Not to be outdone by Apple’s announcement of the iPhone, Microsoft has unveiled the long-awaited eToilet^*.

The eToilet is not unlike a regular toilet in its basic functions, but includes a 21-inch flat-screen monitor built into the toilet lid itself that swings out on a swivel arm when in use. Many of its functions are activated by touch, and the eToilet contains a proximity sensor that will protect the screen from spray during use or flushing.

* They really didnt.
