I don't know if I really wanted to know this...

Hey, it's a great idea! Put a stocked refrigerator in it, and you've got the ultimate MMORPG-addict box.

 

[Davelozzi]

Yeah, I saw this yesterday and I think it's the worst idea ever.

I'm not sure how sanitary a keyboard of mouse can remain in such an environment. I think they'd better get some voice-recognition software functionally sound before I'll surf, shower and shave...

That keyboard better get put in a disinfectant bath between users...

... otherwise, icky!

So are they going to hand out cigarettes afterward?

I find it hard to believe this story didn't come out on April 1st.

First you have the hygiene issues, then the health issues (anyone for piles?), then security issues as that keyboard or the whole PC will be nicked if left at a festival for more than a few minutes, then the queues at festival toilets are long enough as it is. This has got to be the most stupid idea yet.

Good point.

Evercrack hygene fused with a public toilet...

uhg there goes my lunch

Well, *I* already have such a thing in my own home, but it is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. I can't quite imagine how this would work in a public environment, since, in my personal experience, most fixtures at public restrooms wind up vandalized sooner or later.

From another article I found, they have put an internet connection on a park bench as well.. Cannot find the article currently.
