The George Foreman iGrill

There are so many reasons to love George Foreman. The monumental title fight against Joe Frazier in 1973, the insane comeback that lasted into his '40s, and the fact that he's named all five of his sons George. But the thing we appreciate most? He loves to eat. And he's made beaucoup bucks doing it.

It's been reported that more George Foreman Grills have been sold than any other household appliance ever--more than 55 million, to be inexact. Never content to rest on his considerable laurels, however, Foreman is updating the "Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine" (trademarked) for the digital age with--get this--the "George Foreman iGrill."

In addition to its 200-square-inch nonstick cooking surface, Uncrate says, the $150 electric grill hooks up to your iPod and has a built-in 10-watt speaker system. Who knew that MP3 grills would be the hottest summer trend?

That's not as stupid as you'd initially think

OK, it's electric and not charcoal or (2d best) gas. But still, when you're tasked with cooking outside for people in the summer, you'd definitely like some tunes with you. This will sell.

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
