USATODAY.com - Microsoft says iLoo not a hoax, but project dead anyway

From USA Today:

Microsoft and its public relations firm have changed their story -- again -- about whether its United Kingdom division had been developing an Internet-enabled portable toilet....

On Monday, three representatives for the Redmond software giant told news agencies, including The Associated Press, that an April 30 news release trumpeting the "iLoo" was a hoax and apologized for "any confusion or offense" for the joke.

But on Tuesday, the company reversed itself, saying the iLoo had been real -- only it's now been killed.
