Guest Bannable Offense Report post Posted May 7, 2003 Microsoft Plans Toilets With Web Access By The Associated Press SEATTLE - Now on the way: "Surfing on the loo" with Internet access at portable toilets. The iLoo being developed by the MSN division of Microsoft Corp. in Britain is a standard portable toilet — a loo to the English — with a wireless (news - web sites) keyboard and extending, height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat. There would also be a "Hotmail station" with waterproof keyboard and plasma screen on the outside for those waiting in line. MSN officials say they're negotiating for the manufacture of toilet paper imprinted with Web addresses that users may not have tried. "The Internet's so much a part of everyday life now that surfing on the loo was the next natural step," MSN marketing manager Tracy Blacher said. "People used to reach for a book or mag(azine) when they were on the loo, but now they'll be logging on." The device is expected to be in use at festivals this summer in Britain, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Tuesday. There's no word on if, or when, the iLoo will make its way across the pond. Seriously, do you really think, "Hey I need to check my email" when you're taking a dump in a porta-potty? Just a reason to steal the damn thing, in my opinion.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2003 That's just rediculous. Most people use the bathroom much to quickly anyway. Those are going to be some NASTY keyboards. I bet someone will post from one of those one day. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted May 7, 2003 Why do I see a bunch of these "I-Loos" being vandalized for their plasma screens, PCs, and wireless ADSL connections? A body could setup a nice home PC system for himself just by taking a shit in the middle of the night and burglarizing the loo while no one was watching. Brilliant, simply brilliant. As an aside, if these ridiculous things ever make it to the US, I wonder how long it will be before someone claims that MS has a monopoly on toilet web browsing... I can see the headlines now...

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted May 7, 2003 This is a worse invention than Homer Simpson's Makeup Shotgun. Let's put it this way: If you take the computer out, all you're left with is shit. Think about it because it's true. So very true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
