We know the Wireless Revolution has truly arrived. More and more Americans are logging wirelessly into the Internet - from their bathrooms.

That's one of the nuggets, and doubtless one that will be raised into a media mountain in the next 24 hours, from this year's Internet Report by the University of Southern California (USC) Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future. The study is due out tomorrow.

Over half of those using home wireless, used it from the bathroom according to the Center's Jeffrey Cole. By a process of ahem elimination, and realizing that typing on a keyboard usually requires two hands for efficiency, Cole concludes that most of these users were sitting on the toilet. Fortunately, he doesn't speculate further.
