    Actually, all the toilets at Google HQ are the Japanese kind that wash your ass for you.
    No, not all of them. Only some of the buildings have the Washlet toilets; most have regular units. Not everything you read about the HQ is true...

    Actually, also put those jacks in the bacthroom. Together with a Toto Washlet, you will enjoy the bathroom evenso more.

    The Washlet has been arond for ages. How the fuck do these guys come off advertising it as something new?

    "they can personally save the universe by not using toilet paper"

    Thanks to the Japanese, that actually already has been a real possibility for a while. You won't (barely) need paper anymore, it's much more comfortable than wiping, and, for /., it's high-tech: Available from around $700.

    (No I don't work for them)

    "that 3 years from now, the next version of Linux will wash my clothes, write my reports for me, and wipe my ass, all while I'm asleep."

    That last thing can already be taken care of, now, before this week is over: For "only" about $900! and the Japanese already were using it before Linux (or Windows or MacOS for that matter) even existed, so I don't think it uses Linux...

    But think about it, it's a machine that not only wipes your ass, but also keeps those ugly skid-tracks out of your underwear! No, I don't work for these guys (imagine working for an actual butt-wipe company), but ever since I got to use one for a couple of days, I know the Toto Washlet on my wishlist!

    Forget toilet tissue. Toilet tissue is so 20th century.

    I recommend getting the Toto washlet. That is a truly high-tech solution for the unclean-butt problem.

    The initial purchase price will set you back a bit, but it will earn itself back because it greatly reduces the need for toilet paper. Instead of needing large amounts of paper for the cleaning action, you will only need a tiny bit of paper to dry the area, because the washlet will have automagically cleaned the area with a comfortably warm wash. No more messing around trying to get all the brown stuff transfered to paper. And if you are a 'white underwear person', then you and your washing machine will love the cleaning power of the washlet.

    I used one of these for a week while on a trip in Japan, and now it's definitely on my want-list.

    No, seriously. This is not just a gadget-geek solution: This is what you want.
