I can't believe no one came up with this idea until now.

Bacon can NEVER be to crunchy

Was pretty interesting video until Steve Job's head pooped up on the video. Pass..
Good for him, but it is nothing but a money grab.

And this is bad how? He has an idea, he thinks this idea is good, all he's asking is for you to sign a petition if you also think this idea is good. Is he looking to make money off it? I'd say absolutely, otherwise why would he get a patent? They're expensive, and if you had some altruistic angle you'd make just one product and sell it there by locking out anyone else from getting a patent on that technology.Good for him, but it is nothing but a money grab.
Neat idea except that an infrared camera will only measure the surface temperature, so like so many of us who have eaten a poorly microwaved frozen burrito will tell you it is possible to have the outside hot enough to sear the flesh from the roof of your mouth only to have an icy center. And lets be honest, you make the burrito mistake what once, maybe twice? Then you realize that with your wattage of microwave the exact time and way to make the perfect burrito, or hot pocket, or chicken pot pie, etc. Also how would that infrared camera work with something that steams up? Would the camera get blinded?

I agree with you. You learn the power settings and time required for most items. Cold lasagna is the worst to try reheating.
Exactly, and free advertising to millions now.He even ended the video with an endorsement advertisement. Working all the angles!
This is a great idea!
Time to see your dentist and/or psychiatrist
Even expensive microwaves usually don't cost more than $200.

What I'd prefer is to have a microwave that is QUIET! At least I can stop the beep every time a button is pushed on the one I have now.
Know how often and how hard I slam the door on my microwave? That LCD would be broken within the first week.
Soft close microwave door!
I agree, a quiet mode would be fantastic.
I one put a hot dog in the microwave for 37 years. This was about 30 years ago when we got our first one, and it had no max time - the digits just kept shuffling over and over. 37 years is a decent guess I would say. I was like, 9 years old so thought "I'll just watch it! Yeah!" and then my mind strayed, as 9 year old minds do.
4 hours later my mother yells down to me while I'm watching TV, "You got something in the microwave?". "No...!? - errr.. OMG YES, MY HOTDOG".
I came back up to a shriveled thin charred black sad looking line. My poor hotdog, it died a horrible burning death instead of being devoured by my stomach acid, like it should have been.

Instead of IR, he could simply replace the camera with a little probe you shove in your food before microwaving.

Another great idea lost by me. I thought about this 10 years ago when I tried to figure out how sensor reheat works on microwaves.

Would need to either not use metal (including in the wires) or otherwise would need to be smooth, no sharpness at all, to prevent arcing. (A little-known fact: You can sometimes put metal in the microwave safely if it's smooth enough.)
I agree. He could've and should've left the Jobs crap out.Was pretty interesting video until Steve Job's head pooped up on the video. Pass..
