I couldn’t have not posted this. It’s something you don’t see everyday - a toiled encrusted with swarvoski crystals. It’s creator Jemal Wright is planning to design an encrusted double slipper tub by spring of 2008. The toilet costs $75,000. Is this just me or is there really demand for such products? On the other hand if you want to show people how wealthy you are, why not put a really unnecessary and expensive thing in a place we all visit on a regular basis.
Boex 3D Creative Solutions have used an ordinary object to design a piece of furniture. The seat is made up of 1,600 pencil and what is really neat, is that you can removed any pencil and use it.

There are not many designs for light bulbs and that’s what Hulger decided to change. Here are the designs they came up with. Personally I never pay attention to the light bulb’s design. As long as it’s working I’m fine with it. Moreover, you can’t really see the design of a light bulb when it’s on. Nevertheless it’s good that people make new designs for it, they have really good ideas.
Who would have known that someone will come up with the idea of merging a computer with a piano. Well, not only someone came up with the idea, but he also made it and put his creation on eBay. It has a 26 inch Philips LCD HDTV monitor 6,8 GGH processor with OS Windows XP Media Center Edition, 1 GB RAM 500 GB hard drive. The “hull” of the computer is a 1904 Chickering Grand Piano. This computer/piano is one-of-a-kind and would make a great gift.

Saudi businessman Tarek bin Laden (Half brother of Osama Bin Laden) has signed a contract to buy this beauty. It’s the Aerion Supersonic Business Jet. The specs are amazing. It will do 1,5 Mach(that’s about 1141 Mph) and cross the Atlantic in 2 hours. Unlike the Concorde, Aerion and meets with environmental, sound and airport regulation and can land in most airports. It costs $80 million but now the Concorde is gone, and there will be no shortage in demand for this supersonic jet.

At first I didn’t know what to think of it, it looked liked a simply mask. Only when I saw more photos I understood that the whole mask was a straw. This is an awesome idea, and drinking through it is loads of fun.
