The Best of all Possible Wars by Larry Niven:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

Enjoyable collection of stories about the conflict that errupted between humans and the Kzin, which are kind of like a cross between an eight foot tall football lineman weighing 500 pounds and a tiger. The Kzin don't know how to surrender or strategize; they find the upright apes of Earth very unsettling opponents. Select an invention:

Boob Cube - 3D TV is no better
Device for showing three-dimensional news broadcasts.

Dime Disk - data storage
A very small data storage medium.

Monobloc Dating System - advanced dating software
A kind of pub with unique hardware and software for computer dating.
