I was just waiting for a blinged out MacBook Air. And now, just more than a month after its release, Crystalcing puts some weight to the very thin and very light MacBook Air.
This “crystallized” MacBook Air was added with an extra 1/2 pound of Swarovski Crystals. Even if it is 1/8 inch thicker than the naked Air, Read more

Well, there are expensive things and expensive things. Looking at a story in today’s New York Times certainly makes you wonder why the heck someone would spend $20,000 on a simple cup of Coffee. The story is far more complicated the The coffee masters at the Japanese siphon bar at the Blue Bottle Café in San Francisco might tell you. However, the bottomline is a fairly simple: cup of coffee is a cup of coffee …

Aptera Typ1: Get 300mpg from a $30.000 Hybrid

California is now in the green race of America and is here to give Detroit a piece of their medicine. Aptera, a Carlsbad, CA-based company is out with a car (not practically a car as it has three wheels); I should say a transport vehicle that gives a whooping 3-0-0-Miles-Per-Gallon. We sure think it is just a concept car or a vehicle and we see things like these all the time. NO. This has been driven and practically tested; it is a hybrid (I will compromise on that), but even then it is six times times more than a Prius. Read more
EuriCase: Hi-Tech Way to Propose

It has been more than a month since I got engaged and I could still remember how I felt. Obviously surprised and happy but it was more of dazed. My dream proposal did not happen but I was equally happy. I got a diamond ring on my finger now and am set to marry early next year. Sometimes I wish my fiancee could have exerted more effort like in a techie way since I’m a gadget girl. I once thought it would be nice if he proposes through my website. Log in and create and entry so the next time I check it out, I’d read “the question” or whatever. He could have made a short film or music for me. But there’s no point of ranting, the proposal has happened much to my amusement and yes, giddiness. But he can still do it right? Propose and give me a more expensive ring and put it in very nice and hi-tech ring box like the Euricase Read more$1,180 Gold iPod Touch: Not just another blinged gadget …

Blinged products are in. Well, not exactly…but there is a market for anything pink, gold, and studded. Every week, a new item is added to the list of blinged up gadgets in the world. Now comes the Gold iPod Touch from the Golden Store. Not that it’s a more surprising news. The gadget girls and the rest of the world are just waiting for a gold version to be released.
No Apple iPod Touch features were added to this model, only it was plated in 24 karat Gold. Obviously, the price for the 8 GB and 16 GB models are far from Steve Job’s suggested retail price. The 8GB is available for 600 Euro, that’s a little less than $900 while the higher model costs 800 Euro($1,180).
Are there people really buying golden gadgets? I have yet to see someone carrying one and attracting thieves.
MB 101 Xtreme: The $180,000 Home Theater

Welcome to the world of Rich Audiophiles. There is always that extreme part of the market which is out of the reach for 99% of the people. You have to change your mind about the Corvette and the Porsche you were buying for your garage to have this addition to your Home Theater, or if you already have those in the garage and many more and are tired of splurging on the wheels, here’s something else that would love your greens. This is the way to go, MB 101 Xtreme, with their totally hot and exclusive omni-directional technology. They sure are stacked with four 12″ sub woofers to rattle your bones. If you later think about the car then I would like to tell you that this is also composed of the basic elements I mean the earth, water, wind and fire of sports cars,.i.e. Steel, Aluminium, Carbon Fiber and Wood. All this time I have been talking about extreme, so how can I not mention it’s price which is also ofcourse one of a kind, at $180,000. It takes a month to build this made to order speakers. Oh c’mon, Mr.Moneybags, it’s a far shorter wait than your Ferrari which takes 6 months to be at your disposal.Via audiojunkies / Gizmonistas.com
Louis Vuitton USB Flash Drive: Total Bling
Posted on November 26, 2007
Filed Under DeLuxeNews | 1 Comment
Louis Vuitton, home of luxury leather luggage from a French designer, will soon be releasing a USB flash drive for the fashionable geeks. No word on the price yet but I think this is the closes I can get to owning an LV. Or so I think. I am expecting that will cost more that the price of an ordinary laptop simply because it’s Louis Vuitton. The luxury USB flashdrive is designed by Fred de Garilhe and will be available in yellow or white gold. There will be 4 variations to this fashionable gadget :
- White gold and LV logos with digital clock, yellow diamond on white gold key
- White gold, ostrich leather, yellow gold chain and key, blue sapphire diamond
- White gold satin polished finish, white gold chain and key, pink sapphire diamond
- White gold, black alligator leather, black PVD treatment on white gold (chemical pulverize on it), mechanical clock that you can arm behind the US Bijou, and a green sapphire diamond
Adding total more ‘wow’ factor is its 40Gb of memory space. Now that’s impressive. Question is : will hardcore geeks and fashionistas dig this? No. Just make that : what will fashionista and LV fans make use of 40GB of USB? (ReBu)
