Nathan Myhrvold's $500 Cookbook Now an $80 iPhone App

Nathan Myhrvold's six-volume foodie encyclopedia, Modernist Cuisine, writes reader SmartAboutThings, is one of the most expensive cooking encyclopedias, the original six-volume version retailing for $500, with the two-volume addition that followed after that selling for $115. "Now, Nathan and his team have transformed their huge food encyclopedia into an iPhone/iPad app. It's not just a digital book, but rather an expensive $80 interactive app that can do more than just provide recipes. The interactive digital cookbook is the fruit of a development team of 10-15 people that have worked over nine months on the project. The app contains 37 technique videos, 416 recipes and 1,683 photos."

Oh, and apparently, YOU care, or you wouldn't have replied to this thread TWICE.
Just NO.

I do not care about the banal and unfunny joke.

What I replied to were clueless accusations that I didn't get it. I mean, come on, dude. How long is it going to take, and how many repetitions, before you understand that I get the joke but don't think it's funny?
