Steve Jobs New Boat, so Big They Aren't Sure How Big it Actually Is
At least it blends in well with the factory behind it
According to the report, the enormous yacht is between 230 and 260 feet long

Wow, that'e even uglier than the Robert's "world cruiser". So that's what an i-boat looks like. Hmmmm, i-puke.

It bears an uncanny resemblence to the WW1 dreadnoughts. Seriously!--compare some photos.

Sure does. I normally can't bear any sort of "eurostyle" on a boat, slanted windows make me wanna puke. But for some reason I kinda like this. Also looks like some versions of Nemo's "Nautilus". It's all straight lines and angles, very different. I bet the interior is super cool. I could do without the pagoda effect of the superstructure though.

At least the boats operating system is less likely to crash.

A bit like modern buildings fantastic inside but confusing/fugly outside.
Thought these people tried to blend in when on holidays this creation will be noted anywhere!
Bet there are no paper charts on board!
