On an episode from this past season of 30 Rock, Jack Donaghy, Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming at GE, announces the release of a new product: a pocket microwave oven. Luckily, that microwave is still the stuff of TV dreams. Since many of us are living with a dirty microwave oven in our homes, I can't imagine how dirty a "pocket" microwave oven might become. So, quick, no cheating! Is it clean or not?

Microwaved Peeps Revisited

iWave Personal Microwave: Love It or Hate It?
When I saw this iwavecube Personal Microwave ($129.95) last night, I immediately scoffed at how useless it was. Then I remembered that I don't personally own a microwave, it takes up too much space. I then also remembered that sometimes I really wish I did. Like when boiling up one cup of water, or melting down chocolate. So now I'm second guessing my ridicule and think it might be an interesting idea after all — if not rather expensive. How about you, what do you think of this personal microwave?
