OT: Microwave on USB Port

I WANT ONE OF THESE. 100 British Pound? Bring it on!

Heinz creates world's smallest microwave (and you can plug it into your laptop) (6/8/09 Daily Mail)

"It is the world's smallest, portable microwave and can be powered via a link to the USB port on a laptop computer.

"The turquoise device -called the Beanzawave - has been created in partnership with Heinz to allow workers tied to their desks to create a warm snack, or hot drink, to see them through the day.

"Apart from its size, the key breakthrough is the use of a combination of mobile phone radio frequencies to create the heat to cook both on the outside and within in under a minute.

"The main drawback, with component prices at current levels, is the fact that the mini-micro would carry a hefty price of around £100."

Hefty? US$160, 15,600 Japanese yen, what's hefty about that for a gadget junkie?

Amazing what a free enterprise can do even during the severest recession in 70 years - making something that people want to buy. (Judging from the response from the readers of Mail, I'm not alone in wanting to have this thing.)
