iToilet case mod finally delivers upon the concept's amazing promise

"iToilet" may very well be the lamest running joke in all of Appledom -- at least one badly done render shows up for every Stevenote that goes by -- so it's nice to see it finally deliver. Some nerds found this here toilet sitting by a street, and after some ill-advised drilling and a few cans of spray paint they had a silver toilet complete with Apple logo and computer internals. Yeah, maybe not our idea of a fun weekend, but for an Apple fanboy this is the truest form of devotion. There's video after the break.

Wow...I am shitting Apples reading this....

[Flashpoint @ Feb 21st 2008 10:33AM]

I'm on the toilet DOWN-LOAD-ing...

[Kamokazi @ Feb 21st 2008 11:12AM]

I hear it comes with an iPood dock built-in...

[Derbeste @ Feb 21st 2008 11:18AM]

Ahhhhh the iCrapper.

I don't know that I would buy it though.

I mean it looks really great on the outside, but I hear all the internal parts are a piece of shit.

I mean...I could never get use to a new OS. I'm used to wiping my HDD front to back and they go back to front.

And I'm gonna get REALLY sick of having to do a DNS flush after every memory dump.

I however, I have to give this one REALLY big plus....

Looks like this thing handles porn VERY well.

[Derbeste @ Feb 21st 2008 12:04PM]

one more...

So is this the Mac pro version #2.0?

[E71 @ Feb 21st 2008 5:13PM]

That image represents what I think of all Apple products, sleek on the exterior yet full of crap.

[teej @ Feb 21st 2008 6:07PM]

It wasn't the handle! I've been shitting pancakes ever since!

[rodcadneo @ Feb 21st 2008 10:23AM]

haha IthinkItsShit ;)

[Dude @ Feb 21st 2008 10:23AM]

I knew Apple was full of crap.

[Dorian @ Feb 21st 2008 11:44AM]

apple finally shows it's true colours.

[Darkest Daze @ Feb 21st 2008 11:52AM]

Boom!

Plop.

[John @ Feb 21st 2008 10:27AM]

so, it's a pointless silver thing with the Apple logo on it. What's news here?

[Chewedtoothpick @ Feb 21st 2008 10:32AM]

The news is that it has an apple logo...

You could photoshop an apple logo on poo, and put a lower-case I on it - Engadget would post it in admiration.

[Ian @ Feb 21st 2008 2:49PM]

hmm i thought all the anit-apple ppl out there would love this. o well i guess i was wrong

[Hung @ Feb 21st 2008 9:25PM]

The point is that some apple fans found a toilet in the STREET and took it home. I don't like generalizing about a whole group of individuals but how fucking stupid do you have to be to take something that's held amounts of poop so substantial that someone found no further use for it and left it in the street.

I guess one man's trash is another man's OSX-skinned Gutsy.

[Carbonize @ Feb 21st 2008 10:28AM]

Now we just the iCrap.

[s1pacrat @ Feb 21st 2008 10:29AM]

Wow... the iToilet running Ubuntu.

!!! so much for the mac fanboys.

[Zach @ Feb 21st 2008 10:56AM]

that's what I was thinking. He could at least get OSX running on there. I haven't done it myself, but I know it can be done.

[Jimmy Jones @ Feb 21st 2008 10:32AM]

beginning of madness..........Holy crap it is thinnest toilet in the world.....it is not designed for SHit WArriors... it is designed for sleek and sexiness.

[trumpton @ Feb 21st 2008 10:33AM]

FFS. This isn't news. This isn't technology. This isn't gadgets, electronics or gear - it's just an other excuse to run another content-free piece about your heroes Apple.

I wish someone would start a new tech site with a more balanced and relevent policy because this endless fanboydom is getting really out of hand now.

[AutoTom @ Feb 21st 2008 10:35AM]

lol copy engadget and take away the 'apple store is down' posts and gizmodo esque posts like this one?

yeah that would be good.

i mean.. i dont mind posts like this but i really think its.. not news.. not what we come to engadget for..

[sean @ Feb 21st 2008 11:44AM]

Yeah any fruit cake can put an Apple sticker on something! I am all for a new site with non of this crap on it.

[trevor @ Feb 22nd 2008 12:23AM]

Jesus! Engadget posts a story saying Apple products are decent, people bitch. Engadget posts a story suggesting Apple products are crap, people bitch.

The only constant here seems to be people bitching.


I like Engadget. You guys do good work. I like the humor you throw in. Keep it up.

[AutoTom @ Feb 21st 2008 10:33AM]

they didnt even illuminate the apple logo
they didnt even put apple hardware in there
i dont see any screen on the toilet seat, theres no proof that they actualy put a computer in there..

totally underwhelmed..

[RobJ @ Feb 21st 2008 11:15AM]

I agree... I would be impressed if they had rigged an LCD under the toilet seat, but they didn't.

Also, that video could have been shortened to about 60 seconds.

Lame.

[Wyze @ Feb 21st 2008 10:37AM]

iStink!

does it play doom?

[AutoTom @ Feb 21st 2008 10:45AM]

this is not worthy of doom

[noyon @ Feb 21st 2008 10:37AM]

What's next? iDiot?

[Jamie @ Feb 21st 2008 10:39AM]

The first time they have a party @ their place, some fool is gonna destroy those components in the bowl...if you follow my thinking...

[Josh L @ Feb 21st 2008 11:14AM]

The sorts of people who would do this are 100% party proof, so they have nothing to worry about.

[Esat @ Feb 21st 2008 10:44AM]

Laugh all you want, at least this thing has a removable battery.

You'd have to pay me a lot of money to remove it though... I'm not sticking my hand down that thing.

[ecobore @ Feb 21st 2008 10:47AM]

So, what's the windoze equivalent? I know, a public toilet full of viruses!!! ;-)

[Prokanda @ Feb 21st 2008 11:28AM]

no... it's a microATX board (plus trimmings) built into a very attractive stained-glass window. ;)

although I don't think you'd have a hard time finding a custom windows box.... we're actually allowed to pick our hardware and built it to exact user-desired-specs... and for only a couple hundred bucks.

we've been doing that for years.... no toilets needed.

[Nubaeus @ Feb 21st 2008 11:31AM]

Fail

[Backlin @ Feb 21st 2008 10:52AM]

Ah yeah. Apple should take this one up on their next computer design. True multi-tasking!

[Ace @ Feb 21st 2008 10:53AM]

It's sad this wasn't done differently. If the entire computer could be placed into the tank along with some type of water cooling, it'd be dual-use. I'd love to still shit in the same toilet, and it could use the water in the tank for water-cooling the computer. :) Doesn't really matter if you flush warm or cold water, eh? :) Would be awesome though. Could be your in-bathroom media player, maybe it could have a sensor to auto-flush and keep a flush counter! :P

[ron @ Feb 21st 2008 10:58AM]

Trolls are so totally into spam. Hey, whatever floats your boat: [e-mail]

[AutoTom @ Feb 21st 2008 12:45PM]

nono dont you remeber that post a few days back?

PC users are too busy picking spare change up of the sidewalk to have insecurities.

i'd hate to be sub-superior.

[fourthletter @ Feb 21st 2008 10:56AM]

Pretty poor job, it isnt even apple anything since the "fan-boys" couldn't even mangae to run osx86 on it. Pretty typical fan-boys as long as it has an apple logo and its silver it must be an apple ! Its a PC Toilet with an apple logo how POO!

[Esat @ Feb 21st 2008 10:56AM]

Oh, and another thing. YOu touched what Mc Hammer said could not be touched. He was right. You can't touch it, cos that music near the end sucked*.

ass.


*You will not understand what I'm talking about unless you watched the video all the way through, nearer the end. I don't blame you if you didn't it was pretty damn boring....

[Bazza @ Feb 21st 2008 10:57AM]

iShit on you.

[Starvine @ Feb 21st 2008 11:02AM]

Makes you wonder how much "multitouching" is going to be done on this thing.

[iheartps3 @ Feb 21st 2008 11:05AM]

Now this ia a chair Mr Balmer would enjoy throwing

[Johnny @ Feb 21st 2008 11:10AM]

Agreed this is a half-assed iToilet. Anyway, I would have named it the 'iPot'. Then again, I guess iPot sounds more like the stuff Steve Jobs is smoking.

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Feb 21st 2008 11:13AM]

SOMEONE LIGHT A MATCH, THIS STINKS!!!

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Feb 21st 2008 11:14AM]

SOMEONE LIGHT A MATCH, THIS STINKS!!!

[DT @ Feb 21st 2008 11:16AM]

[insert "Apple stuff is crappy" comment here]

[Gian @ Feb 21st 2008 11:17AM]

Hmph...I figured all the Apple haters would love this. They get to poop all over Apple for real.

A reminder for all the Steve Jobs haters: The pre-cursor to OS X, NeXTStep, gave us the world's first web server, as well as Wolfenstein and Doom. They were all developed on machines designed and built by a Steve Jobs company.

[Derbeste @ Feb 21st 2008 11:18AM]

Ahhhhh the iCrapper.

They really pulled out all the stops with the sweet effects in the video.
