Remember IBM's ThinkPad 701 with the butterfly keyboard? This isn't it, it's better... conceptually anyway. Instead of two halves of a keyboard magically jigsawing themselves together, Kohjinsha achieves a similar result with its DZ-series using a pair of 10.1-inch TFT displays with 1,024 x 600 pixel resolution (each) packed into an otherwise svelte 1.02 x 8.26 x 0.74~1.65 inches / 4.09 pounds (1.84 kg) portable. Best of all it's on sale now for ¥95,800 (about $1,110) with a Linux pre-load -- add another ¥5,000 (about $58) for 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. For that you get a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo with RS780MN chipset and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 3x USB, a 3-in-1 card reader, 1.3 megapixel webcam, 1GB memory (expandable to 4GB), and 160GB 5,4000 hard disk with claimed 4.5-hours "max" of battery power (1.1V, 5200mAh) -- likely far less in real-world usage. Ships worldwide ($60ish for US or €50ish for European delivery) in 3 weeks if you order today.

True Random Number Service

Web Widgets

This page shows the various widgets that are available for use with the true random number service RANDOM.ORG. All widgets use randomness generated with atmospheric noise.

 

Integer Widget

This widget can be put on any web page. It gives visitors to your site the possibility of generating true random numbers using RANDOM.ORG's Integer Generator without leaving your site. You can customize the widget with your own colours, choose your own text labels and set the available integer range. The Integer Widget Wizard will produce a snippet of HTML that you can put on your web page.

iGoogle Password String Generator

If you use iGoogle, then this widget (which Google calls a ‘gadget’) can be added to your iGoogle home page and help you generate random passwords using RANDOM.ORG's String Generator. While the passwords are fetched over a secure connection and are very hard to guess, it is still good practice not to trust others (including RANDOM.ORG) to generate your passwords when it's really important. Hence, don't use them for your online bank or PayPal.

Den True Random Number Generator könnte ich für meine nächste Verlosung einsetzen, nix mehr mit echter Glücksfee, alles nur noch virtuell. ;-)

こういうのを日本で売ればいいのに、と思うのであった。
ソフトバンクで言うPantoneシリーズ後継とか、ドコモの旧70xシリーズとして出せば結構いいんじゃないのって思う。
