Basically, the latest press on the iLoo concept can be summed up like this:
“Ok, ok, the iLoo wasn’t a hoax after all, we just said it was one. Then we realized that while this plan worked to get you to stop laughing at us for inventing the iLoo in the first place, now you were laughing at us for claiming that it was an April Fool’s Day joke, just a month late. Crap, that backfired too. Still being laughed at by everyone. The truth is, we really have no clue what is going on, but it was a crappy idea so we pulled it from the market.”
Good idea, Microsoft! [via Mike]
By the way, one of my pet peeves is when you ask someone a question and they answer by saying, “Do you want me to tell you the truth?” No! No! Lie to me! I love it when you lie to me! Of course I want the truth – that’s why I asked the question! Don’t you just hate that question?

In a perfect world Microsoft would be in charge of toilets and nothing else. They would use 55 gallons of water per flush and would have an ugly design, but at least the computing world wouldn’t be flooded with viruses and bloated software.
Hehe, sometimes I would rather people lie to me than tell the truth … but only sometimes. 😉 And I usually don’t know which I want until it’s too late. 😉
yeah I hate that.. and to make it even worse they are answering a question with a question.. I hate that too.
I hate when someone says “Well, to be honest,….”. It’s as if the rest of the time they aren’t. There’s a lot of weakness in the English language, don’cha think?
“…it was a crappy idea…”
Oy. So many jokes. So little time.
Definitely hate that question!
Well, I guess since Microsoft’s stock has been in the crapper for years, they figured they’d put their service in there as well. Good place for ’em, I say. 😉
when someone says ….”do you want the truth?”…. it only-makes me wonder which times they havean’t told the truth.
hey christine….way to go with picture yourself. the big one zero zero zero zero!
Do I hate that question? Well, honestly, if you want me to tell the truth, yes.
hahaha – “It was a crappy idea” hahaha!!
well do you want the truth? hehe
“You can’t handle the truth!”
Ugh, what was the name of that film? I can never remember the name! I can just see him yelling that in the court room. “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
Ok, you can always count on Google. It was Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men” – you can hear an audio clip of it here.
Gee, I guess Microsoft thinks it can afford to lose a little more credibility.
