Zipcam was a prototype digital camera shown at Comdex 1999 by Iomega (Iomega Labs) that used 100 MB Zip disks. The 2.1 megapixel camera had a body that was a bit larger than a 100 MB Zip Drive, with a larger lens housing on one side. It had Iomega Labs, 2.1 Megapixels, and ZipCam logos written on the front.

There were other digital cameras that used disk storage as memory media.
*Panasonic PV-SD4090, a digital camera that used SuperDisk (LS120).
*Sony Mavica (A whole camera line that used 3.5" floppy or CDR/RW media)
* Used Iomega's PocketZip disk technology

Infinity Over Zero: Meditations on Maximum Velocity is the first feature length book by Cole Coonce. Part literary journalism and part historical novel, the 2002 book describes, in first and third person, the history of the Land Speed Record and the pursuit of breaking the sound barrier in an automobile. The non-linear account is punctuated by numerous philosophical discussions (many of them on manifest destiny and the nature of infinity) which the author suggests may be a potential portal to a parallel universe.
Although tracing the history of the Land Speed Record from its inception in the 19th century, the preponderance of the manuscript deals with the sport's activity in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s; as metaphor, the book chronicles the tragic death in 1962 at the Bonneville Salt Flats of driver Glen Leasher in the Infinity land speed racer, and the author's search in the Year 2000 for the remains of the disintegrated vehicle in a Wendover, Utah junkyard.
Concurrent to the book's search for "Infinity," Coonce also meticulously documents the epic and death-defying battles in the 1960s between Art Arfons and Craig Breedlove who traded claims of the fastest man on the planet in their jet-powered racers. (Breedlove being that decade's ultimate victor after becoming the first man to travel , and .)
After extensive interviews with the builders of the Blue Flame rocket car and its triumphs and travails in claiming the Land Speed Record in 1970, the book culminates in a first person account of the 1997 battle for the first supersonic LSR between Breedlove and Andy Green in Richard Noble's Thrust SSC. When Green ultimately punctured the sound barrier at to claim the first and only verifiable supersonic Land Speed Record, Coonce likened the moment to Creation, a metaphysical phenomenon in automotive history that could be mathematically expressed as "Infinity Over Zero."

Cole Coonce (born 1961) is an author and drag strip journalist.
After sundry odd-jobs, Coonce started writing with automotive and drag racing magazines, including Super Stock & Drag Illustrated and HOT ROD MAGAZINE.
Among his more popular works are "Remember the Surfers," which chronicles the madcap travails, triumphs and tragedies of "the Surfers," a beatnik drag racing team from the 1960s; "Have Nitro, Will Travel," a travelogue written on the road with the poverty-stricken Top Fuel dragster driver, ; and the feature length book "Infinity Over Zero," a history of the land speed record that has been compared to both Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff.
In 2001, he was honored by the Goodguys Vintage Racing Association for "Outstanding Journalistic Vision."
In 2004, he won the Los Angeles Press Club's Best Sport Feature Award for "VIVA LA NITRO!" a cover story for Los Angeles CityBeat that re-lived the sojourn of Tony Pedregon, a Chicano racer as he won a professional drag racing points title.
Following the publication of VIVA LA NITRO!, Coonce branched out into covering and critiquing the fields of pop culture and rock music, which lead to the publication of his second feature length book, "Come Down from the Hills and Make My Baby," which is billed as "a book to curl up on someone's sofa with a warm crack pipe and enjoy."

Criteria for a comics spin-off
Before a comic can be considered a spin-off, it has to match the following criteria:
*It cannot be a remake of a pre-existing series. A common example would be the re-imagining of DC Comics Silver Age from their Golden Age counterparts.
*When a series undergoes a name change, its successor is considered a spin-off from the original series. For example, Scarlet Spider is considered a spin-off from Spider-Man.
*"True Spin-Offs" are spin-offs that take established characters from one comic book and give them their own book or series (e.g. Silver Surfer from Fantastic Four). "Engineered Spin-Offs" are spin-offs that introduce a character to one comic just so that that character can anchor a new series, an example being the Thunderbolts spinning out of The Hulk. Series such as Young Avengers which have no immediate connection to previous series but are still known to exist within the same fictional sphere are called "Franchise Spin-Offs".
