When Good Refrigerators Go Bad

By

Reading time 1 minute

You know, the reason people shouldn’t use Windows 9x as an embedded operating system is because when it crashes — and god bless its heart, it’s going to crash — your appliance, be it jetliner, roller coaster harness controller, or LG Electronics Internet Refrigerator (seen here in prototype form at the August CSPOT event) is going to need to be rebooted. And if it’s a jetliner or a roller coaster, it’s not such a big deal. Somebody is going to notice, Hey, we’re dying here, and give it the three-finger salute. But when the chicken salad has a unhandled exception when you’re at the office, there’s going to be smell to pay. (Thanks Steve/Matt/Jason/Cindy!)
