Microsoft Introduces The iLoo - Internet Enabled Porta-Potty
from the scary dept
There have been jokes about how the only really "captive audience" is when someone's on the toilet. It seems that Microsoft has bought into that way of thinking as they're introducing an "iLoo" - an internet-enabled portable toilet. You'll be able to sit down, pick up a wireless keyboard and start surfing. They're even offering special toilet paper with URLs you might want to visit. This has to be a joke, right? Please? Anyway, my first reaction is who the hell is going to want to touch that keyboard??? Neowin is also running a short interview with someone from Microsoft about the iLoo.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

iLoo
One time at this block party I was inline and some chicks came but behind me and started talking @h&t about me under their breath. I was real drunk and when I got inside that portable loo I just made sure I went all over the place. Why this little story, well who wants to surf the internet with all that stuff around. Much nicer to sit at home in my leather lazy-boy and some good music.
