Posted in iPad by Conner Flynn on March 21st, 2011

Behold, the iPad2 Gold History edition. Asin, your money is history. It was as usual, designed and crafted by Stuart Hughes in Liverpool UK. It is encrusted with 16.5 cts of ‘I’F’ flawless diamonds, 53 individually set sparkling gems, a solid 24ct Apple logo and the rear section produced again in 24ct gold.

It weighs 2,000 grams and the front frame of this iPad is made from one of the oldest rocks in the world, the Ammolite, sourced from Canada and dating over 75 million years old. That’s not all, sections of a 65 million year old T-Rex dinosaur’s thigh bone has been splintered and then shaved into the Ammolite and finished off with a single cut 8.5ct flawless diamond inlaid in platinum and surrounded by 12 outer flawless diamonds.

Sony MDR-EX1000 Earphones are expensive

Posted in Sony by Conner Flynn on December 28th, 2010

The MDR-EX1000 is an Asia-only release, which comes with ultra large drivers of 16mm for superb sound reproduction. It also includes 10 different silicon earbuds for better fits. That should mean no more sore ears for any of us.

The 16mm drivers can inject 3-30,000Hz of audio awesomeness into your skull, which will wrap around your brain like a spiky nano-storm of audio-erotica. At least, I hope it’s that cool, because these babies cost $799. Better start saving.

Prada iPad Case is expensive, fugly

Posted in iPad accessories by Conner Flynn on November 16th, 2010

The latest overpriced case for your iPad comes from fashion whore Prada. The Prada Nylon iPad case comes in both red (rosso) and pink (peonia) and features the signature Prada triangle logo, with silver color hardware, padding, and an interior pocket.

None of that makes it worth anything close to it’s $420 asking price. Plus they are ugly. But if you absolutely need to follow the herd, they can be found at Neiman Marcus.

There is also Ethiopian sheepskin earcup pads. The Ultrasone Edition 10s will cost you $2,745. Crazy, I know. So if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, why not give them a try.

The usual downsides apply here. No flash support, non-replaceable battery, the very real certainty that you will be mugged and die, just to name a few. It’s covered with 11.43 carats of diamonds, graded G/H in color, VS2/SI1 in clarity etc.

Atmos 566 Clock is beautiful

Posted in Clocks by Conner Flynn on January 20th, 2010

We love unique clocks around here. This one is unique and then some. It looks like its from the future and may harness the power of a dying star inside. It’s from Jaeager-LeCoultre, designed by Marc Newson. Surely this clock can only be used by a Time-Lord, within a ship that’s larger on the inside.

There are only 76 of the Atmos 566s available, so its not just beautiful, it’s also outrageously expensive. Made from clear or blue Baccarat crystal, it tells the time and also displays a current sky map. It will cost you between $2,600 and $70,600.

Posted in iPhone by Conner Flynn on January 14th, 2010

So, you probably laid out $3.2 million for that sweet iPhone 3GS Supreme and you’ve been flashing it around town wondering when it would be kidnapped and ransomed back to you. Well, my foolish rich friend, you no longer own the most expensive iPhone ever.

That’s because the folks over at Stuart Hughes now have the iPhone 3GS Supreme Rose, which costs just a tad more. Your lunch money will get you an iPhone 3GS with a 7.5 carat single cut diamond centering the design, a platinum bezel, 18 carat rose gold, some diamonds and four 2.5 carat pink baguette diamonds.

Retro-tech Platinum table: Great idea, insane price

Posted in Furniture by Conner Flynn on January 12th, 2010

The Retro-tech Platinum table is a coffee table with a 22-inch monitor and a computer inside. The idea is that you hook the table up to your TV as a media center. Which is a pretty nifty idea. Especially for parties and get-togethers.

The problem is that it costs $4,850. You could do this yourself for hardly anything. It’s the sort of product that gets us all excited to put this in our livingroom and then sh*ts all over our carpet with it’s insane price. Oh well, someone will do a better version for far cheaper.

Kenwood SP0001 transparent speakers

Posted in Speakers by Conner Flynn on April 18th, 2009

Kenwood SP0001 transparent speakersLooking for a pair of speakers to impress your friends with? These Kenwood SP0001 transparent speakers should do the trick. Maybe. I’m not sure. They’re cool, but something about them is very washer/dryer like. If you like transparent washers/dryers then this is gold.

They must look better than they sound however, with a disappointing 10Wx2ch, with 8Ω power, yet costing €765. It comes with a matching pair of stands with white and blue LEDs.

New Microsoft ad cuts to the heart of the issue

Posted in Microsoft by Conner Flynn on March 29th, 2009

Video: Laptop Hunters $1000 – Lauren Gets an HP Pavilion
The ongoing war between Microsoft & Apple continues. In this new ad, Microsoft exploits Apple’s Achilles heel, being outrageously overpriced. It’s a brilliant ad that hits them right where it hurts. Because it’s true.

The ad shows a customer looking for a laptop for under a $1000. She searches both the Apple store and a conventional electronics store and finally settles on an HP laptop for under $700. Unlike their previous ads, this one works because it actually speaks to the consumer, and what matters to them. Getting a decent computer for a fair price.

GenevaSound creates largest sound bar, with largest price tagGenevaSound’s Home Theater system sound bar is the longest sound bar ever designed but it’s yet to be tested. The sound bar sports a 700-watt amplifier and seven speakers which include a 12-inch subwoofer.

All of that, with just 2.1 virtual surround sound. With those speakers and a $4000 price tag, I want 7.1 with a Blu-ray drive and a lot more. What this bar includes? A CD player, radio, and an iPod/iPhone dock to play all your favorite music when not watching TV.
