Teen sees apartment as a parking place and crashes his BMW M3

2008-07-23T13:17:25Z

The brutality in car crashes is often looked upon as tragic, sad and gloomy. But when dimwits get going in super expensive cars and end up crashing them then there’s just one thing to do. Make sure that you rip their reputation to the lowest level you can think of. How about this chap for instance. 19 years old, steering wheel in hand, two pals by his side and a sexy BMW M3 at his disposal. What does he do? Simple, crashes the beauty into someone’s apartment and this time it’s not to say hello. No, this isn't the dumbest part yet. The moron and his cronies fled the scene with a glimmer of hope that they may get away with it. I haven’t forgiven old enemies as yet but when it comes to a smashed up BMW M3 then I have little of a Christian fortitude left it me. Son of a *****!]]> Description of the accident from one of the passengers: crazy ****ing night....so my girlfriend had a kickback last night at her house. an hour after i arrive a kid in a brand new 08 m3 shows up...car doesnt even have 1000 miles on it yet...so me and 2 others decide to go for a little ride in it...car was ridiculously loud and fast....so we go up and down a hill a few times to warm the car up...then the genius decides to put it in M mode....he floores it up the hill...****ing fastest **** ever...then he loses control...hopes a curb...car turns sideways...and we end up in someones front yard...everyone walked out though thank god...i think my thumb is broken and i have a bruise on my collar bone from the seat belt.

Zero-Gee Workstation prevents you from work

2008-07-23T10:50:44Z

The chair that I found online is ironically desirable. The Zero-Gee Ergonomic workstation is the kind of thing I’d prefer to have when I have inevitable office work to do on a (ruined) pleasant vacation. To describe it in few words, its downright comfort service packing in a computer monitor, keyboard and a swing out tray to place your snacks and drinks. The only thing it fails to include is a Loo, which I think, is a function capable of being performed by a little physical strain of getting your ass up the chair.]]> Source

Russo and Steele put 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV/J under hammer

2008-07-22T14:17:11Z

Heard of the Lamborghini Miura Jota of the SV/J line of cars? Sometime in the mid 90s the car made its entry into the mainstream of super cars. It is equipped with a light body, a split sump engine and Megaphono exhaust pipes (for crying out loud!). What’s sad is that there was just one such car that was built and what’s sadder is that it was burnt after a crash. Now, as on would expect, automobile fanatics wanted the car revived from its fiery end and that’s exactly what Lamborghini did to oblige them. There will be six such cars made with the Jota body.]]> Source

3G iPhone bidding touches $1000

2008-07-22T14:10:31Z

Well the tension is swelling up as the race for the next best thing on gadget blogs is taking shape. Here’s to the ever publicized 3G version of the iPhone. The phone that was launched on 11th July already has a sales figure that shows more that a million pieces sold till date. The bidding for the 16GB version of the 3G iPhone on eBay has exceeded $1000 while that of the 8GB version has touched the $800-$900 range. With scary stories like that of the iPhone being shipped to a bidder in a nation that doesn’t have the iPhone released as yet, the only thing one can foresee is a blinding rush that can end up in shortage of the same.]]> Source

Goldmund U-32 Processor adds an audio treat

2008-07-22T14:00:04Z

Finally we have something to give a new touch of heavenly sound to places where it is most needed, for instance: movie theaters. The Goldmund U-32 Processor is blessed with some digital signal processors that are fifty times as powerful as their conventional ones. It can add a massive bonus to the listening appearance to each of the viewers in the hall by providing the sound of more than one speaker to each single viewer. The technology achieves this by simply allowing infinite number of channels to be made that can bring out the best of every bit of music that flows out of it.]]> GOLDMUND INTRODUCES NEW PROCESSOR CAPABLE OF EXTENDING TO AN INFINITE NUMBER OF CHANNELS The New Goldmund U-32 Processor Makes a Goldmund Media Room Fit for 50 a Reality Los Angeles, July 21, 2008: Goldmund, makers of the world’s most extravagant and technologically advanced systems for audio-video purists, announced today the creation of a new processor, the Goldmund U-32, which is capable of extending to an infinite number of discrete channels. Goldmund, the same company that took the groundbreaking approach of using multi-channel processors with up to 32 channels, an innovation required to create the ultimate home theater experience, the Goldmund Media Room, have delivered a processor capable of reaching an unlimited number of channels. The Goldmund U-32 was created to meet the demands of Goldmund clients looking to build larger media rooms that can seat up to 50 guests. The new Goldmund U-32 Processor includes a set of high-power digital signal processors (DSP) capable of more than 50 times the strength of its predecessors. When paired with the recently announced U-Telos family of amplifiers, which is capable of achieving an ideal crossover for the associated speaker with full time delay correction and a signal measurement feature to control the protection of each driver it operates, the Goldmund U-32 can reach an infinite number of discreet channels, which is necessary to properly reproduce extreme surround-sound accuracy in a very large Goldmund Media Room. The U-32 is ideal for bringing the Goldmund Media Room technology into commercial screening rooms, hotels and resort settings. Goldmund Media Rooms using the new Goldmund U-32 Processor will provide perfect seamless surround sound by enveloping each individual user with a higher than usual number of speakers, each being smaller and less expensive, each non-audible separately, but together capable of providing each user with sound levels up to 130dB at all frequencies. “Our clients have increasingly been requesting that we go bigger than Goldmund has ever gone before,” said Michel Reverchon, president of Goldmund. “Now with the new Goldmund U-32 processor, there is unlimited potential as to how far we can take the perfection of the Goldmund Media Room.” Additional information can be accessed by visiting the Goldmund website at www.goldmund.com.

Super stylish Sony Sountina

2008-07-22T13:35:22Z

Some people like to go for the minimalist style, and while that is understandable I prefer something more in your face. That being said, even I cannot resist the ultra stylish design of Sony Sountina. The speaker system is six feet tall and it is made from glass with cylindrical speakers. This design is pure class. The speakers throw out sound in a 360 degree circle which means that no matter where you are, the sound quality won't be compromised. A feature I am smitten by is the interior lighting that switches between blue, amber and purple. It sure is pretty. ]]> Source

Visionaire to rip you off your $150,000 for first 50 issues!

2008-07-22T12:44:19Z

Reading is a very good hobby, at least better than being a couch potato. But never would you have thought that your reading habits ( reading fashion magazines is also reading guys!) could cost you a bomb that would annihilate your pocket. $150,000. Yes, that's how much Visionaire magazine is charging for a special Goyard trunk designed for its collectors and also offers 10 complete sets of its first 50 issues in the Goyard trunks. It makes me laugh considering that Visionaire's individual issues are typically priced between $150 and $350. So even if you buy 50 of those they shouldn't cost you more than $7500 to $17500. I guess that's the price you pay for antiquity. The lofty price tag for a collection of "magazines" is the result of multiple factors, including Visionaire's increasing collectability, as well as trends in the luxury goods market, which continues to hit ever-higher price points.]]> Source

The Persempre modern wall mount vanity from Qin...Golden Gorgeousness.

2008-07-22T12:35:18Z

A luxurious home requires a luxurious everything. Bathroom included. The Persempre modern wall mount vanity from Qin fits the bill perfectly and it really cant get any better than this. The shape, colour, styling everything is just what the doctor (or interior designer) ordered. Topped with a glass surface and either an integrated sink or a free-standing basin, the Persempre look exudes class. Small details personalize the vanity, whether you prefer a handle attached to the front of the vanity - which can also be used for a hand towel - or if you’d like to slightly extend the surface of the glass top to include a rail for towels, it’s your choice.]]> Source

Personal Submarines the latest fad amongst the rich

2008-07-22T10:41:11Z

After all the terrible devastation that submarines have been used for down the ages, we have this bright new idea by U.S. Submarines. Their new submarine, The Triton Model 1000 is capable of taking you into the blue depth of the oceans 1000 feet below the surface. It can stay at that depth for six hours and explore all that you had seen in artificial aquariums and marinas, just that this time you will get a view for real. I feel that it can make a perfect honeymoon trip for an adventurous couple who have already been through rock climbing and space traveling.]]> Source

Aqua submersible watercraft

2008-07-22T10:34:52Z

With the traffic going crazy and everyone concentrating on the high skies, two University of Seoul student designers Sungchul Yang and Woonghee Han are planning on exploiting the other mode-water. Now I know boats have been around for centuries, but what these boys are trying to provide is a novel way of individual transport. The Aqua submersible watercraft is a one-person craft that is capable of skimming the waters as well as plunging deep beneath. Sporting a dolphin like shape, this design won the 2008 Silver Idea Design Award. The design theoretically is a consequence of apt study pertaining to buoyancy control, oxygen supply and driver protection from the unrelenting water pressure. Source

Parajet Skycar: Dreaming about flying cars still?

2008-07-22T07:11:01Z

Built at this year's Goodwood Speed Festival, the Parajet Skycar has all it takes to keep you air bound while still driving! The car has a steel frame and uses carbon fiber to reduce the overall weight of the body. It runs on biodiesel and uses the engine of a Yamaha R1 1000cc motorcycle. That's a total power of 140 hp. You can convert the vehicle from a speed buggy to a gliding vehicle in just three minutes. With a run-up of just 200 meters, the vehicle can take flight. This doesn't exactly fit the bill of a flying car but one thing's for sure, gliding isn't all that boring an experience either plus it ensures safety.]]> Newlaunches

BMW 7-Series Unveiled in Moscow

2008-07-22T06:48:41Z

BMW know how to give their cars the position of honor and a status of a king. With their latest model of the 7-Series in line of production, the company has gleefully put the car up on a pedestal that's better than any other that I have seen yet. It was placed in a sexy glass and acrylic hourglass that was filled with 180,000 silver balls. This entire setup was hoisted to a height of 40 feet above the ground so that everyone could feast their eyes on the car itself and the magnificent encasing that it was placed in.]]> The BMW 7-Series was released right in front of Kremlin that's at the Red Square in Moscow.
