At a consumer fair in Baden Baden today Apple supremo Steve Jobs launched his company's latest foray into domestic electronics with their long awaited portable Jacuzzi. Branded the iBubble, the stylish carbon fibre titanium clad device comes with hot and cold running water scented with patchouli oil, and is powered by Intel's new 2.66 MBs (million bubbles per second) Washngo chip. To enhance the user's experience customers can download bikini-clad models from Apple's popular iTotty store, while making use of the built-in tea and coffee maker. The device is designed for ease of use, and syncs seamlessly with your home bath, shower and bidet. The iBubble will be in stores tomorrow, retailing at $249.
Fifteen minutes later, at a hastily arranged press conference in Redmond, Microsoft announced their own portable bathing device. The Farto is a tin bath available in the same turd-brown-with-a-translucent-green-skin colour that has proved so popular with the dozen or so people who have bought a Zune since it's launch six months ago. The Farto only comes with cold water, which customers can buy from the Microsoft Markmywordsit'llneverworket Place at 87.5 Microsoft points ($12) a bucket. CEO Steve Bulimia denied that this product was designed to be an 'iBubble killer'. "When I've spent ten minutes marching around a stage waving my arms about like a demented orang-utan screaming 'Developers! Developers! Developers!' I get pretty sweaty and mingy, and the Farto will be ideal to scrub my pits on the way back to the padded room" the peculiar man said. "Besides, you can squirt people with this!" he shouted. Rather embarrassingly the press conference was then disrupted as the Farto leaked, apparently because the plug didn't fit properly. The Farto is expected in stores in 2012 or 15 or something and will retail at $249.99.

I don't get the fork part... Did they eat people back then?

Wow. I didn't even bother reading that. Paragraphs please. Then, maybe I'll waste my time on your nonsense.
