Microsoft Rolls Out iLoo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-square-at-a-time dept.

TommyTyker writes "According to this CNet article, Microsoft is using England as a test bed for the iLoo -- a 'PortaJohn' that allows the 'user' to surf the net while taking care of 'business.' MSN is even looking at getting TP manufacturers to create some of their product with URL's printed on them. Pooptastic!" Life does not imitate the Onion. No, sir.

    Well, popular wisdom has it that desktops in New York city and other big towns have more fecal bacteria than the toilets do. Most people continue to use their desks as a cafeteria tray. What's your problem?

    Now that M$ has the abiltiy to track my goings, I fear they will close the loop and track my commings. Will the M$ office 2005 come with a cubicle with a mixed use seat/toilet, food and water tubes, and rollup bed? Don't forget the Xbox style PeeeCeee that I can't run that dirty free software on. Oh, paradise for the company man.

    Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.

    now now, don't get all pissy about it. ;-)

    Seriously though, would you really want to touch the keyboard? They'd need those paper toilet seat covers only for keybpards now.

    Looks like Microsoft is taking a potshot at Apple's iLife.
