Holy Crap! Google's TiSP service! Amazing!

[Stonewall382]

Check it out:

You take a cable that Google sends you, flush it down the toilet, and get free wireless service throughout your whole house!  It's the wave of the future!

Oh, how I laughed.

 

[James]

Lol. I was just about to check that out anyway.

 

[Nethros]

I thought you were gonna leave, James.

Anyway, that sounds really amazing!

 

[Janus]

No ****! Holy crap is right. I almost wouldn't mind the mess.

Do we look stupid? Needless to say, the fiber optic cable that enables TiSP will not interfere with your toilet's regular operations. For your own convenience, however, you may eventually wish to hire a professional contractor to help route the cable under, or through, the toilet seat to your TiSP wireless router.

I think this  is the most genius thing in the world. It looks awesome. I want one!

 

[Sir Prince]

I want one too!

An excellent joke on Google's part.

Unless of course, it wasn't

But... where will I **** if I'm using my toilet as a modem? I don't think Google has really given this a lot of thought. I predict it will flop.

I mean, they claim on the website that you can still use your toilet, but I happen to have some plumbing experience (spent a summer in New York with my uncle who is a super), and I can tell you that any sort of extra mass, like a cable, would easily cause the toilet to clog the next time it is used.

Happy April's fool :

On a completely serious part, there are already some home networks which use the electricity circuit to transmit data between comps. So.... metal toilet pipes aren't that far-fetched.... who wants to sponsor the development? ::X

We believe that all users deserve free, fast and sanitary online access.

Hahaha...

Thanks for posting this.  It's a pity April first comes only once per year.   

Why is TiSP in beta?
When things go wrong with TiSP, they go very, very wrong. Let's leave it at that.

Must.... stop... laughing. 

Also, for those of you who use gmail (best free email on the web), they have a new service that just started today: Gmail paper.

They now can print out select emails from gmail and will mail them (bulk) via snail mail right to your door!  Amazing!  Google has done it again!

I was under the impression the cable wasnt in the little hole at the bottom of the toilet. I thought it went further through, but not enough so it would go to a sweage plant. Anyways, you could still use it to pee, jsut not to crap.
