10:19AM Nick Broughall | How many of you actually clean the toilet? How many of you have a loving partner who does it for you? I thought so. Well, You can say goodbye to those angry sighs, muffled curses and questions of your ability to shoot straight. Australian scientists have come up with a coating containing miniature robots nanoparticles that will take over the scrubbing, washing and disinfecting of your bathroom.
The coating contains tiny particles of titanium dioxide, which gets very excited by UV light – so much so that they can break down organic compounds and kill bacteria like E. coli. I’m not sure if anyone has noted that a human’s backside is made of an organic compound though, so you’d be using this at your own risk.
In any case, the result of exciting these particles is an oxidising energy which far surpasses that of your standard bathroom cleaner, bleach. And that means that no matter how hot the curry, your toilet is always going to look and smell sparkling fresh.

If Apple Made a Toilet: Air Poo, With Multi-Touch
10:40AM Matt Buchanan | The Air Poo is everything Apple could stuff into a toilet, minus OS X. The multi-touch flushpad intuitively uses one finger swipe to send no. 1 down the pipes and two fingers for no. 2, which its built-in iPod dock and surround sound masks with “crystal clear highs and bowel-shaking lows.” More »
