Cool: Linux heats your meal, washes your clothes, makes for household fun
There's a lot Linux can not do(yet) but you'll be suprised what it's already being used for. Look at this: a microwave running Linux (yes we can!) and a washing machine also.
It may not be available to us right away but the revolution is coming. While much more devices will be powered up with more complex functionality more manufacturers will discover reinventing the wheel is not Cool. Linux is! And I will start doing household chores happily, like hacking my washing machine. I envision a future where I can install any Linux distribution of choice to my household appliances.
The microwave shown on CES 2010 running Android:
Linux Microwave"
And also available A washing machine running Android:
Linux washing machine
I'm very much looking forward to a future where I can install my Linux distribution of choice on my coffee machine.

The Rex-Royal line is also Linux based using embedded Qt for the display. Here it is in action at Embedded World 2010 -> http://twitpic.com/167ixu
