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. Surprisingly, it has been only a few decades that the turntables were trounced by the tape, the tape by the CD and the CD by mp3 players. However, nothing can match the elegance and sophistication of a grand turntable wiped clean with a soft cloth and smelling of wood and metal. Certus Turntables come with the latest technology packed into the good old bulk of a record player. The Certus motor makes use of revolutionary applications of materials, which result in a music, experience that is simply out of this world. The Certus Turntable by Teres Audio is comes in two different models, the 460 and the 450. 460 has two armboards with the Gibraltar isolation stand and the 450 comes with everything available on 460 but the additional brass and hardwood base and the dual armboards. These satin coated brass beauties are best kept in your living room and enjoyed with a glass of red wine. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/certus-brings-back-the-magic-of-turntables/

Grill 'n' Table concept - Fire up the grill along with conversations

With the weekend just behind us, I’m sure many of our readers would have had a BBQ jamboree happening in their backyard or patio! Or even at the local park. But if you are interested in something more compact and space saving for your not-so-spacious house, then here is a concept conjured up by a group of students to promote the aluminum service sector in Quebec. If it makes it to the production stage then this Grill ‘n’ Table combi will be ideal to fix a self grill meal while adding an exotic touch to your outdoor space. This aluminum and wood patio furniture, with a double-function, built-in cooking system allows you to cook food at the table while having a lively conversation, and you can use it like a regular barbecue. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/grill-n-table-concept-fire-up-the-grill-along-with-conversations/

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. Sprint over to read through the list of Top 10 high-tech Treadmills- from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/top-10-high-tech-treadmills-fitness-meets-fantasy/

Mindboggling - A stylish coffee table that stores expensive wine


A coffee table is the first thing your guest would notice when he or she visits you. And if you have a sleek and stylish coffee table that doubles up as a wine storage space, you can’t but leave your guest admire your expensive tastes. Hence, Mike created ‘Mindboggling’ a coffee table with a wine theme and chose a purple hue for the colour. The table allows you to store your Chardonnays, Champagnes, Bordeaux and what not. The table also consumes very little space and yet offers a large storage area in it. The drawers surprise you with their hand-made dovetails and velvet-lined bottoms. Inside the shelf are six custom-made wineglass holders and a fancy wine bottle rack made from expensive ebony. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/mindboggling-a-stylish-coffee-table-that-stores-expensive-wine/
