LG Refrigerator - TV, Remote Control, Kitchen Sink
If you've ever had the burdensome task of buying a major household appliance, you know it's not any fun. There is an alarming variety of models, features and wacky specs you didn't even know existed (seriously, who worries about refrigerator sound decimals on a regular basis?). LG's new Side-by-Side refrigerator offers far too many specs to mention, but caught my eye because it includes a built in 15" LCD TV with FM Radio, remote control, as well as a special Weather & Info Center that provides a five-day forecast for your area (where service is available).
Geeky Refrigerator Makes Its Own Shopping List
The end of shopping lists may be near. South Korean's Samsung Electronics is developing a new generation of geeky refrigerators that are equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which detects when its contents are running low or approaching expiration dates.

The Coolest Beauty Products Ever (No, Really.)
For years, the aesthetic elite has been refrigerating eye creams and gels, and not just to save room in their medicine cabinets: the cold temperature is said to de-puff by contracting the tissue around the eyes, plus it feels better going on. According to Korean company EUPA, which makes a special cosmetics refrigerator, all products should be stored between 10 to 14 degrees (Celsius, presumably, which is 50 degrees Fahrenheit). Some people keep nail polish in the refrigerator, but according to "Cosmetics Cop" Paula Begoun, "Condensation and cold negatively affect nail polish, making it too thick to use reliably."
Diet Tip: Rearrange Your Refrigerator
If you go into your refrigerator and the first things you see are cheese cake, pizza and beer, you may have a hard time getting to your salad crisper drawer where the healthy stuff is.
One trick that I do is put all the junk food (yes, there is junk food in my fridge too) out of sight in the bottom drawers of my fridge. Then I keep all my fruits, veggies, hummus, etc.
