Well, I remember seeing pictures of an iToilet in the past(not real of course)....Now this. This is real though.   :eek:  

Now people at festivals(and other places that use port-o-potties can play on the computer while they do thier business.

you know what zombie90210, since you came back all you have done is post relevant, coherent posts. you haven't (to my knowledge) gone off on a huge flamefest and filled up the forums with garbage, and the irony of all this is... look around you! the forums are filled with garbage! nothing's relevant here, reading this place is often a waste of time now! why did you come back? i only pop in here every now and again for nostalgia's sake myself, is that why?

well here's hoping these forums will one day return to greatness, the site itself is still pretty good, but i am just a little confused as to why you came back here, i might understand if you just wanted to vent on somebody but you don't seem to be doing that, oh well, each to their own i suppose...

amusing story there btw.

The loo is kitted out with a plasma screen, which has an adjustable height level, and a wireless keyboard (all waterproof), so users can merrily surf away as they go about their business.

There'll also be a six channel surround sound speaker system under the sink unit for users to stream music from the internet. Nice.

The people behind the bog, MSN, say they're also hoping for a toilet paper manufacturer to produce specially printed rolls recommending websites to visit. And just in case you're thinking the iLoo won't last a minute at festivals like Glastonbury, MSN has hired a round-the-clock security guard and a cleaner to keep it spick and span and prevent it being trashed.

Tracy Blacher from MSN says: "The MSN iLoo is no bog-standard affair. We are looking at vacuum-powered options and the very latest broadband technology for the best loo surfing experience ever."

They'll even be something for people queueing to do, including a Hotmail station so they can send email.

MSN is no stranger to novelty internet stunts; two years ago it installed the world's first internet bench in a park in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

I'd thenk that Apple would sue them because of the name. They should name it something like PortaPottyXP instead. Or perhaps MS Bob?

Someone should just do a shit over the security guard and run away with the plasma screen while he is distracted.

If I EVER find one of these toilets, I will not be ashamed about taking a fat shit all over the keyboard.

That's all I have to say.

They say computer keyboards are one of the dirtiest places in the home and office, now put a computer and a public toilet together... at a summer festival, you know what you have...
A CLEANLINESS NIGHTMARE!!!

I would not touch one of those things, that's before even considering Microsoft's involvement.
