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 so quaintly call it) equipped with a wireless keyboard and an extensible, height-adjustable plasma screen located directly in front of the seated user.
MSN 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 says it's in talks with toilet-paper makers to produce special paper imprinted with URLs that users may not have tried.
