For When You Truly Have Too Many USB Ports
George Forman's little grill certainly caused a revolution anywhere cooking space is tight – from college dorms to government-sponsored SROs and even homeless shelters. Sure, the Grill plays up the fat-killing side of the cooking, but it's definitely got an advantage of being useful in small spaces.
And then I saw that ThinkGeek has a USB version called the iGrill. Truth be told, I was a little weirded out at first – do people really have that many free USB connections? – but reading a little more, I could see the potential value. The iGrill, you see, has a web-based interface, which not only allows you to download recipes and tell the grill exactly what sort of meat you're cooking, but also connect to the whole thing remotely, so you could theoretically cook meat while you're not even there. How you'd get the meat into the grill remotely is a question perhaps best left unanswered, but something about the idea of cooking things over the Internets is a cool one as far as I'm concerned.

Personally I have no less than 8 USB 2.0 ports on my PC – however, I also own a perfectly good oven.

Unfortunately, this product is a April Fools joke.
