They write about FastShip - a 250 meters long water jet ship able to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 3 days. Speedy beast :-) It can also carry 10,000 tons of cargo." Note that this should all be couched in hypotheticals -- but I'd sure prefer to travel to Europe one day by boat than plane, and 2003 isn't that far from now.

  3. Not A Bat, Nor A Plane, But A Vertical Keyboard

    A reader who chose anonymity writes: "As usual ZZZ online was updated this Sunday. Nevertheless the issue number 67 contains quite unusual info about vertical keyboard. It is made by splitting normal keyboard into two parts and and rotating them by 90 degrees. The human imagination has no limits, vertical keyboard looks really weird." It also looks much comfier than most flat ones. Maybe that would make me learn to truly touch type, as well?

    Anonymous writes "ZZZ online is updated again, this time the issue number 66 is uploaded. Among other interesting info, it contains the description of several weird and useless products like digital frying pan, electronic fork, universal LCD remote control and so on. Actually, this is just another attempt to convince the consumers that they really need useless stuff. Nevertheless these devices are worth your attention, at least you'll have fun ;-)" Iron Chef Silicon Valley!

  6. Cool Cases: Armor or Arcade?

    Xmas · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the fun-for-the-holidays dept. · 45 comments
    It wouldn't be christmas without a couple of cool cases. An anonymous reader sent linkage to the 63rd issue of ZZZ online which has a ridiculously armored laptop. If thats not the right case for you, check out Arcade2000. I've been considering retrofitting an old game cabinet for a PC running an emulator, and stumbled upon it. At least its not as expensive as the armored case!
