Do you have your internet ready fridge on order yet? Check those stock prices, while you get a snack. koreaherald.co.kr LG Electronics to release refrigerator with Internet link LG Electronics has developed a new digital refrigerator that communicates over the Internet allowing users to make face-to-face calls and order groceries online. The new freezer, slated for June release, marks the first rollout in LG's Web-ready appliances line for a networked home. The company hopes to get a leg up on rivals like Samsung Electronics, Sharp and Whirlpool, jumping in on the fast growing market. Samsung plans to release Internet refrigerators in May and others are still at the stage of sample production. LG said its new product is the world's first refrigerator to integrate a technology to transmit moving images over the Internet. The "Internet Digital Dios Refrigerator," installed with a LAN port for Internet link, offers nine state-of-the-art digital functions. Family members can talk face-to-face and exchange video messages on a 15.1-inch TFT-LCD screen on the gadget. They also can watch TV, listen to music, exchange e-mails, and look for information of prices of groceries and stock markets as well as buy food online. For housewives not accustomed to computers, the Web browser adopts a special graphic user interface (GUI) and all programs are made to operate by touching screen. "Refrigerator will not be just a food-storing box," a company spokesman said. "It will serve as a communications and entertainment tool for housewives as they do kitchen work." It will also offer a variety of information of food stored in the refrigerator such as cooking method, nutrition contents and validity period. When the filter should be changed, a message comes out automatically while a self-checking program will send an alert online to the cyber maintenance center when it needs serving, the company said. It isn't still clear how quickly the market for smart appliance will take off and whether consumers are willing to pay extra for Internet functions that are already available with their home computers. LG's Internet refrigerator will be priced at 9.9 million won, multi-fold higher than conventional freezer. The company said the price will be lowered with related technology improves and it plans to offer more Internet services to make the refrigerator popular. It will open an Internet portal site, "Dreamlog" for housewives, jointly with Dreamwiz, a local Web service firm. Updated: 06/21/2000 by Hwang Jang-jin Staff reporter

Well, let me clarify my previous statement regarding paid promotions... First of all there is nothing wrong with being paid to promote a stock as long as it is disclosed. What torques me off is: THE FIRST DAY THAT SAID PROMOTER BRINGS VOLUME INTO A STOCK, THE PROMOTER OR THE COMPANY INSIDERS OR BOTH LIQUIDATE THEIR POSITIONS INTO THE BUYING. The stock goes nowhere or down. The only loser in the game is the people who bought on the open market. Just another reason to do good DD. THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD PROMOTERS... I am peed off that I am involved with 2 stocks right now that someone is dumping on my buying. Tom
