I think I can beat Daniel's use cases. 1 - To have my robot pick food from my also IP-enabled fridge, get into the microwave and get it delivered to me so I don't get off the couch. 2 - Communicate with my friends' and family's microwaves to find out what they have been cooking. (No stalking!) 3 - ** I see a social networking site for Microwaves and Cookers, with the question prompting a status or tweet being "What's cooking?" **
