I have a soft spot for Ron Arad. His Bookworm bookshelf was the first piece of designer furniture I craved (admittedly, this might have been due to the fact that it was up on the wall in the apartment of a boy I craved.) He has me confused now, though, with his this design for a bathtub-shower-thingie that ever-so-slightly reminds me of this crazy wall sculpture from last year. Called Rotator, it transforms from shower to bath and back again, but there's something about its continuous trickle of water that makes me want to... hang on, back in a bit.

Rotator Bath-cum-Shower (Stop Sniggering at the Back) is Confusing

Does Apple Have the Balls to Sue Its Korean Namesake?
Poor the Apple. No sooner has the Cupertino conquistador de computadoras taken steps to protect its trademark against GreeNYC than another eponymous company pops up. This one's in Korea and it sells toilets and bidets which do all those flash things so beloved of Asian poopers. Did I really just write that? Oh dear, yes I did. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Jobs' riposte. Will he bring out something for the bathroom that includes shower function, heat seat, self cleaning and user memory? If I were him, I'd just send in the lawyers. [AppleZen via i4u]

I Ain't Gettin' In No Rubber Tub, Fool. Oh, Alright, If You Insist
Just what the hell fool came up with this idea? Let me just put my T-focals on and read you what the blurb says. "A soft tub for the body. For children and adults. For play and healing. In the garden or the stylish bathroom." Healing? HEALING? What kinda fool tub gives you healing??? It gives you cleaning, that's what a tub gives you. It's made of EDPM rubber and cork, and I have a message for the sucka behind the design. Ole Jensen? I think you wear panty hose! [pan-dan via SwissMiss]

The Foot Flush is a bathroom mechanism that hooks to your toilet flusher and pulls the handle down when you step on the foot pedal, creating a hands-free toilet experience. It might expose your lack of taste in interior decor and make you appear socially inept. But be damned if you let that germ incubator masquerading as your bathroom launch an all-out attack on your immune system. The Foot Flush is available now for $20. [Foot Flush via MSN via DVICE]

This right here is a $100,000 shower. It costs way more than your shower. What do you get for such a ridiculous price? How about 18 showerheads? Judging by the photo, most of them are all around you, but one powerful showerhead looks to be a, well, undercarriage cleaner, just in case you like having a fire hose shot at your taint in the morning. It's all computer controlled and has fancy temperature zones and such, but you know what you're really paying for: the cleanest taint in all the land. Hit the jump to see the most pertinent video I could find on how this could benefit you in the future.

The Toilet that thinks it's a Bench (aka a Can for the Coy)
For those of you who think that toilets shouldn't even be seen, let alone heard, Californian remodeling firm Julien asked Troy Adams Design to come up with a secret loo that doubles as a "Powder Room Bench." Slide the wooden cover over the pedestal when you want it hidden away, slide it back to reveal your secret toilet in all its glory. What's the point? I mean, if you're really, truly embarrassed by bodily functions, you could just not "do" anything. And then you'd explode. And that would be nice, wouldn't it? More »

Where else but Japan would you find a sink like this? It's got basically every sink-related bathroom item built right in, with motion sensors for each. Sure, it's got water, soap, and a hand dryer all built-in, but, as Travis asked, can you pee in it? Keep working at it, Japan. You're almost there. More »

Urinal Sculptures, Still Just'a Peein'
What a better way to say good morning on a Friday than with fun and unique urinal sculptures. These pieces of art are designed to be placed in the bathrooms of art museums and they range from $6,500 to $10,500 if you feel ever-so-compelled to take one home. It's just like being drunk and peeing in the flowers, but this time you aren't killing the flowers! Sorry, ladies. The artist behind these urinals is obviously sexist and doesn't want you to partake in any of the fun. More »

Dyson Airblade: 400mph, No Hot Air
James Dyson, billionaire inventor of expensive vacuum cleaners, has time on his hands to worry about bathroom bacteria, so he created the Dyson Airblade, a supercharged hand dryer that pumps room-temperature air through a tiny slot at 400mph. Dyson claims the device uses a "windshield-wiper" effect, drying both hands in 10 seconds. Since it doesn't use any hot air, he says it uses 83% less energy. Must be noisy, though. To go on sale in the UK next month, Dyson's reverse vacuum cleaner for hand drying will cost 549 (around $1027), and will also be available for lease. More »

On Target Urinal Games
Being a man is great! People like Marcel Neundorfer can turn a simple task like urinating into a fun and exciting game. He placed a pressure-sensitive display pad within the urinal and when it is impacted an interactive game will be triggered on a front display screen. The target inside the urinal is small with hopes to improve restroom hygiene and save on clean-up costs. I haven't had this much fun urinating since my loss in the distance peeing championship during 7th grade. More »

Best and Worst... Toilets of CES
The mystery of where consumer electronics products go when they die has been solved: the men's bathrooms at the entrance of North Hall. The toilets at CES this year reek of the offal from seven different continents. Please, can anyone tell me where to find a bathroom that I don't have to hold my breath while using? I'll start: The one under the Panasonic booth in Central Hall is, surprisingly, survivable. The one near the India Cafe concession in South Hall? Well, take a lucky guess...
