The best part is the "biometrics" toilet seat that'll figure out who you are based on your weight and prints the news you want - not your roommates tabloid garbage. Going to the rsstroom will never be boring again!Yi Tien Electronics enters the digital home with rsstroom reader™ personal news delivery system

Uh, Tom? This is not a fake. I've been hacking the one in the Senate wash room. I ballooned myself up to, and I'm not making this up, "liberal blowhard" weight. And now, when Ted Kennedy goes into the cripple stall there at the capitol, he gets my right-wing, Nazi-loving RSS feed. This is the bestest country evar.
