is not that smart - it needs to be told what is in the fridge. Call me when the fridge instantly knows what my wife or I put in the fridge without any further interaction from us and also knows how much gets used each time either my wife or I raid the fridge, again without any further interaction from us. May as well be able to adjust the temperature of any individual part the fridge to suit any and all items therein - as well as letting us know when something is too old or going off. Then, and only then, will I call it smart. Next they'll have the fridge communicating with the stove and microwave and getting meals pre-prepared for us. Wait a minute, they have a version of that already - home delivered take away. I think I'll pass! -- Krypsis |

They need to put the scale directly in front of the fridge, so your weight can be read while you are standing in front of the fridge thinking of pigging out again, and your smart fridge can then analyze your current weight *and* the contents of the fridge, thus suggesting what you *should* eat!

I don't believe in nor do I subscribe to the fercocktah fad diets... eat everything in moderation and don't be a couch potato. Lately I've become a big fan of Mueseli, helps curb the appetite from craving junk foods and a small amount (1/2 cup) is very filling. This is a good buy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i01_details |

Of course, you wouldn't sell many of those. You'd sell a lot more of the dresser mirror that takes off 20 pounds and 10 years and increases women's busy size. Gotta be careful to get the software right so it doesn't do the same thing to men! |

Yours isn't a bad idea either - if Alton Brown can have a > camera inside his refrigerator, we can too! I used to see web cams in refrigerators over a decade ago. Mostly it was done by kooky Scandinavian people. :-) What I'd also like is a WiFi connected refrigerator that allows monitoring the internal temperatures and which traps error codes on the subsystems. It sounds like a wacky idea but I think it would greatly simplify diagnosing problems without adding much to the cost of a computerized refrigerator. As it goes, it seems that the major appliance business has been pretty much surrendered to the Koreans. How the heck did this ever happen? Expect the same with their cars. OTOH, my wife bought a big jar of Korean style kim chee which I had with some stew. Gosh, that was good. On the whole, it's pretty much a wash with this Korean thing. :-) |

I have seen $6,000 kim chee refrigerators but my guess is that the sweet spot for an internet-ready refrigerator would be $1700 to $2200. Lately, I've been taking to eating raisin bran cereal. I poured myself a custard cup full and when I went get the milk, I was surprised to see it had only a thin film of milk on the bottom. Luckily, it takes very little milk to fill a custard cup full of raisin bran. Still, this is a shame because I just went to the market yesterday. If I had a camera in the refrigerator, I could have checked that in the store. That's the breaks. |

Mandoos are Korean potstickers. As is our custom, I bought my friend who was assisting dinner. He's Chinese and it was Chinese new year's eve so we went to find him a plate of monk's food AKA jai, which is a traditional new years dish. It's a pretty funky vegetarian stew. I had the standard Chinese dinner plate. We also had good luck gau and I tipped the restaurant extra for good luck. I ain't taking no chances this year... |

IMHO that is technology that a refrigerator really needs these days. The thermometer doesn't need net connectivity in my case, but I can imagine how that might help somebody else. |
