Saru Posted August 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The founder of Microsoft has turned his attention to providing toilet facilities to 2.5 billion people. As the winner of the Reinvent the Toilet challenge, the team gets another $100,000 to fine-tune the device, which is a bit more complicated than your ordinary pot. Read more...

Order66 Posted August 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) The toilet works, but its clunky. It needs something to lay over it, to make it more user-friendly. At first it will work great, but then it will evolve into a toilet that's twice is big, twice as slow, and difficult to use, but you will have no choice but to use it because it is industry standard. Fortunately, toilet support will be available for a nominal fee.You have to make sure to upgrade/update every so often though, otherwise it will mysteriously start clogging and overflowing.

Zaphod222 Posted August 24, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Totally laughable crap, excuse the pun. Guess what happens with his high-tech solar power crapper the moment Bills foundation installs it a typical third-world hellhole. The usable parts get stolen, and the rest trashed. Just shows in what kind of lala land our elites are living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjadude Posted August 25, 2012 #19 Share Posted August 25, 2012 did anyone actually read the article? It sickens me all these snide comments. He's spending his money to better mankind. You may not realize this but there are many places in the world that don't have flush toilets. Human waste and contamination are huge problems. They don't have water for flush toilets and relieve themselves in or near rivers and streams that are also used for drinking water. Eww you say. But that's what it's like. The initiative is to make one that will work in those places, with little water, and most likely a squat toilet, thereby raising their standard of living.
