  • iLoo....

    Washington Times:

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/busin...7-67199014.htm
    There soon will be one less place to go to escape the World Wide Web.

    Microsoft plans to introduce the iLoo, a portable toilet with Internet access, at music festivals in Britain this summer.

    The iLoo, also called the "WWW.C," will feature a high-powered computer sitting under the sink, with a waterproof, wireless keyboard, a plasma monitor, and six-channel surround sound. Computer users will be able to surf the Internet via a wireless network.

    It's part of a publicity campaign by MSN, Microsoft's online service, to show that the Internet can be accessed "anytime and anyplace."

            Uhm, I wonder how long these high powered computers and plasma monitors remain inside the loo for
            When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

                  Well imagine using that keybord, knowing someone with unwashed hands might have used it before you. @_@.

                  Lapptop at home for personal use even at toilet, yes, but public toilet user interface, no. At least not untill speech recognition get's there.

                            Exactly.
