bath tissue, thats stoopid, unless of course you use it in the bath, then be my guest and call it that

Shit, what a good idea!

I have now seen everything.

Now you can really listen to music that stinks. LOL

Now I can listen to Al Gore's speaches and put shit in my brain while I shit out my ass

Have hours of fun competing against the woofers in "Cut the cheese mode".

Jun 14, 06 - 12:23 pm Comment from: IrlMac

Yet another part of the growing iPod economy that left the competition in the poo!

Jun 14, 06 - 12:25 pm Comment from: poop shame

These would be great in Japan. Load up your iPod with flush noises ladies!

(Japanese toilets [some of them] make artificial flushing noises - basically to introduce enough white noise to cover up pooping and peeing noises which some women find [apparently] to be very embarrasing)

Jun 14, 06 - 12:28 pm Comment from: Dave Koenig

The "PoopDeck"?

Jun 14, 06 - 12:38 pm Comment from: wandering joe

"Moisture free speakers" Now how is the toilet paper holder going to get wet? grin

If you listen to gospel, would that be a holy crap?

Jun 14, 06 - 12:46 pm Comment from: Turd Ferguson

I'll just sit here patiently and wait for Ampar's reply... It's got to be the shit!

MDN magic word "Dump"

Jun 14, 06 - 12:47 pm Comment from: AC adaptor...?

Don't know about inferior countries, e.g the one where micro$haft is based, but in England water conducts electricity, and therefore we don't have many plug sockets in our bathrooms. Just the one socket for a shaver by the sink.

You americans have fun electrocuting yourselves and iPods, and we'll watch you through the Queen's secret cameras. Muahahahaha!

Jun 14, 06 - 12:47 pm Comment from: eWorldian

Can I print my Playlists & CD covers on the toilet paper?

Jun 14, 06 - 12:51 pm Comment from: $t3v3 b4llm3r

Know I know what the "A" in Atech means.

Is the review up on ArseTechnica yet?

Jun 14, 06 - 12:57 pm Comment from: MDMac

Saw this at MacWorld in January. Guess it's finally shipping. Classic!

Jun 14, 06 - 01:04 pm Comment from: Buster

What butthead thought this up and what Ahole is going to buy it? I am pretty worried the whole world is about to suffer a heemoroid epidemic by shi...ummm sitting on the throne too long listening to their iToot...errr...iTumes.

Preparation H...on the whole it feels rather good!

Jun 14, 06 - 01:06 pm Comment from: Buster

whoops...I doan type 2 gud

Jun 14, 06 - 01:16 pm Comment from: Loke

they will sell 3 pairs of this thing...by mistake. In 20 yrs, there will be a millennium exposition at the MOMA - and the "iCarta" will be one of the centerpieces.

Jun 14, 06 - 01:28 pm Comment from: Jeff

It's a good idea only if it lets you play nothing but Kenny G.

Jun 14, 06 - 01:29 pm Comment from: rasterbator

Turd, I was thinking the asme thing. There is no doubt that Ampar is the MacDaddy of MDN comments.

I'll wait for the iPhone. Then I can have my Cake and Beat It, too.

Jun 14, 06 - 01:37 pm Comment from: They killed Kenny!

"It's a good idea only if it lets you play nothing but Kenny G."

No, that would make me constipated, from constant, defensive clenching.

Jun 14, 06 - 01:39 pm Comment from: DFT

Lets just pray that no future civilization will dig this thing out. They will get a very skewed picture of our culture.

Umm...wait a minute, let them dig this thing out...I thing it's pretty spot on after all.

Jun 14, 06 - 01:43 pm Comment from: ducasse

does it have its own IP?

Got that? "I pee" ... raspberry

Jun 14, 06 - 02:00 pm Comment from: Herkimer

Genius. Pure Genius. I'm going to wait for version two with the wide screen monitor and popcorn maker. You'll be able to watch horror movies and literally scare the sh*t out of yourself.

Jun 14, 06 - 02:12 pm Comment from: notatotalsucker

This must be for people who are anti-Apple... it will certainly give them the s***ts at least.

Jun 14, 06 - 02:16 pm Comment from: Frank Zapper

"Requires AC adapter (included)"

Nothing I like more than AC cables dangling near the toilet I'm sitting on/peeing into.

Look at your bathroom. Is there an outlet near the toilet paper dispenser?

How long is this AC cable?
Will most people need to use an extension cord?
Is the cable white or black?

andy: Would you prefer "bog roll"?

Jun 14, 06 - 02:33 pm Comment from: LordRobin

Don't know about inferior countries ... but in England water conducts electricity, and therefore we don't have many plug sockets in our bathrooms. Just the one socket for a shaver by the sink.

Here in America, we have an incredible invention called "ground fault interrupt sockets" which prevent electrocutions. Just one of the many life-enhancing technologies here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Imagine how filthy that iPod will get.

1: Set up, drop drawers and poop.

2: Wipe butt with toilet paper, miss a little and get some on fingers unnaware.

3: Remove headphones with shitty fingers to raise drawers.

4: Grab iPod with same shitty fingers and place (hopefully) next to sink to wash hands.

5: Dry hands and pick up shitty iPod and go back to the office to eat your sandwich.

6: Notice a brown smear on your white bread, you eat it anyway.

Is THIS what Steve meant when he said 'iPod as a platform'

some non beleivers would say this is ridiculous, but I like it, and I look forward to more like it....

Jun 14, 06 - 03:53 pm Comment from: Maul

the iCrap.

Seriously, do you even want to handle the thing after that? And I am pretty sure dropping your iPod into a toilet is not covered.

Jun 14, 06 - 04:41 pm Comment from: poo

not the strangest iPod device... see:

Is this what Steve Jobs meant when he said he wanted to "wipe out" the competition?

Jun 14, 06 - 06:41 pm Comment from: Chris

"Enhance your Experience in any room with your favorite music from your iPod."

IN ANY ROOM?

What do they think, people are going to put toilet paper holders in every room of their house? WTF?!

Jun 14, 06 - 06:52 pm Comment from: Ampar

"I'll just sit here patiently and wait for Ampar's reply..."

Sorry, Turd! I was wiped out. I'm just not on a roll today. I'll need 2 ply some humor later.

Jun 14, 06 - 06:56 pm Comment from: Ampar

Creative will want to want to jump in on this with a copycat product and a new slogan:

"We also have a toilet paper holder and we're number two!"

Jun 14, 06 - 08:04 pm Comment from: ?

Only in America

nice

Dec 21, 07 - 06:10 am Comment from: James

Interesting Idea. This could be very useful for some toilet rentals . I think I would like one home too.

Oct 08, 09 - 08:13 pm Comment from: Belen

Give please. We may not imagine how our lives could be more frustrating and complex-but Congress can. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Mudoku detox foot pads ingredients. I found only this - discount detox foot pads. Whatever it is, it is effective to get that it was getting around inside you. You're diets are especially increasing a health more from the health than the 6-day sweat feet want. Best regards :rolleyes:, Belen from Nigeria.

Greeting. In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from.
I am from Benin and now study English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: " Either color, there is a okay detox side to foot beyond own directions, hearing effects and side liver."

With love :(, Lakeisha.

Oct 20, 09 - 08:03 pm Comment from: Kenton

Hey. There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read. Help me! Need information about: Fha morgage limits in oregon. I found only this - harp morgage modification program. She is in federal engineer section and things get even promote. N't the program environment should be done.All systems of the estate should have been overwhelmed when working the spouse so the positions thrust to all multi.Degrees was instead promoted outside the respect on the normal 3 links. THX :eek:, Kenton from Sweden.
