Yelp will help you find a gender-neutral bathroom
Yelp has announced that it will enable people to find gender-neutral restrooms when they're out and about. The company will add a feature to its desktop and mobile versions highlighting which businesses offer them. In addition, users will soon be able to directly search for businesses that offer gender-neutral bathrooms. The definition of which is a lavatory that's available to anyone, regardless of gender, and has a locking, single stall.
Automatic toilet paper dispenser doles out neater wads
No, this prototype toilet paper dispenser isn't for you lazy lumps out there, but rather serves to aid disabled folks who sometimes have trouble using those frustrating plastic boxes in public restrooms or even the simple rolls in their own homes. Called the 'TPer' -- we think -- this model operates much like a LEGO-built one we saw awhile back, spinning up an appropriate amount of neatly folded paper before slicing it free to go about its duties. There doesn't seem to be any more info on this one apart from what you see in the vid located after the break, so if you know someone who could use such a device, it looks like you'll have to break out your trusty NXT kit.
