PC Pro reports on a recent Microsoft Research demo of Wayve, a digital picture frame-looking touchscreen device that can be stuck to a refrigerator via a magnetic backing and that can be used to communicate via email with other Wayves in other homes or offices. Wayve is also the name of a company in the U.K. being funded by Microsoft Research to sell the product.

We’ve previously mentioned that MIT computer science professor David Karger’s research team has developed software dubbed list.it that’s designed to computerize many of the things people currently do through sticky notes: organize e-mail addresses, passwords and the like.
