Coolest Restaurant Ever

This could well be the coolest restaurant ever! It is an undersea restaurant at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It costs $5 million and will only seat 14 people. This alone would be worth a trip to the Maldives!

The Muppets Do Bohemian Rhapsody

This is so funny that words can't do it justice!

A Box For My Tail

I took this very cool photo of Boo Boo this evening. He is so large that he even has a box for his tail :-)

Just Wrong!

This comes under the category of more money than common sense. Someone ruined a perfectly good Olympus E-P1 by covering it with Sworovski crystals.

This is just wrong!

Android And Chrome OS To Converge

According to Sergey Brin Android and the Chrome OS "will likely converge over time." Eric Schmidt added that it is too early to tell how the OSes will be used and it will just unfold as it goes along. This is the natural flow of open-source.

This will be very cool to watch.

Chrome OS Detailed

Google showcased their new operating system, Chrome, today. Google’s Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management and Matthew Papakipos, engineering director for Google Chrome OS, did a Chrome demonstration.

My favorite line in the entire presentation was "It just works." There is a novel notion for an OS that Microsoft seems to keep missing. The boys in Redmond must be in a full blown panic today.

New Christmas Idea

Not sure what to get that special someone for Christmas this year. From the people that brought you Baconnaise and bacon flavored popcorn comes bacon flavored envelopes.

New Casio G1

Casio just released a new rigid camera called the G1. This is basically the G-Shock version of a small digital camera. It will be exciting to see how this pans out. Casio used to make very good small cameras but their quality has suffered in the last 24 months or so.

Never rule Casio out!

Michael Jackson Melody

This guy is the new YouTube sensation. His name is Sam Tsui. In case you missed it, the video was put together of various clips of him doing the melody.

This Is Just Bad

The Microsoft Store employees break out in a dance, not something that they know how to do. Check out the skinny guy on the right side. He will forever have this dance on YouTube for his children and grandchildren to see.

Psystar Gone

It looks like U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup put perhaps the final nail in Psystar's coffin on Friday. The Judge stated that “Psystar has violated Apple’s exclusive reproduction right, distribution right, and right to create derivative works.”

Psystar had been violating Apple's OS X copyright by installing it on clones, a clear violation of the terms of use.

The Judge granted Apple's requested summary judgement, which you can believe that Psystar will never pay given their current financial situation.

The real back story is that there is a rumor that one of the PC manufacturers was funding the entire Psystar fiasco.

Water On The Moon

Last month NASA crashed a spacecraft on the moon to determine the presence of water. Today they announced that there is indeed a significant amount of water on the moon.

Ouch!

This guy Galveston, TX managed to drive his $2 million Bugatti Veyron into a salt water lagoon. I would love to hear this phone call to the insurance company.

World's Worst Alarm Clock

And you thought that your alarm clock was bad.

Windows 7 Eats Batteries

For those of you considering a new netbook with Windows 7 instead of XP, on average, the Windows 7 netbook will get 47 fewer minutes battery life.

Lum-Tec Bull45 A1

My new Lum-Tec Bull45 A1 finally arrived. It has been on order since May. This watch is pretty amazing. Mine is number 40 of 100. They are all hand built.

What an amazing watch. Thanks Chris!

Missing Luggage

Every wonder where your missing luggage went? Here is a story about a couple in Phoenix that stole over 1000 pieces of luggage from the airport.

The moral of the story is to make your luggage look different!

Smartphones Too Complicated

Mr. Martin Cooper here thinks that your smart phone is too complicated. He knows a little about cellphones. He is the former lead engineer at Motorola who invented the handheld cellphone. He is of the opinion that we are going to see another paradigm shift in mobile technology soon.

World's Best Point & Shoot Camera

Canon just released what many believe to be the best point and shoot camera made today, the S90. The reason that is is the best is that it allows direct control over all aspects of exposure and has the lowest low-light noise of any camera in its class.

For a full review of the Canon S90 head over to Ken Rockwell's site.

Amelia Earhart Found?

Researchers believe that they have found the remains of Amelia Earhart on the uninhabited tropical island of Kiribati. They believe that she made an emergency landing on the island in 1937. It is a very interesting story.

New iPod Dock

Now this is an iPod speaker to be proud of. It is a whopping 4x3 feet. Check out the nano sitting next to the speaker. It is made Brothers in Drottninggatan, Stockholm. It is only $4,495 plus shipping.

Here is the funny thing, they sold out of the first run. If you really want one you have to be placed on a waiting list for the next production run.

NSA's New Data Center

The NSA has outgrown it's current data center space. As such, they are building a 1.5 million square foot data center in Utah. This place is going to be HUGE. It will be a 30-megawatt facility and will be cooled by chilled water and capable of Tier 3, or near carrier-grade, reliability.

This will be the largest known data center in existence. The second largest belongs to - you guessed it, the NSA.
