Reading ads while you are "doing" business and "wiping" them? Don't know about that idea. I hope the service will be good.

 Eww...

I wouldn't want to touch that keyboard after someone else just went to the bathroom. I mean you're using it BEFORE you wash your hands!! I could just imagine one covered with poo!

Security is another issue. Because of the expensive hardware inside, Microsoft plans to post a guard to protect the iLoo.

"If we didn't post a guard, somebody would probably just lift the whole thing up and walk away with it," Whittingham said.

BAHAHA!

So now I have to wait for some moron to finish checking his e-mail or stock portfolio while I dance outside? I don't think so. The guard isn't there to prevent anything from being stolen, he's there to keep them from being tipped over.

If you note, they also mention that there will be a few more comps outside outside, but on the loo

Been there... Done that (except with 100Base not Wifi). Seriously, when you have to download, you have to download.

Gives new meaning to the phrases "flush the cache" and "wipe the disk".
