Democratic Convention Protestors Will Be Blasted With Ray Guns and Sticky Goo
If you're unhappy that Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to Barack Obama, you better think twice before showing your displeasure at next month's Democratic National Convention. According to CNN, the city of Denver is purchasing tons of high-tech weapons to use on unruly DNC protesters, which may include goo-guns that shoot an impossible-to-escape sticky film, sonic ray guns that produce a blood-curdling blast of noise, and a microwave device that can make you feel like your skin is burning. The ACLU is suing the city to see what weapons will end up in the final arsenal, but if you're going to the Denver, be prepared; this could make the 1968 DNC look like a picnic. [CNN]

Gorgeous Shots Of Microwaved CDs
We haven't nuked a CD since the '90s either, but maybe that's only because we didn't have the right camera setup to capture the digital destruction in all of its glory. The Wacky Archives features a few remarkable shots of our ex-favorite pastime and we strongly recommend it as an opulently wasteful way to burn three minutes of your precious Saturday. The microwave, however, paid the ultimate price:

LG Mates Microwave and Toaster, Creates FrankenMicroToaster
I need this. It's a microwave with a built-in toaster, combining two of the three appliances I actually use into a single smorgasbord of food-warming convenience, perfect for my munchkin-sized counter. The other is a George Forman-esque grill—all other electric kitchenwares are frivolous and silly. In fact, if LG could somehow convert the top of this mutant puppy into one, or bolt a steak toaster onto the other side, this would be the most harmonious kitchen appliance ever, the true kitchen in a box. I'm waiting. [core77]

Xbox 360: Will it Microwave?
It's Sunday, and it just wouldn't be right if a group of destructive loons were not prepared to put their faulty, plausibly repairable Xbox 360 into a microwave. Naturally, the mob breathed in the ensuing toxic fumes happily, all in the name of science comedy and cheap thrills. That kind of devotion we must salute, but for the tortured Xbox 360, our heart melts, much like its innards did. Oh, the humanity. Check out the video then hit the link for a slew of shots of the despicable carnage. [Microwave Science]

There's apparently a market out there catering to people who don't want to use a one-size-fits-all microwave, as evidenced by the Ultra-Mini Microwave we reviewed yesterday, and this Bagetty elongated microwave. Instead of being relatively boxy like traditional models, this thing is long and tube-shaped, making it perfect for hot dogs, wieners, franks, sausages, bratwurst and other long meat. It's just a concept, meaning you won't have to make the very difficult decision of whether or not you want to purchase one. [Martin Zampach via The Design Blog via DVice]

Mini Microwave is Nearly Useless...Unless You Are a Big Fan of Ramen
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a mini microwave. But looking at this thing, I find it hard to justify spending $130 just so I can conveniently heat up some crappy instant coffee or some Ramen noodles at my desk. However, if the manufacturer decides to make a USB-powered version, we will talk. Measures 10.5"x12"x10." [Product Page via Random Good Stuff]

Microwaveable Teddy Bear Keeps Babies Toasty
Why hand your kid a room temperature bear when you can hand them a microwaved bear and show them you love them as much as a kid that's not adopted? This bear, which costs $20, is specially made with microwavable components that keep it from going up in flames when nuked—something that's definitely not child-friendly. Plus, it's even coated with a "relaxing lavender" scent, all the better for keeping baby asleep so you can work on making a little brother or sister for him. [Gizoo via Shiny Shiny]

Turbochef Speedcook Oven: Air and Waves Do a 12-Pound Turkey in 45 Minutes
The international builder's show just went down, and among the home automation madness, it was impossible to miss this oven's claim that it can cook a 12-pound bird in 45 minutes. That's 3 hours faster than a standard oven. They say it uses Airspeed technology, but from the diagram and flash animations, I'd say it runs a bunch of hot air over your food, like a hair dryer, to make stuff cook faster. Hmm...microwaved, hairdryed bird? More »

Daewoo Two-Door Microwave
This is the latest kitchen gadget from Daewoo. It is a microwave that has both a front door and back door. It goes both ways ... like a bisexual (sorry, had to fit that Family Guy joke in somewhere). This is probably best used in kitchens that have middle islands or barriers that can be accessed from both sides. It is a pretty simple idea that will likely make a ton just because it is innovative and caters to the lazy. This two-door microwave should be available later this year. More »

It's a Microwave, It's a Vase: It's The Microwave Vase!
Here's a nice little piece of concept art that's both functional and pleasing to the eye, which is a bit of a rarity. Dubbed the Microwave Vase by designer Woo Seokmoon, it's a combination microwave and vase that's supposedly going to be all the rage with those young urban professionals out there. In its default setting, the Microwave Vase looks like nothing more than a regular vase; once food is placed inside and the top knob is adjusted for time, then it becomes an actual microwave, cooking your food in a heartbeat. When the food is finished, the little green leaf on top lights up to let you know that your meal is ready. Wasn't this an accessory in the The Sims? (Hint: Check inside to see what it looks like as just an everyday vase.) More »

Samsung Smart Oven Knows How Long to Nuke Your Food
It won't make you a top chef, but if you're constantly under nuking that bag of popcorn, Samsung's new microwave can help. The Smart Oven is capable of reading the barcode on prepackaged foods and automatically calculates how long to nuke your meal. No word on whether its library of barcodes can be updated or not, so you might want to think twice before committing yourself to a life of popcorn and frozen fish sticks. More »
