Charmin thinks your bathroom needs robots and VR
Charmin, the popular toilet paper brand, has big plans for CES. Its Charmin GoLab will showcase "cheeky" conceptual prototypes all meant to improve the bathroom experience. They're a blend of robotics, sensors and virtual reality, and they're all equally ridiculous.
This Mac mini sure is a pile of...
I'm all for repurposing used electronics, but this one is a bit of a stretch. [Photo credit: Ifrankland]
This Google's made from 100% Virgin pulp, not chrome
Hey, it may not be from California but at least this KIRF's registered with the Vietnamese trademark office (right). Anywho, according to Google's own machine translation, the subtext of this product reads, "Very long, soft, smooth. Of high vacuum, because you always!" Reflect on that while you pick up the simmering scraps of your mind -- work can wait.[Thanks, DMZ]
Mac SE gutted, converted into toilet paper dispenser
We've seen antiquated Macs given new life as fish tanks and living room decorations, but the iWipe takes repurposing to an entirely different level. As you can clearly see in the image above, one particular engineering soul figured a spare Macintosh SE case would look a whole lot better in his bathroom than in the trash, so he whipped out a screwdriver, removed some internal brackets and gave the unit a fresh coat of paint. $15 and a few hours later, out popped his new toilet paper dispenser. Check out the read link for a bunch more pics -- oh, and stop second guessing yourself, you're totally building one of these next weekend.
Hello Kitty gets her own automatic toilet paper dispenser
Sadly, automatic toilet paper dispensers are nothing new to this gadget-crazed world, but the latest from Sanrio puts a bizarre twist on an already zany contraption. The Hello Kitty TP dispenser is gushing with obligatory cuteness and can be programmed to dole out exactly the right amount of paper with each button press; of course, there really should be a couple of buttons to satisfy the whole family, but we digress. The unit reportedly rings up at around $220, which sounds about two bills too high unless you're already devoted to collecting all things adorned with Ms. Kitty. Ah well, at least your Hello Kitty toilet paper won't seem so out of place now, right?
No More Heroes toilet paper better be two-ply
It's not uncommon to give schwag at a game's launch party, but this No More Heroes themed toilet paper has to be one of the more original gifts. The toilet paper was only given to twenty lucky souls, making it extremely unlikely that you'll ever see one of these ridiculous rolls in your lifetime. Note to self: Next time Grasshopper Manufacture and Marvelous Interactive team up for a launch party, make sure to haul ass to Japan for the hilarious gifts. [Via Gemaga]
Rig of the Day: iMac + T.P. dispenser
