@OMG! Ponies!: Bollocks I say. Someone bought this, realised they don't need to weigh anything, and put some pseudo-fruit on there out of boredom/curiosity. #rihanna
Actually...this makes a lot of sense. A scale is a device you could use in a kitchen, but not frequently. Why not put it to better use? The placement of the iPod could be a little awkward, depending on the devices placement. If it's in a corner, I don't want to have to maneuver around it to get to my tomatoes. Still...for $100, this doesn't seem that bad at all.
To the folks who designed this, *tips hat*. #rihanna
@KassiaHaoe: Starred commenters are selected by Giz editors. Hang around long enough, make quality comments, don't troll, be funny. Eventually you get noticed and get a star.
Now, as to your question about how I got a star...I have no freaking idea. ;-) #rihanna
Whoa... wait... back up a minute. Is the apocalypse scheduled for today? First a little Blackberry outage around midnight, then the gerbil vest, and now a iPod dock cum produce scale with references to "soulful" Miley Cyrus...
Is it the end times? I feel like I'm living in a Dan Brown novel... there's some strange force at work... #rihanna
@DarkerBlitz: The veryfact that notions of the Jonas Brothers entered your mind, unbidden, only serves to coroborate my concerns, and cause further alarm. There's got to be a damned codex, or list of numbers, or something, somewhere to stop this madness! #rihanna
@OMG! Ponies!: You know, I had a tasteless and politcally incorrect retort for that... but I'm just not gonna fall for this. I won't be tricked into your cunning trap, Ponies! #rihanna

T-Fal already did this several years ago. I've got a couple of their purple frying pans that have a two-tone red pattern in the center of the frying surface. When it heats up enough, the one shade of red changes color to match the other shade, and the pattern disappears into one solid red dot. Sure, it's not as glamorous as the bubble pattern, but I don't care. I got purple frying pans. #coral
I could see a use for this. For instance, if you are trying to pre-heat a pan before searing, making pancakes, etc. it'd be nice to see at a glance that the pan is ready. #coral
M'eh. I'll continue to just look under the pot and see how big the flames are. I'll admit there are some initial issues associated with my high tech ways, but once the chef is calibrated, the analog reading is much more accurate that the 3 phases of this container. #coral
This particular pattern makes it look likes it's bleeding. I do think, however, being able to 'See' a hot pan has several benefits in the kitchen. #coral
First, Mark - there is no such thing as too much information when it comes to kitchen shopping. Anyone who has not experienced the joy of browsing Sur La Table has simply not lived.
That said, the design is nice, but the stainless steel lid clashes with the pot below it. Correct minor asthetic issues like that, and provided I win the lottery, I would love to purchase a set. #coral
@Monty: The lid is actually made out of glass. The designer of this concept is actually a very good friend of mine (William Spiga, so proud of him right now!) and if you have anything to add I'll pass it along.

To all:
Stop whining about the risk of splatter from an iPod dock in the kitchen.
This is from Rihanna. Which means it comes with a built-in umbrella. #rihanna

Does anyone know if egg yolks or whites will change the moisture sensor? #rihanna

Did Rihanna start making kitchen gadgets before or after Chris Brown started beating her? #rihanna
