My mind just cannot compute this. More at - Gizmodo. See the comments for some serious entertainment.
I wonder if they have conducted any Usability trials on this device?
So does this have any practical use?
These are in the class of devices that once can consider "cool". Kinda like those fancy user interfaces in Sci-fi movies, where the objective is to design a user interface that looks nice on a super large screen [ridiculously large fonts, insanely rich colors, useless animation effects, excotic sound effects, animated backgrounds etc. etc.]. It would be hell if one were forced to actually use these user interfaces everyday. Personally, I classify the animation effects of Windows Vista (screen flipping) and the new UI themes in Linux into the same bucket. They look fantastic in the demo's, but have no real value beyond that.
Will the burger holder work? All I can see is anyone using this will now have to clean their hands as well as this device. Not to mention all that accumulated build-up of sauce over time on this contraption.
Will it sell? Such devices will move in some volume around Christmas and potentially Fathers day. To be avoided at all costs for Valentines day or Mothers day.

It might be worthwhile if it prevents the contents falling out the back. Maccas burgers don't suffer from this, but any decent restaurant burger normally has a skewer or steak knife through it for this purpose.
