Popping into the fridge for a quick snack isn't that difficult a chore, so why would anyone need an icebox with auto-opening doors? Well imagine yourself needing one last ingredient while your hands are covered in whatever you're baking, and you'll realize the genius of Toshiba's Vegeta line of refrigerators.

Samsung has presented a new awesome fridge, with a Ultra HD 4K LCD screen, a built-in Evernote app, and a baby monitor. All of those features are stupid, but only one of them isn't real.

Let's face it, the things you put in your mouth are disgusting enough even without the constant fear of expired eggs or questionable meat. So let's all refrigerate thusly: with conveyor belts that give the stale stuff the boot.

These fridge magnets might not be high-minded or particularly useful, but they will turn your fridge into something that looks like a 1980s Casio digital watch.

How in hell did this cat learn that he had Spiderman abilities? Seriously, this video really WTF'ed my Friday. I didn't particularly like cats, but I'm definitely starting to succumb to their many charms and abilities. [Thanks Tom!]

Cooking with the iPad is great if you don't mind a greasy screen or you enjoy washing your hands every time you need to navigate on device's touchscreen. Of course, you always have the option to wrap the thing in plastic wrap.

I'm looking at my not-that-big apartment and I see a separate fridge, sink and stove in my kitchen. Sure, it's convenient but if I could have this 1952 Cook and Wash Refrigerator Unit instead, I'd be living in a mansion.

Sure, you could try affixing some magnets to the back of your iPad, and get the same iPad-as-fridge-magnet effect for far less, but then what'd happen if the iPad dropped and shattered? You wouldn't have anyone to sue but yourself.

Gorenje, the company that brought us the iPod-docking fridge, has created the next fridge of our dreams—carbon fiber, baby. The induction hob shown below is also the stove of our (concentric) dreams:

$13. Whole package. Must resist.

Wired's iPhone-themed DIY kegerator is the stuff of legend: An unwanted fridge became a moving, gadget-filled beer dispenser of the highest caliber. This video shows that it's also a pretty easy (if expensive) undertaking.

AT&T may be worried about the Palm Pre, but they should be much more worried about refrigerators that smell so bad they force the evacuation of over 300 office employees.

You've been hearing all about how Joss Whedon's Dollhouse has gone through multiple revamps before hitting the airwaves, but apparently JJ Abrams' Fringe went through a similar (but more secret) series of reconceptions.

If you've ever lived with a roommate who seems to enjoy experimenting with mold in your communal fridge, you can probably appreciate this invention from Austrian design student Stefan Buchberger. The Flatshare Fridge, one of nine finalists in the Electrolux Design Lab 2008 competition, consists of up to four…
