Essentially, it's a polyurethane cage full of goodies that you store in the fridge and secure with a combination lock (included). Of course, there's nothing preventing thieves from stealing the entire cage and working on it later with a hacksaw, but that's a lot of trouble to go through for a can of Beefaroni and a bottle of Mtn Dew.

As you can see, you can use it horizontally and vertically, with the interior layout adjusted by the user. Just remember to close the milk's bottle before turning it around. [Appliancist]

But hey, who am I to judge. It's got three coolers powered by a 55 watt, 5 volt power supply and it's all housed in PVC piping, making it look a lot like a pipe bomb. Hell, maybe that's the appeal of it. [Instructables via Engadget]

Details on the project are scarce, but we do know that these units would be relatively cheap to produce at around $50. That makes it ideal for delivering medicines and cold water to developing countries—not to mention a useful tool on a camping trip. [Esquire via CrunchGear]

These Shuriken Magnets are perfect for the refrigerator or any other place you'd like to send a message. Just place a shuriken (magnet) in your hand, flick the wrist and...WHUTING! Pick up Billy at practice. WHUTING! Don't eat those mashed potatoes because they're old but I was afraid to open the container to throw them away because it probably smells but your sense of smell isn't as good as mine so you might eat them and get sick.

Get a box of two Shuriken Magnets for $19. [epaulet via Core77]

Buchberger said he decided to create Flatshare from personal experience, after discovering that “there is nothing more disgusting than a dirty fridge in a shared flat.” I had one of those experiences. One former roommate had made a creamy fruit salad in the fall, and plum forgotten about it when she moved out in the winter. I could've sworn the monstrosity that greeted me three months later asked me if I was the Gatekeeper. [Flatshare Fridge set via Electrolux

The application is not built for iPhone/iPod touch, however, but is served from a home server that controls the appliances directly. This allows you to not only use the iPod touch, but also any other web device in your home Wi-Fi network. The program allows you to program the devices using a very easy to use graphical user interface.

For example, you can set your oven to cook a type of cake by just visually selecting a recipe and clicking start. In fact, you can even get recipes straight from the server itself. The only bad thing: the iPod dock thingie is taking the place of the built-in draught beer system, which in my book is quite -20 points. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]

Other interesting dockables are the Clio Vu tablet computer with Wi-Fi and the Quartet Qnote Message Center so you can dry-erase messages to each other and read the time on the digital clock (plus store stuff in its storage drawer). Apparently lots of people spend time computing and iPodding it in the kitchen (we only go there when we want to eat), so Whirlpool wants to eliminate clutter by allowing you to store stuff via their fridges. Interesting take.

The HomePub is available in Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK (where it costs around 450, or $1000) and there are plans to bring it to the US. [HomePub and Asko via Appliancist]

Good theory, but the floors of each compartment are open, so it'll spill its coolness every time you crack the fridge. Another efficiency factor here: Smaller compartments mean isolated exposure to warm air when you're digging for an ice cream sandwich in one place and leaving the rest of the compartments closed. But micro containers could be a tough call when, say, storing a 15-pound turkey. Neat, but maybe just too weird to install at home. [Norcool via Treehugger]

Besides the new doors, the Profile fridges feature all the bells and whistles from GE's most current models, including LCD control displays and LED interior lighting. Available in 21- or 25-cubic-foot sizes, the two-freezer Profiles will retail anywhere between $2249 and $2999.

The result? It'll toss a beer to you 13 feet away, and it's perfectly accurate every time. Even though that beer might have developed quite a head on it by the time it reaches your hands, it's still one clever piece of machinery. Bravo. – Charlie White

If I were in the market, and this went into production, I'd try it, though. I've always dreamed of having a sushi bar fridge in my home, and this would give me a similar transparent casing, and potentially, the same landscape form. But it's still my second choice, next to the invisible fridge.–Brian Lam

Personally, we'll be impressed when the oven is intelligent enough to go grocery shopping, chop, prepare, cook and clean for us via cellphone, but this is one step in the right direction. Super geeky bonus—these ovens also use NASA-based command and control engineering in addition to NASA-based ceramic insulation. –Dana Bushman
