For geeks who can’t even stand a few minutes in toilet without an internet connection, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has unveiled eToilet to help capitalize on that time. eToilet includes a 21-inch flat-screen monitor built into the toilet lid itself that swings out on a swivel arm when in use. The touch-activated eToilet protects the screen from spray during use or flushing with its built-in proximity sensor. eToilet not just lets you surf the web but it also plays music from Zune, and monitors personal hygiene by shutting-down the lid automatically, when left open, so that, you don’t have to hear a lecture on Toilet-manners from your wife again! And, that’s not it, there are many other features including built-in thermostat, a delay mechanism to prevent flushing while someone is in the shower and a few more. And, last but not the least; Microsoft has integrated their eLoo technology in the eToilet that allows for the activation of remote call features. The eToilet is expected to retail for a price between $499 and $599, from probably, next month.
