Microsoft is taking the concept of the “toilet seat” Clamshell iBook a little further. MS is apparently developing a portable toilet complete with waterproof plasma screen and keyboard for surfing while doing your “business.” It is dubbed the “iLoo.” This, from the same maker of the “Explorer”, a recliner for lazy web surfers.
Aaahh. More acquisition news this week.
Personally, I use Virtual PC to open PC files on my Mac it otherwise can’t (AVIs, EXEs, etc.). The last time Microsoft bought a Mac-friendly company, it delayed the Mac version of its product. Halo was originally going to be released first on the Mac until Microsoft decided to buy Bungie, makers of Halo. Microsoft subsequently redirected the efforts of the Halo development team to release the game first on the XBox console system. The Mac version (or the PC version, for that matter) is nowhere to be seen two years after its announcement. In the meantime, Halo 2 is already coming out on the XBox.
