Too low
yooper@... 6th Jun 2007
Great job and idea, but It should be mounted to the wall, I wouldn't want to have to reach way down to tear off a piece.
I'm not sure if it's better as commentary on Apple products, or on some of TR's more tedious "How to Dismantle" photo shoots. Either way it's a hoot.

The 2.0 version needs to spray air freshener automatically when the roll is spun.

version 2.0
vtassone@... 6th Mar 2008
They sell the roll part of the dispenser with air freshener in it. When you unroll the TP it releases the freshener. Version 2.1 could be the addition of a computer fan in the case to disperse the freshener wink

Great, this is the only thing I would recommend doing with a Mac, wiping your as#

Otherwise you could get stranded without paper staring a a blue screen and waiting for a reboot.

There is a Windows version. But it comes bundled with a soap dish, toothbrush holder, shower curtain, sink, vanity mirror, and toilet brush.

...and embedded DRM so that you can't get access to the TP unless it's verified that you have an actual need and right to wipe.

version 2.0
ijusth@... 6th Jun 2007
the next version needs a usb interface to the seat so that when you stand it ejects the sheets and then a delay mechanism that after 30 seconds automatically flushs (thus enhancing cleanliness)

You will probably have to download the latest version of Macromedia Flush ( not Shockwave) to achieve this

Would licensing be per server or per seat? What happens if a guest comes over and you don't have enough user licenses?

SP2?
jpc1958_98@... Updated - 6th Jun 2007
I would wait on the windows version until it's at least reached SP2 (and I don't mean Service pack). Kind of like PP2 Poop Pack 2?
That way you could be sure you would be flush (groan) with all the S updates!

The more I think about this, the less I like it it. Imagine what happens if you get a virus or some spy war. Yuk. I suppose the German version has it's own search engine. Will it be able to parse Extrememely Messy Lumps?

Do you mean to tell me it doesn't automatically dispense paper at the wave of your hand? This is not the IMAC I would was installed in my bathroom. LOL

Is there an Ipad version in development?
thats funny... i like the way you saw the potential of a toilet roll dispenser when you saw it - not anything else..

EDIT: Oops, sorry for the double post.
Nice Jobs! Only thing missing is the requisite duct tape! Red Green would be disappointed.
It doesn't seem like it would be very easy to replace the toilet paper roll.

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to discover it only works with the special AppleWipes refills. When I tried another brand, it jammed the mechanism. I took the unit to the Apple store and they said I had voided the warranty and offered me a deal on a new one. Oh, well.
Unfortunately bathrooms are designed inappropriately for the toilet paper dispenser. Instead of being on the wall - right or left - behind or on the floor, they should be in front of the user, to one side.

This reduces the ergonomic inconsistencies and stress involved in using the materials provided for this function.

Even though the iWipe can be placed in front of the user, and is an innovative product, it fails: as when located in front of and facing the user, the rear of the machine is visible to those entering the bathroom.

Perhaps a newer version will remove the ugly rear end.
Unfortunately you will only be able to use Apple's "softwipe" that costs three times as much as anyone else's.
PC's make great temporary boat anchors, and you don't have to look at them.

Bet it worked great when you hooked up the handIwipe sanitizer and MacFresher (apple scented, of couse).

By Lionel Richie's Commode-o-dores. Or, as I liked to call them, the Commode-odors. Either way it's a crap shoot.
How about an i-Bidet???? That's an ass washer for those who don't know what one is.

Stolen Idea
cbarrows@... 27th Aug 2008
Can't come up with your own ideas? Pathetic.
(and that could get REALLY itchy)
This is where in the end all innovations endup
