Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus' Launched in the Netherlands
Earlier this year, it was revealed that French designer Philippe Starck was working with Dutch shipbuilder Feadship on a new yacht for the family of Steve Jobs. The yacht had been mentioned in Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs as a project he had been working on since 2009, but the ship was not completed before his death last year.
Dutch site One More Thing now reports [Google translation] that the ship, christened "Venus", has officially launched, with Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs and their three children participating in the event.

The aluminum-hulled ship is said to be 70-80 meters in length and features seven 27-inch iMacs lined up in the wheelhouse to help run the controls.

I don't think so, the 27 in models are not coming out until December.
Yeah, like the Jobs family couldn't get access to prototypes.

Awful. It's typical Starck nonsense. Really surprised that he was picked by Jobs. As a designer he's the anthesis of Ives.

Do they have it in a size that'd fit in my house?
My house would fit in that yacht!

That's a nice looking yacht.
Plus, nice use of iMacs.
You think so? Looks fugly to me.
It's like some kid designed a "fan version" of an Apple Yacht. Even the iMacs look like they were put there as some kind of joke.
