High Tech Toilet with MP3 player

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006


Japanese toilets are something very special. Everything is raised automatically, the seat is heated and there’s even a small Karcher at 180bar (ok, maybe not 180, but it’s powerful) for the more intimate parts. And now there is an SD slot and an MP3 player!!!

A high tech toilet! Imagine using the toilet while enjoying the music from the MP3 player…. You don’t even need put down the toilet bowl lid, it’s fully automated! I wonder how much it will cost, and will we all be able to enjoy this?

For more information, visit Toto, the manufacturer’s website.

100Mbps Broadband

Monday, February 20th, 2006

NTL is to begin field trials of ultra fast broadband next month in a bid to hit speeds of up to 100Mb.

The UK cableco, which has received the thumbs up to acquire Telewest and is still holding talks to buy Virgin Mobile, is hooking up with US outfit ARRIS to run the trials. The firms have already completed testing in the lab, but want to see how well the technology works in the real world.

100Mbps? That’s very fast! I wonder what is the upload rate though. Will the speed of internet keep on increasing? Will there be a limit? I don’t think so. Someday, we’ll feel that 100Mbps broadband is not sufficient..What do you think?
