Microwave hack??? Now thats a first..

Saw this one on Verge..
Its a hack or rather an interface between a Touch Pad and a Microwave. What it does is, it plays a youtube video while you use the microwave for that amount of time. When the microwave stops, the video also stops and sends a message to your twitter account.
All this being part of a College project, sounds very simple, but it does seem complicated. Seriously how they come with such ideas beats me. But I bet, this could be a precedent to all college students.
