Wi-Fi Enabled Fridge is Equipped With Apps, LCD

Samsung's new fridge comes with apps!

We've seen some pretty cool futuristic refrigerator concepts out there such as the self-cleaningfridge, and the cooking assistant fridge, but who knows how long we'll have to wait to be graced with some of their technological wonders. It might be awhile until we can rely on our refrigerators to clean themselves out and teach us how to cook but Samsung has brought us one step closer to high tech refrigerator awesomeness.The brand new Samsung Wi-Fi equipped refrigerator features an impressive 8 inch touch screen that allows you to play with eight included applications: Memos, Photos, Epicurious, Calendar, WeatherBug, AP, Pandora and Twitter. These applications make your stop to the fridge much more organized and informative by allowing you to write and view memos, notes, and calendar reminders. You can even immediately update your twitter status for emergency situations! "@Cheeseloverxoxo HELPP!!! NO MORE CHEESE!!"

Samsung's innovative fridge can even enhance your dining experience by acting as a digital picture frame or lightening the mood with some Pandora music. Although the fridge doesn't do anything fancy like cook your meals or stock itself, Samsung's Wi-Fi Fridge would be a great addition to any tech lover's home. Unfortunately for the price of $3,499 for the four door and $2,699 for the two door, it may be cheaper and more efficient to mount an iPad on top of your existing refrigerator.

Windows Much Safer After Microsoft Killed Autorun

A safer, more idiot proof autorun.

Autorun is one way for malware to trick a user into installing some nefarious software from removable storage media. An executable could reside on a USB flash drive and, when inserted into a PC, would prompt the user to click the autorun file.

Back in February, Microsoft released an update that curbed autorun behavior for all supported Windows platforms stretching back to Windows XP SP3 to Windows Vista SP2 (Windows 7 already had a "fixed" autorun behavior and Windows XP SP2 was no longer supported through updates).

When comparing stats before and after the Microsoft update, we clearly see that blocking the autorun of removable storage had a significant effect on the infection rate. It may have been a tweak to stop a certain action on the users' part, but it was certainly effective.

BestConfigs Is Back, And Powered By You!

BestConfigs is back, and we're ready to update our pre-defined configurations using the top hardware suggestions presented and voted-on by our community. Use our Tom's Hardware System Builder Facebook app or your BBCode-formatted submission!

Our BestConfigs section is atrociously outdated. We know this, are we’re going to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.

As a quick refresher, BestConfigs is a section of the site with recommended configurations that fit within a specific theme, and duck under a set budget. The last time we updated our nine builds, we used audience-suggested configurations that were presented by our readers and then voted on by the community. A software bug stopped us before we could get each winning configuration posted to the site. But that has since been fixed, and we’re ready to roll again (this time with one addition: a do-it-yourself NAS).

Microsoft Makes Justin Bieber Windows 7 Theme

Bieber Fever for Windows 7.

Microsoft wants Windows 7 to grow to surpass Windows XP as the most popular operating system in the world. While the problem in getting users to transition away from Windows XP may be just due to older hardware, Microsoft is still hitting all the demographics.

With that in mind, Microsoft has just made available the official Justin Bieber theme for Windows 7. That's right, images and other theme items are lifted from material related to the Justin Bieber film, "Never Say Never".

Intel 710 Lyndonville, 720 Ramsdale SSD Specs

There's some ludicrous speed.

German computer site Computer Base obtained some unreleased information regarding Intel's 710 'Lyndonville' and 720 'Ramsdale' SSDs that are coming down the pipe.

The 710 is using Intel's 25nm NAND flash on a SATA 3Gbps connection. Those will come in 100, 200 and 300 GB varieties and will have read and write speeds at up to 270 MB/s and 210 MB/s.

The real interesting bits are about the 720, which runs on the PCIe bus. The PCIe bus interface alludes to some pretty intense speeds, but our jaws are dropping at the read and write speeds of up to 2200 MB/s and 1800 MB/s, respectively, noted on the leaked specs sheet.

These SSDs are set to hit until Q3, so it should not be too much longer until we have the official word (and test units) from Intel.
