I've used toilets from the 1950's from the looks of it. These toilets still take about 2-5 seconds to flush once the water drops to a level where the floater can...well float. Again nowhere near the 10 seconds or so suggested by the article. But lets be honest here. Its a blog. Which was probably written in aprox the same amount of time it takes to flush a faulty toilet, so I'm not suprised that there are exaggerations in it. Engadget's bloggers have a solid history of pulling stuff out of....thin air for their posts. *shrugs* Whatever.
