Haha. Nice one.
Yes. FOOD scale. Its for FOOD.
Uh, never mind.
Fuck you Hecht, making fun of this high holy day!
And, oh look there, an iPad.
Surely somebody out there pissed a lot of perfectly good money away on an iFad today.
@7 – Look more closely.
Does it rock when you try to type on it?
@9 – Not really, it’s pretty solid. Haven’t done much typing on it yet, but it’s definitely not its strong suit. In portrait, the keyboard is pretty small, landscape good size, but very different to use than an iPhone keyboard, where you only use thumbs.
can it do Flash???
nerds
I got one of those. It’s not all black, though. Nice scale.
Pretty funny! Remember, it’s for food, right?
Are you going to pay for it by selling weed?
You’re such a pothead, Hecht.
…I’ve got a popcorn maker I can bring over.
My scale is analog. So’s my pad, yellow, college rule.
That scale looks way too small to stand on. Get your money back.
Is that the hush-hush new iScale Apple’s been working on?
Ahh, that’s how you get stupid enough to buy an iPad.
Are those photos to scale?
I’d weigh in on this, but I lack the proper gravitas.
Not funny. I oughta pound you.
That scale’s no good for drugs. It weighs only to the nearest gram or 1/8th oz, meaning 1/8th and 3/16th will be indistinguishable. Then again, if you’re dealing by the kilo or pound, that won’t be much of an issue.
@21-23, your comments lack the proper gravitas.
@25, Seriously? Maybe I should have padded it for good measure, but my cup has runneth over.
26 comments and not one mention of the zombie claw using the scale?
@27 – My lucrative hand modeling career tells a different story.
@27 Click on it and see the larger version. Part of the button looks like his finger nail. It’s less of a zombie claw than you think.
if that doesn’t weigh tenths of a gram, i don’t understand what the point is.
I was at Southcenter today. Outside the Apple store they had set up ropes so people could line up and be allowed a few at a time to see the iPad. There were something like 50 people waiting to get into the store!
People lined up for “Revenge of the Sith”, too.
Josh @30, flour weighs more or less depending on temperature and humidity. Bakers always weigh, never measure.
This has been a public service message from the Obsessively Literal Blog Commenting Service, Department of Slightly Drunk Department.
pitiful.
@29 THANK YOU! 🙂
@28 – sorry. I was completely mistaken. There is no zombie claw involved.
