Not What I Meant By iTouch

There are many that would say this is the proper home for any Apple product. And then Steve Jobs has ninjas vanish them. So I’ll remain carefully neutral and let you fight it out in the comments. I’m Switzerland! – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer Sean says, “Annoyingly enough, you still have to go to the app store and shell out 10 bucks for the “iFlush” app in order for your dispenser to properly interface with your toilet.”

God it’s so hard to resist really really bad jokes…
So I’ll leave you with S Jobs’s quote of the week: “if people want porn, they can buy and Android phone”. Android in hand, Mac mini for tissues, high tech for the real geek.
after all i failed at resisting to post this
You know what they say: Apple isn’t a brand; it’s a lifestyle. If you own one of their products, you own them all. Yes, even the TP dispenser.
On a less jokey note, I’m wondering how they fit the roll in there. No amount of squeezing would get a full roll down to two inches thick. Which means there must be a hole in the tiles the Mini is attached to. And once they’ve gone to that much trouble, wouldn’t it be easier to just mount a real TP dispenser to the wall?
Yea, it looks more like a tissue dispenser to me.
BTW, the Mac Cube’s case was very popular for turning into a tissue dispenser. Made a better puffs box than a computer, it had lots of overheating issues due to poor design – it was more of an “artistic statement” than anything else, I think.
The Mac Cube would make a better bog-roll dispenser than a mini, as there was enough room inside to put a roll in if fitted vertically.
Steve Jobs has an affinity for cubes. When he was fired from Apple in the early 90′s he got some investors together and formed NeXT. Their machines were 12″X12″X12″. And they weren’t made very well.
The NeXT cubes were the last machines they made, probably for a reason. My personal Color Turbo NeXT Station (with ADB sound box – yes, I’m a real geek) is a pizza box form factor – and still runs just fine.
And no, I don’t have any Macs.
I received a NeXT Cube for Christmas over a decade ago. Best surprise gift, complete with keyboard, mouse, display, and some extra software. Everything I needed to use it except the root password.
My sister got it at an auction. The ex-wife of a divorced couple from whom she was buying a house was selling it and didn’t know the password. It sold for $25 with a single bid. I asked what her name was. Login: root, password: her name, I was in.
And I even got a free upgrade of the NEXTSTEP OS for Y2K compliance from Apple.
That’s a Mac Mini not the Cube.
“[The Mac Cube] had lots of overheating issues due to poor design”
My G4 Cube hasn’t had any overheating issues. But then I don’t put anything on top of it, I keep it on a hard, level, uncluttered surface, and I don’t use it in hot environments.
Heat only becomes an issue with replacing some of the internal hardware such as a more powerful video card that produces more heat. It provides for installing a fan to assist the chimney-effect cooling. The tightly packed system though reduced the options for replacement video cards.
It’s a special kind of toilet paper called iWipe, you have to order it through iTunes.
…I mean, since when do you expect an Apple product to be compatible with industry-standard software?

Hey look: Someone finally found a use for the Mac Mini.
Now look sad and say: “iPad”
With an iPad you get more that 10 hrs of wiping power on the go according to the Apple website!
YOU WIN
@Steve: more likely a folded product, like paper towels.
it is. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/modding/2005/06/10/itoilet_mod/1
Personally, I like Apple stuff.
The TP dispenser is fine. I am concerned about the bag of candy next to it.
these are wet wipes, mostly used for changing babies.
That “bag of candy” is a Medela product, a company that specializes in breast-pump equipment.
“THAT’s where I left my suppositories!”
Moral: Never inquire about a bag of candy seen in someone else’s bathroom.
The other moral: don’t ask about people’s bathrooms at all.
iWipe
iCame, iSaw, iWiped
iSat. iPeed. iWiped.
iPeed, iMissed, iMan.
iPeed, iPeed, iDesperate.
Kludgemonster ate my iComment.
fluffly: iLike
sorry – fluffy
It may look ridiculous, but a tissue dispenser starting at $599 is nothing to sneeze at!
If you do that with a Mac Pro (tower) you can store a 6-month supply of TP with 2 dispensers (2 DVD bays)!
What I find disturbing is how perfectly the Mac fits in with the bathroom decor.
This is too easy. Try to make a lighter out of a iPod shuffle next time..
I hope that was done by a Happy Genius Bar Employee, at the store.
– Ok, a Mac Mini, what seems to be the problem?
– It doesn’t work
– Sure, we can fix it for a massive amount of money that would buy you a laptop of any other brand.
– Why don’t you take the insides and shove it!
– Well sir, that would void the warranty… It’s on the manual, right next to “don’t use in excessively humid or condensing environments, like bathrooms”
– I’ll just keep the case then…
You mean
-I’ll keep it just in case
is that the iWipe?
Iphone, Imac, Ipad, Ipod, Ipod touch, Istove, Irobotchef, Ihome, Imower, Iguard, Ioffice, Ibuilding, Igovernment, Iskynet, Ifindjohnconner, Iapocalypse……….Oh yeah. The Future’s bright.
I mean, it can’t be a coincidence that SkyNet has six letters and Apple has five. Think about it.
I’m watching you, Jobs……
Thank you for the comprehensive iArmegeddon countdown.
On the plus side, Macs don’t get viruses…
[facepalm]
Does Apple have an app for that?
They’re working on it.
got to be the iVaccine, get it now, before it gets you!
You people are just jealous that you aren’t using iMacs right now. Instead, you’re using POS PC’s. With Vista.
Nope. Linux.
A plague on both your houses.
Great. My Mac doesn’t have viruses, but now it’s got the plague.
I am using a MacBook – with this operating system known as Unix. With a GUI that makes KDE look, um … unpolished, at best.
So you young whipper-snapper, pay a bit of respect to your elders; and think before you plague someones house.
I’m on a Hackintosh–OS 10.6.3 on a Dell 10v. The plague be in all three of your houses. Bwa-ha-ha!
Actually I’m using Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro and I’ve never before had such a strong urge to bash my computer against a wall.
How much did that iMac cost? $600 bucks for a Toshiba Satellite, AMD Turion X2, ATI Radeon 3100. If I threaten my computer’s life, it can run Crysis. (Not recommended unless you’ve sold your first born.)
^^ WRONG ! with xp and what?
If it’s a Mac, you prob can’t replace the paper either…
Ipaper, $50 a pack, only Apple-serviceable, 3 to 4 days turnaround.
I’ve heard that Andropaper is a bit less soft but no-one tells you what’s appropriate on it, and they encourage having a second pack for quick swaps.
Well, that’s one use for it. Mine’s become a doorstop ever since the Power Mac came in.
Yes, Yes.. iPee, iTurd, iWipe
But first, iFart.
I’m hungry! What’s in the yellow bag? Fruit Loops?
Never eat cereal in the bathroom, waldo. Maybe a sub sandwich, but then only if in the tub.
rub a dub dub, sub in the tub. catchy
Dear Ms. Fix It, I love you!!
Well, the computer kludges have finally hit bottom.
So is the toilet an iPoop, or is that just a MS product?
It’s a BM product.
nope its a bs product
This is obviously the men’s room. The women’s room, in addition to this kludge, has an iPad dispenser.
I was hoping someone else would go there so I didn’t have to. (thank you!)
Oh please Anna, you would have still gone there, especially after your remark about the expanding foam. (I’m now seeing a shrink. Hope you’re happy.)
iPaper!
Well here’s a first: a Mac trying to be a PeeSee.
Time for another download!
iPood-the latest in a long line of crappy apple products.
This gives a whole new meaning to AppleCare…
Well, Apple already used iPod and iPad…obviously the next vowel movement led to iPeed and iPood.
ha! vowel movement!
Annoyingly enough, you still have to go to the app store and shell out 10 bucks for the “iFlush” app in order for your dispenser to properly interface with your toilet.
I jailbroke mine so it can wirelessly flush the toilet.
with Br0wnRain?
Is it just a coincidence that I am reading this on a Mac just after I used the bathroom?
Finally! A task really worthy of a mac!
There’s a crap for that.
Stink Differant
ok, it’s official now, I am a Punaholic. I am powerless to resist the Hilarity. I came to believe that the only exercise I needed was to read these comments until iPeed…oh dang, there I go again…
/s/ backslider
How strange, I also am reading this on my mac, just after going to the bathroom! Seriously!
Finally, a use for Macs.
This. Plain. Hurts.
It’s the newer version of this:
http://www.instructables.com/id/My-Apple-iWipe/
Does it come with a loo brush to scrub your harddrive.
Looks like another Apple monopoly to me, ie Itunes/Ipod. But no one screams and yells about that. Now if it was Microsoft, that’s another matter.
finally something useful for a mac ^^
That would be Steve Big Jobs, then.
Add some iPads, and that bathroom is complete.
LOL.. This is great. I need to buy one
Anyone who has tried to open a Mac Mini knows that you would never consider to refill the dispenser. I’s like trying to change the battery on an Iphone. You just don’t.
Introducing..The Apple IWipe……
Wow, only the fourth person to make that connection! Read the comments first, hero.
Hey Trapped in Time..Next time, try a little kindness..It goes a long way, you pompous ass.
I guess if you hang two sheets of toilet paper out of any household item it gets featured as a “kludge”? Thumbs to the mofkn ground.
This is what happens when you make products that leans more towards aesthetics than functionality.
That may make some Apple fanboys mad, but deep down inside you know it’s true.
Whatever they call it, perhaps they should buy a gentler tissue. The “bag of candy” is Prep H.
Is the spray can next to the toilet iFreshener for iStink?
yes but if u jail broke that baby u would get all that for free…
…and get really cool new skins!!!
Not the dream of a retired Mac! seriously!
