Microsoft admits Internet toilet a hoax
1 hour, 14 minutes ago

SEATTLE, Washington (AFP) - Microsoft admitted last week's unveiling
of a toilet with high-speed Internet access was a hoax concocted by its
British division.

The fake introduction of the iLoo April 30,
complete with technical drawings, got widespread
play from news media around the world as
Microsoft insisted it was no joke.

It was.

"This iLoo release came out of the (British) office
and was not a Microsoft-sanctioned
communication, and we apologize for any confusion or offense it may have
caused," Microsoft spokeswoman Bridgitt Arnold said.
