   I was in Fry's last year ad they had an "internet refrigerator". 
There was a touchscreen PC built into the door.  I disremember whether 
it was ethernet or wireless, but the thing was set up for kiosk-style 
web browsing and email.  As far as I could tell, the computer had 
nothing to do with running the fridge, but it was still a... "chilling" 
sight.

   I'll just get my hat.
