This article at c|net had me checking the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April Fools’ Day. MSN UK is introducing the iLoo, a web-enabled porta-potty slated to make its debut on the UK festival circuit this summer. It’s got a plasma display, Wi-Fi connection “and a waterproof wireless keyboard can be placed on the lap for comfort.” Yecchh!! Not too unsanitary…
And just to prove that those MS folks forget no potential feature, “MSN UK is negotiating with toilet paper manufacturers for special rolls with Web addresses, or URLs, printed on them.”
(Gotta wonder about the name “iLoo”… do you think Apple will sue for trademark violation?)
