In defiance of the rage of the security community who see the advances of spyware and intrusiveness endangering our precious private lives and anonymity Samsung have mated a mobile phone and a fridge to produce a device dedicated to supplying food and spying on you. Samsung showed models of this impressive privacy intruding device at the recent CES demonstrating how the 'Tizen' software could add a whole new dimension to invading our privacy in our own homes. Mike Lilly from Samsung Electronics Australia was quoted as saying this was "meaningful innovation" adding "We've seen internet fridges out there in the past but this is actually useful", meaning that it is useful for recording information about eating and spending habits to a degree higher than currently available even compared to mobile phone apps. Samsung plan launch the fridge in July quoting "it's important to get it into a lot of homes". Scary.

The 'this' in the context given was probably aimed at the Internet of Things where soon manufacturers will want to put wifi chips into everything. Chips which can seek out and connect to unprotected public networks to upload data. Kind of scary really. Think about it. You buy a toaster and it uploads how much toast you make, the bread weigh, size of the bread and at what times you toasted to the internet.

I wonder if they'll do that for vibrators..
