Vending Machine Uses Infrared Rays To Make Fresh Pizza on the Spot
This machine makes pizza from fresh ingredients—mixing the dough, adding sauce and toppings, and cooking it using all kinds of weird thingamajigs and infrared rays. In just three minutes, as you can see in the video. More »

Best Buy to Install More Vending Machines at Top Airports
The Best Buy vending machine at Dallas/Fort Worth airport will be just one of a series of "Best Buy Express" machines, according to new info from Best Buy itself. In partnership with ZoomSystems, Best Buy will install similar machines at Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco. So from September 1st you'll be able to buy cellphones, cameras and other digital goodness when you fly from one of these 9 locations. Be careful though: For some reason these machines are really good at tempting you. Maybe it's all the excitement of flying, but I so very nearly bought an iPod from a similar machine last year, and I didn't even need one. [AP News]

Best Buy Vending Machine Haunts Dallas/Fort Worth Airport
Forgetting to bring your electronics with you on a flight sucks really, really hard. This is why the DFW airport has allowed Best Buy to put Best Buy Express vending machines inside several terminals, giving travelers a chance to pick up the lost gadgets, chargers or headphones that they would otherwise have to do without. Is it a good deal? Probably not. But think of it as the electronics equivalent of having to buy a pack of Corn Nuts and going to town because you missed lunch. [Dallas News]

Passive Aggressive Anger Release Machine, or Goodbye Kitty
Laydeez an' gennulmen, I bring you the passive-agressive anger-release machine, an interactive sculpture by Yarisal and Kublitz. It's pretty self-explanatory—a vending machine that smashes smashables for you, although I'm not sure it gives you the same satisfaction that you get from chucking china at the floor. I dedicate this one to those people who were hoping for a 32GB iPhone at yesterday's WWDC, anyone who believes that Hello Kitty is the Jim Jones of the 21st century, my director, Ang Lee, producer Harvey Weinstein, and my voice coach, Bart Simpson. Oh, hang on, haven't I forgotten someone? More »

Cigarette Machine to Teens: "Get Outta Here Ya Damn Kids!"
Listen up, Japanese teens: vending machine maker Fujitaka Co. is on to your sneaky cigarette-buying ways, and has created a machine that uses a camera and face recognition software to try and stop you. The machine takes your picture when you press the "Adult Recognition" button, and analyzes your face for wrinkles and sagging. If it thinks you aren't saggy enough, you must insert your license for age verification. In a test of 500 people, the machine spotted adults with 90% accuracy. Looks like the big kid with the crustache sitting at the back of your math class is about to be your new best friend; at least until you smoke enough to get wrinkled and buy cigarettes on your own.

Japanese Bread in a Can
On top of corn chowder, and panties, add canned bread to the list of unusual vending machine ammunition. Looks kind of good, and I'm assuming this comes out heated like the cans of tea and coffee. [Core77] -

Vending Machine Red
For those of us who haven't yet seen the series, Vending Machine Red is a new super hero who appeared after an inopportune mutation. In each action-packed episode, Vending Machine Red might not always save the Earth, but just know that hecould if needed. Let's face it—Tuesday is a lost workday for you anyway, so you might as well spend some time on the old GooTube JP watching a vending machine action show. -

Vending Machine Gives Out Free Drinks for Watching Ads
Thirsty? Out of cash? Don't worry, if you're near one of these Japanese MediCafe vending machines, it'll give you a drink for free. Not because you've got a pretty face, because you don't. No, it doles out free drinks as a reward for you watching an advertisement on its built-in video screen. More » -

Japanese Human Vending Machine
In today's episode of "More Weird Crap from Japan" we find our heroes encountered with a very strange machine. This vending machine is staffed by a real human who gives the desired product to the consumer, rather than having a series of mechanics do the job. If only it was a real human vending machine that actually gave out, uh, humans. Those wacky Japanese—what will they think of next? More »

How to Hack a Vending Machine
Following up our how to hack a coke machine coverage, here's a video on how to hack a snack machine. It's pretty much the same idea. Pay for something, but hold the release flap up on the bottom so the machine thinks it didn't drop your food. Then mash on the coin return button to get your money back. More » -

Sony Vending Machine in Action, Crecente Style
Kotaku's own Brian Crecente gave the Sony vending machine a test run. He seems to be pretty impressed—then again he is amused by damn near anything—and it is a hell of a lot better than dealing with those scumbags salesmen at consumer electronics stores. More »

Sony Vending Machines
Oh, pardon me. Zoom Systems—manufacturer or the machine—doesn't like for these to be called vending machines, rather they are robotic stores. That's just like calling a prostitute an escort. No need to pretty up the name. The Sony vending machine is made by the same folks that made the ever-so-popular iPod Vending Machines. There are currently three machines throughout in the U.S.: Santa Rose, Calif.; Boulder, Colo and Atlanta. These machines could be pretty useful if you are the person that hates scumbag consumer electronics store salesmen who constantly try to push unnecessary accessories and warranties on your purchases.

iPod Vending Machine In Action
We'll probably never buy anything expensive from an iPod vending machine, except maybe a cable, like if we were on a trip and had left ours at home, but damn if this video of it going through its paces isn't strangely mesmerizing.

Wonder Pizza - America's Food Source
You have to wonder about this when the website copy consistently calls this a "food source" rather than a "piping hot, delicious pizza, delivered immediately out of the gaping maw of a machine." What is this "food source?" Could it be... God, forbid... people? More »
