foolZONE Special Reports for April 1, 2006

Word Workshop, developers of online and electronic dictionaries, word lists, and other linguistic tools for the digital age has introduced GeekSpeak 1.0, a technical dictionary designed specifically to be accessed via Internet-enabled cell phones and PDAs. "Now it is possible to read all of the analogZONE product reviews and actually understand them!" says Earl (Stolidus Blattus) Muttonchops Ph. Ol., CEO of Word Workshop.

The service provides concise, English-like translations of over 20,000 technical terms, buzzwords, and acronyms commonly used in the electronics industry which can be stored locally and updated via RSS feeds for cell phones, or accessed directly from the GeekSpeak website, "It's an Instant Look-up Dictionary (ILUD) for all those terms that you have been pretending to know," continued Muttonchops. "Our patented user interface (illustrated) is easy enough for even a marketing manager to use and allows you to surreptitiously look up any word or acronym without the other engineers catching on. For a fee, you will even be able to hear the term pronounced through your headset."

The dictionary, built by Word Workshop -- a new division of Acme Vaporware -- is based on the entire text of the authoritative book Reference Data for Electrical Engineers, 9th Edition, a comprehensive overview of all aspects touched upon by the analogZONE reviews. This service will be available starting April 30th. Pease contact Lee Goldberg to sign up.
