Sell your Samsung stock. Immediately.

They’ve gone and done it. Those kooky product engineers have gone and made a refrigerator that connects to the internet.

Ed’s Note: Oddly enough, as of 2005-03-06, the link to this product, and all information about the HomePAD products, are gone from Samsung’s web site with the exception of a graphic promising more information.

I love gear, but this is absolutely the stupidest idea ever in the history of home appliances. Is there a single, legitimate reason to have this feature? The entire refrigerator division at Samsung needs to be fired.

Coming soon: Wired magazine articles about hackers connecting to your fridge and spoiling your food. I love it.
