Internet mogul puts Lamborghini and 6-bedroom house on sale

The Internet has made a number of people millionaires, and Rick Hill is one of them. At 30, he has made enough money to own a six-bedroom home in Church Road, Hockley, and also a Lamborghini Gallardo. However, with enough money in a fat bank account he has decided to retire and quit the rat race. What’s more, his 6-bedroom house and the Lamborghini I just spoke about are on sale, for he wants to just relax and savor languorous moments for the rest of his life. The gorgeous lawns in front of the stately house and an idyllic setting are in fact worth more than the house and the car themselves! Any sane person worth a million pounds would definitely find the deal attractive. The house has all the modern amenities and comes with a conservatory, indoor swimming pool, gym and, of course, a game room. The house and the car package is being sold at a price of £1,150,000. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/internet-mogul-sells-lamborghini-and-6-bedroom-house/

Hermes and Didier launch H Box, the nomadic artcraft

Art has usually been unavailable to people isolated from urban centers. We are talking about high art, which gets showcased only in major world capitals. On this note, fashion brand Hermes and architect Didier Fiuza Faustino have unveiled an artcraft, the H Box. This high-art mobile museum is a nomadic object, which was inspired by 1970s spacecrafts. Inside the H Box one could watch art movies and avant garde productions by chic and noir directors and producers such as Su-Mei Tse, Yael Bartana, Dora García, Judit Kúrtag, etc. The H Box is flexible enough to travel around the world, figuratively of course, and the next stop seems to be Yokohama, Japan. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/hermes-and-didier-launch-h-box-the-nomadic-artcraft/

The Modern Alchemist: Giving your Saloon the Midas Touch

The literariness defines “alchemy” as an entirely different domain, but for the rich who like adorning their high-priced cars with a Midas touch, Alchemist would just the company to help them conquer their dream. The Prestige and Performance Motor Show, MPH London sees many of the big names from the opulent world showcasing their cars in an extravaganza where the rich flaunt their wealth with a candid attitude. The same affair would showcase the brilliance of the Alchemist from the motoring world which would bring to the floor a 24 karat gold plated Aston Martin DBS with a platinum leaf. The MPH would showcase big and grand cars from the Ferraris to the Maseratis but the gold-plated Aston Martin DBS would make for an entirely different entity. The brainchild of a Frenchman residing in London, Alchemist purely specializes in endowing every car roof with a Midas touch and thus makes the rich happy. After the event one would recognize Jacques Blanc as an alchemist for the rich, who just turns every car he touches to gold.

Certus brings back the magic of turntables

With the influx of iPods and Wii and other such jazz, people still find beauty in nostalgia. The old gramophone that played discs sounds like a romantic dream of a distant era.

Enjoy the virtual world with the Interactive Scape

We recently wrote about a projection interactive table, Catchyoo iTable, where I lauded its interactivity, as well as its superiority to fixed interactive tables. Therefore, when I saw the Interactive Scape, the comparisons naturally continued, and I examined this new fixed interactive table to see how functional it is, as well as how it stacks against the iTable. I am pleased to announce that the Interactive Scape is an excellent interactive table. It performs just as well as the Microsoft Surface, except with a much larger surface (compare 58in with 30in), giving more room for group interaction. Just like the Microsoft Surface, it communicates with other devices using bluetooth and wireless interface. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/slide-and-manipulate-images-with-your-fingers-all-on-interactive-scape/

Top 10 high-tech Treadmills : Fitness meets Fantasy

Though my local gym doesn’t house any of these high-tech treadmills, I dare to dream of running on one of those that are a far cry from the older generation kinds. It’s a fact that Treadmills burn more calories than any other piece of fitness equipment. Though the opinion may differ from person to person, there simply isn’t a more effective cardiovascular workout. Besides scoring the highest in the calorie-burning column, the healthy benefits of walking and running cannot be ignored too. But who wants to run like a moron on a rubber belt without being surrounded by some entertaining features like a LCD, iPod dock or an integrated music player. Even the geeks can burn calories with a few of them fitted with computer.

Nautilus is an innovative bathroom design concept that aims to encourage relaxation, taking advantage of the latest in technology. Designed by Sandra de Miguel, Xavier Arbones, Alvaro Bermudez and Marta Fernández, the Nautilus bath with fine form factor tries to change the traditional concept of the bathroom.

You can therefore use the same water as many times as you want for relaxing until you decide that you want to submerge yourself within the water. The taps work with the latest in tactile technology and the wardrobe mechanisms use infrared sensors. Cool take on the bathroom design, but sadly, we know that most of such concepts remain a concept only.

World’s largest and most expensive cruise ship is waiting to hit the seas

If there is any superlative term following large, larger largest..., then I could use it for the world’s largest cruise liner in line. Christened as the Project Genesis cruise liner, Royal Caribbean is busy erecting this 1,180 feet long water mammoth. Weighing heavy at 220,000 tons and costing more heavier at $1.24 billion, this ship is touted to be the world’s costliest ship too. So being the widest, longest, tallest, largest and the costliest doesn’t leave any room for more exceptional features. The rest of all will get shadowed by these facts only. Believed to be 43 percent larger than the Queen Elizabeth II, it can easily accommodate 5,400 sea lovers. It can squeeze 6,400 under Sardine Conditions. Although I don’t it will be any different then being on a foreign land as this over sized vessel houses a Central Park - a public garden that’s the size of a football field in the middle, AquaTheater - a gigantic amphitheatre, and seven different “neighborhoods” that people will stay on. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/project-genesis-world-s-largest-cruise-ship-is-waiting-to-hit-the-seas/

This forms the center of a nomad’s creativity and passion. A yurt is a wonderful shedworking space and the Nomad Yurt from Ecoshack is especially apt for small sized back garden spaces. The Yurt has a modular base which makes portability a lot easier. There is even a central vent which is left open for sunlight and the cool, calm breeze to enter. Ecoshack’s sales pitch indeed is apt and it reads ‘Circular living = good living.’ More than the convenience and beauty it creates for the owner, one can truly appreciate the Nomad Yurt a lot more if they understand the amount of patience and time required for the crafting of one yurt.As much as the Nomad Yurt is a practical and functional home, the creation of the yurt is intricately intertwined with survival. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/find-a-home-in-nature-nomad-yurt/

Meridian readies high-definition MF10 video projector

The name Meridian speaks of exquisite engineering and elegant style. The company has already impressed us with the $20,000 DVD player, Ferrari F80 audio system, and lately the DSP7200 loudspeakers. The latest product to carry the brand’s legacy forth is the high-definition video projector, the MF10. Inspired from the award-winning MF1, the new MF10 video projector utilizes the latest-generation D-ILA light-engine technology, in a maximum performance three-chip 1080p array. Based on an all-new 0.7-inch DILA device, the MF10’s advanced optical package makes for a significant reduction in stray light and thereby delivering great black levels, in excess of 30,000:1 native contrast ratio, without the use of a servo iris. The upshot is film-like textures and depth, and a terrific cinematic visual experience. Another feather to the wings is the projector’s outstandingly accurate, 16-element, all-glass lens that guarantees sharp, fully-focused imaging across the entire screen, edge to edge and top to bottom. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/meridian-readies-high-definition-mf10-video-projector/

Elevate yourself with the Inclinator LX home elevator

Now, to have a big home, you need a stash of cash, and for a home big enough to have the Inclinator’s new elevator in it, you again need to have a bigger stash of cash. The Inclinator company, which invented the home elevator in 1928, Pun very much intended, makes elevators for homes, Big Homes, and has just announced the latest and the most advanced elevator for homes in the Inclinator LX at this year’s International Builder’s show at Orlando,Florida. The cheesy name Inclinator, itself looks a bad marketing ploy to get buyers inclined towards this. Getting down, or rather up to the elevator itself, the Inclinator LX comes with a gearless traction motor which doesn’t use gear oil of any kind thus making it eco friendly, at least to a certain extent. The gearless motor also ensures a very smooth operation, a far cry from the clunks and clangs of older elevators.

After 5 Years, When Will Microsoft Touchscreen Available ?

Well, after announcing it 5 years ago, Microsoft still not launch this product just yet. People are getting bored in expecting this technology. Microsoft also feels the same thing. Steve Ballmer said that they’re “going to follow our nose” and put it to the grindstone to get a consumer version of its Surface touch computer out to your local Best Buy sooner, rather than way later after a total project re-boot with five different versions and horrible driver support. Good news, huh ? from.http://www.tuvie.com/after-5-years-when-will-microsoft-touchscreen-available

Polaroid’s digital frame to carry on instant film legacy?

For all of you out there who have a lifetime’s worth of memories on Polaroids, the firm’s announcement of shutting down its instant film production seems as shocking as the loss of a loved one. The company has already announced that they are manufacturing just enough film to last through 2009 before they close down the factories. But I guess the company will give its faithful customers a goodbye present in the form of a digital frame that will allow users to view images saved on memory cards in ‘Standard’ mode, which is regular digiframe view, and ‘Classic’ mode which lest you see your pictures as if they were taken on instant film! What’s also very cool about this new frame is that the images take over a minute to fade into view so you’re always curious what photo is coming up next (which might be a great game when you’re stoned!). And since the frame also features a hole for a pushpin, you’ll never miss those old stick-it-on-the-corkboard Polaroids. The frame’s rechargeable battery allows you to do away with the annoying cord while the dry erase surface on the bottom of the frame lets you write your custom message for the slideshow, just like the good old days! Which only makes me wonder if the Polaroid will make a grand comeback as one of the greatest retro must-haves of all times. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/polaroid-s-digital-frame-to-carry-on-instant-film-legacy/

LED Christmas Lights

LED Christmas lights use 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They are also brighter, less prone to breaking, and cool to the touch.

You can find LED Christmas lights at Amazon. You can also find some snowflake-shaped and color-changing Christmas LEDs from Environmental Bulbs. from.http://www.metaefficient.com/leds/led-christmas-lights.html
