I don't go to the bathroom without at least a billion transistors in my pocket.


Toilet surfing was the "killer use" that prompted me to get WiFi as an early adopter!


I actually usually read HN from the toilet. ;)


Someone's already capitalising on this market: http://www.ipoonow.com/


I'm a bit "germaphobic" really, I couldn't dream of using my laptop or phone while doing anything of that nature. I realize that my hands on my keyboard are probably far dirtier even with washing them, but eh, I guess I'm not a completely logical machine.


Bathroom time is quiet time for quality thinking. Leave the silicon out of it ;p


I'm doing it... (dramatic pause) right now (orchestra hit).


Yes

I honestly cannot 'go' unless I am not thinking about 'going'; I used to hum and sing to myself, but that made people angry. Thank God for my smartphone!


I am in the toilet now.


Nothing to do...
