ITGumbo: spicing IT up

The latest addition to your magnet collection on your refrigerator door may not be a magnet from your trip to San Diego or a magnet from the cable company. It might not just be a plain picture, either. According to Reuters, Winbond Electronics Corp.'s Israeli branch "has developed prototypes of devices that transmit data from a computer to a portable screen, which can be easily attached to your refrigerator using a magnet." One product using this technology will be an electronic version of "sticky notes," called the Scribbler. According to Israel21c, the Scribbler's technology comes from combining Bluetooth and Microsoft's SideShow together. Refrigerator magnets and the kitchen culture may never be the same.

Here's a video of the Scribbler in action from Reuters.
