So it looks like it was running demo mode, but still crazy awesome.

Also, from the article, I'm amused there is a Shodan search engine.

I would love to be able to play Doom on my shitheap of a HP printer while it constantly "prepares" and doesn't let me do anything until its finished. Doom would make it okay.

That printer Doom is neat, opens up possibilities on other LCD screen devices. Fridge touch screen or the car screen with a bluetooth controller attachment? Both these examples would be ridiculous for gaming, but cool it it could be done.

This reminds me of the floppy drive Kodak camera that would run Mame. I'm tempted to hunt that down again. A portable bulky Mame machine.

Nope.

I think Doom running on anything will become a meme or something.

It has been for a while. The joke is as soon as something gets hacked doom will be ported.
