Microsoft: Headed for toilet! Microsoft technology headed for toilet Hearst Newspapers Tuesday, May 6, 2003 ©2003 San Francisco Chronicle Seattle -- This is not a joke: Microsoft Corp. is bringing Internet access to the portable toilet. The iLoo, developed by Microsoft's MSN division, will be a standard portable toilet (or "loo," as the Brits call it) equipped with a wireless keyboard and an extendable, height-adjustable plasma screen located directly in front of the seated user. MSN said it plans to install an external "Hotmail station" on the outside of the MSN iLoo so people can do something useful while they queue. This will include a waterproof keyboard and plasma screen enabling users to surf the Internet while waiting. MSN also said it is in talks with toilet-paper-makers to produce special paper imprinted with URLs that users may not have tried. "The Internet's so much a part of everyday life now that surfing on the loo was the next natural step," MSN marketing manager Tracy Blacher said. URL: sfgate.com www.sfgate.com
