Amidst the breathless hype surrounding Apple’s latest next big thing – the iPad – one recalls the breathless promotions from yesteryear, specifically Ron Popeil‘s various life changing products. People of a certain age are sure to recall the phrase “It slices, it dices, it even makes julienne potatoes.” Well, on last night’s Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert made that very comparison quite literally, when he used the iPad to slice and dice vegetables.
