“On the one hand, it’s easy to be disgusted” by the Pedestal Stand for iPad from CTA Digital. On the other, we secretly all want one—at least in one of the bathrooms that guests never see.

In fact, “the only thing missing is a much-needed splash guard.” Maybe the makers can address that concern by next month, when they release the iPotty—an iPad-holding training toilet for toddlers.
