eToiletMicrosoft has not only invade your PC, living room, cell phones, but also your bathroom? eeek. Yes, it wasnt a typo of sort; Bill Gates wants Microsoft product in your bathroom as he announced eToilet at CES 2007. It has built in 21-inch LCD monitor on the toilet lid that swings out on a swivel arm when in use. A built-in proximity sensor protects the screen from spray during use or flushing. It streams your music from Zune, allows you to surf the internet and monitors your personal hygiene. The eToilet will retail for between $499 and $599 and should be available as early as next month.

Bill Gates noted “Americans spend an average of two weeks per year in the bathroom, and as part of Microsoft’s efforts to continue to make inroads in the home, we fully plan to capitalize on that time.”

Just like Billy said, Microsoft wants a cut on any time you have.

    Well being that this is eToilet 2007, I think I will wait to buy this one after Service Pack 1 comes out? or Service Pack 2 or Flush Pack 1.. Maybe I’ll pass….

    I’m trying to figure out how to work a “segmentation fault: core dumped” joke into this, but I just can’t.

    Guess I’ll just go for the more straightforward toilet humour:

    “I always knew Windows was a piece of s#!t, but this is ridiculous.”
