Say you’re making popcorn but you hate watching the bag expand in the oven as it cooks and you hate it when you have to think you have to touch the bag before it’s done. You know what I’m talking about, right? Well now researchers in Japan have added a 10.4-inch LCD to a microwave, creating the CastOven. It plays Internet streams.

Why did they really make this thing? Heck if I know. I guess they really like Internet TV. It runs Adobe Air and is “compatible” with Macs and PCs.
