The amount of electronics thrown away rather than recycled in 2007.
The EPA reports that 82% of electronics disposal in 2007 ended up in the garbage (mostly landfills) rather than a recycling center. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Great. I've been waiting for the male birth control.
Human!!These things are just killing the earth!!
We really need more green gadget rather than these 'fancy' earth killer.
Is this the engadget 101st gadget giveway round 1?
It was given away.
Shagadelic baby, yeheah!
That TV is too big for the space; there isn't enough distance from the screen. The spa users will be complaining about the pixelated image.
Unless your drunk
TVs of this size are supposed to be viewed from at least 8 feet away. I saw that in a Circuit City once.
But it brings TV to a new place. TVs in the fridge weren't enough. We need TVs in the jacuzzi! Seriously, what on TV can be that important?
That has to be a mistake. 61 inches is ridiculously too big to watch from that distance. The picture looks more like a 32 inch screen, in comparison to the tub, which is a lot more sensible.
Looks really REALLY uncomfy...
Didn't your mother ever tell you to not sit so close to the TV?
He came,
He enjoyed,
He electrocuted
Dude, I'm getting a chub just looking at a picture of it. Forget the TV, those jet arrangements look orgasmic. Mmm.
Since when did Catalina start making Jacuzzis?
They make Catalina Spas... Not Jacuzzi spas. That name is exclusive to the Jacuzzi company.
If you need an LCD TV in your Jacuzzi for bragging rights, then this isn't it... Only Jacuzzi can deliver.
that just pop the price tag 4000$ more!
"hey babe, let's by this 8999$ spa instead!"
there is the XLZ17X 17 Inch and the XL 22 Inch.
Are you really supposed to sit in a hot tub for a 2 hour movie?
I bet your balls would melt off.
Thermospas.com offers a similar option though not as large, but their speakers are built into the spa using the concave shape and water to distribute the sound so that the main directional sound hits within the hottub and doesn't bother those around it.
I have to say, that hottub is bad-ass! even without the tv
Yuuum, look at the viewing angle from the front seat. Ain't that a treat? Does the thing come with a manual explaining how to sit?
Umm, Jacuzzi is a company in itself. Plus I believe its a trademark registered name.
this is like a spouse killer waiting to happen...whoops honey the tv fell in and shocked you to death leaving me a measly 1 million in insurance.
I sell Jacuzzi. If Jacuzzi did make it I wouldn't sell it, too tacky. You can get a cool outdoor TV for the same price as the upgrade and can actually be used.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't La Scala do this a while back? Only, i'm sure it was a 40-inch LCD.
I like the idea of T.V everywhere possible! They should figure out how to throw some speakers in there... I found this cool post on how a bathtub was a giant speaker? Check it out at
