Does your toaster have a USB port?


The http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/11/wacky_toaster">Scan Toaster connects to a PC over USB and downloads everything from local weather conditions and the current time to the morning’s news headlines.

3. Ridiculous.
What a waste of time, energy, effort - it's not a green product by any measure.

I'll take two.

4. Just what you need to mass produce miraculous toast for eBay
Just download the icon of your choice.

8. wait. Does this mean ...
... you can get the current weather conditions toasted onto your breakfast (snowflake/raindrop/sun)? I don't know that you could read much of the news on one slice. Perhaps you could have the headlines toasted around a bagel.
