It's Friday, so it's only natural to talk about poo. I've written about high-tech toilets before, but this one takes the cake. It's called the Air Poo (nice name, eh?), and it's expected to launch in summer 2008. It will feature a MacBook Air dock, a heated seat, multi-touch flusher, iPod dock, and an integrated surround sound system.Here's a walkthrough: With the MacBook Air Dock, you can store and charge the laptop while you're busy taking a pee, and the built-in 802.11n wireless router gives you full signal strength. The multi-touch pad sounds like it uses morse code or something. If you did number 1, tap the pad with one finger to flush. But if you did number 2, a double tap with two fingers will flush with a large force of water. According to the company, it's proven to flush up to 10 pounds of poop and toilet paper. Seriously?
The heated seat is customized to your bottom, meaning the company will send you a mold so that you can record the contour of your butt. Then, send it in to the company so that your toilet seat can be made to your exact measurements. Amazing, right? The optional heater keeps your bottom warm on those cold winter days. Of course there's gotta be an iPod dock integrated into the toilet. Place any iPod or iPhone into the dock to blast your tunes through the Poo's two speakers. No word yet on price or if this wacky toilet is even for real. [via CrunchGear]

Now, that is a weird fixture. Why bother? Toilets last for decades. Decades from now, will anyone even remember the iPod?

That...has got to be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.
...and yet it sounds oddly luxurious. XD
