iPhone Princess Plus: World’s Most Expensive iPhone

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

iphone_diamonds_2-thumb-450x300Admit it. Just like me, you’re just waiting for a diamond-studded iPhone to be released. Since Apple products are becoming a favorite of jewelers and the rich, a blinged-out iPhone did not surprise much. But still, the wow-factor is there when you first hear the price: $176,400. It’s more than expensive than the Softbank’s Tiffany phone we featured awhile back. (more…)

Coolest Mac Mod: The Mac Mini Pro

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Mac-Pro-Mini-1
It’s a Mac Mini…. it’s a Mac Pro! No, it’s a Mac Mini Pro! Looks like Hideo Takano can’t get enough of Steve Job’s Apple. He modified the Mac Mini into a Mac Pro to come up with the Mac Mini Pro. Brilliant!

The Mac Mini Pro measures 7.8″ tall and 3.28″ wide by 6.5″. This Mac mod boasts of a single USB port plus a power button aside from the Mac Mini hardware. A sliding enclosure keeps the hard drive from being seen. And if coming up with this mod is not enough, dear Mr. Takano even wrote down a do-it-yourself guide. Thing is, the tutorial is in Japanese so good luck with having your own Mac Mini Pro.

Elan Form: Cork Coat for the iPhone

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

elanform_1Even if the prices of iPods and iPhone are rumored to drop soon, I have not stopped looking for a nice case to carry my future iPhone. This time, I am not looking for any pink case or blinged out accessory because they already make me dizzy. And I’ve learned my lesson: not because it’s cute, it’s always reliable.

I might get the cork coat Elan Form iPhone case because it will hold the phone just right. It protects the iPhone on two layers and with hard-shell polycarbonate. Sure it doesn’t look attractive and people may mistake it for a cork board but such high-tech phone needs all protection in the world. So forget about how it looks. Besides, it’s from Griffin.

Friday, January 25th, 2008

基座式娱乐系统:为那些无药可救的辣汤钟爱人士多身定做

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

我很难相像做菜不用很多辣会变成什么样子。首先,如果我让我做的菜辣一点的话,吃起来会更加有味;其次,当我在放咖喱或者番茄酱时,让我的ipod放放音乐,这样我的菜会更加好吃的。
所以,对于那些像我那样的调料浪费大王,这个基座式的娱乐系统可谓是一个理想的礼物。把它放到橱柜里去,让它播放你ipod里面的音乐,来自于DVD的或者甚至是有线电视娱乐节目。是不是很棒?还有一个好消息,如果你总是因为看电视而忘记替你劳累了一天的老公做他喜欢喝的汤,从而被你的婆婆责备的时候,这个基座还有一个做饭定时器和时钟。所以它看上去真的很光彩照人,让你得到休息的同时可以使你的厨房看上去更棒。

Diamond studded earphones: For the “brainlessly” rich

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I always wonder what the rich do with the truckloads of money they got, coz I don’t see the world becoming a little less poorer or more happier anyway, so they’re obviously not donating or serving mankind. But when I step upon gadgets like these, I know where all the cash is getting flushed down.

What we have here is the iDiamond earphones for $6,400. I don’t see it serving your ears any extra-ordinary, nor do I see anyone wearing it all the time like a pair of earrings, so I wonder what’s the point of such a gadget, and whether someone actually buys them. (more…)
