Perceptual "Funny" link thread

[kuratkull]

It's a cute link

But maybe a mod would add "NSFW" infront of the link. :)

It was purely by chance I saw this.

Btw, since I'm at work, I won't click the link so I can't tell how bad it is. Someone please describe what's lurking there so I can remove the post, if necessary.

It is Poo Pic's which when I first opened, I laughed and said how could these people do it! But on further reflection, I was too hasty to do such a thing..

Once again my apologies to all those I offended

I'm not offended at all by that link, and won't ask to remove it.
I just wanted to show how astonished I was, sorry.

Frickin' amazing stuff.
(And somewhat scary, from a privacy perspective)

I already tested it some days ago.

It showed people I was searching living 600 Km far from where they really were.

But I'm living in Italy, where every target is 600 Km far from where it should be... So I suppose it works fine.

I was horrified, until I noticed the date the story was posted.

Google announces free in-home wireless broadband service

"Dark porcelain" project offers self-installed plumbing-based Internet access


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 1, 2007 - Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the launch of Google TiSP (BETA)™, a free in-home wireless broadband service that delivers online connectivity via users' plumbing systems. The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.

"We've got that whole organizing-the-world's-information thing more or less under control," said Google Co-founder and President Larry Page, a longtime supporter of so-called "dark porcelain" research and development. "What's interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you - not to mention from you."

For years, data carriers have confronted the "last hundred yards" problem for delivering data from local networks into individual homes. Now Google has successfully devised a "last hundred smelly yards" solution that takes advantage of preexisting plumbing and sewage systems and their related hydraulic data-transmission capabilities. "There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time," says Page. "And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and - splat - right onto your PC."

Users who sign up online for the TiSP system will receive a full home self-installation kit, which includes a spindle of fiber-optic cable, a TiSP wireless router, installation CD and setup guide. Home installation is a simple matter of GFlushing™ the fiber-optic cable down to the nearest TiSP Access Node, then plugging the other end into the network port of your Google-provided TiSP wireless router. Within sixty minutes, the Access Node's crack team of Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) should have your internet connection up and running.

"I couldn't be more excited about, and am only slightly grossed out by, this remarkable new product," said Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience. "I firmly believe TiSP will be a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom."

Interested consumers, contractually obligated partners and deeply skeptical and quietly competitive backbiters can learn more about TiSP at http://www.google.com/tisp/install.html.
