To be filed under the ridiculously aspirational: the new Bentley laptop designed by Ego. For the fools who believe that a hood ornament transferred to your leather-bound laptop will lead you any closer to mogul status, please contact me so I can steer your financial missteps in the right direction (philanthropy, real estate, ok, fine, a pair of YSL Tribute sandals). I’m glad Engadget seems to agree on the absurdity of the latest to enter the luxury laptop division, which starting at close to $20K makes my current laptop wishlist (comprised solely of the Macbook Air) look like a trip to the 99 Cent Store. Barneys appeared to drop the line after carrying an earlier design, and this version is sold only at Selfridge’s, although Ego is expanding its market in the label-happy UAE. Check out the Ego website for diamond-encrusted laptops and more signs that society isn’t on its way to hell in a handbag after all. It’s headed that direction via your luxury notebook.

Sony has been coming out with some interesting speakers lately. Rigel recently mentioned the tiny Bravia Theater Micro System which put big sound in a package the size of a strawberry. Now check out the Sony Sountina. We’re not talking small here, the six-foot tower is made of glass and has a 13 cm woofer and 7 cm mid range speaker. The speakers spread sound out in a circle giving listeners equal sound no matter where they are in the room. Even cooler, in dim light, the glass turns colors, displaying blue, amber, and purple. It sells for $11,800 from Dynamism.

Nowadays

This is a usual Flash Drive with a lighter built in or it’s possible to say that it is a lighter with a Flash Drive built in. This gadget represents special choice for smokers of course. This is comfortable thing, because it is not necessary to bring lighter and Flash Drive separately, all is combined together. One of the biggest advantages of this gadget is that Flash Drive could be pulled out. It wouldn’t prevent using lighter. Its memory size is 4 GB. It’s made in Zippo style and is decorated with a cowboy’s symbol - the cow skull.

The price or such invention is 26.65 USD. To my mind it’s quite a good gadget. However, it’s possible to make an inscription on the gadget’s body “Smoking is harmful for your health”. I think that all the inventions should to bring any harm to us, but to carry out useful functions.

-somefile_with_hyphen_as_first_char.txt

and you try to copy it and get an error like

cp -somefile_with_hyphen_as_first_char.txt something_else.txt

cp: invalid option — o

Because of the filename with hyphen act as a parameter, so you can’t just do regular cp.  Try this instead

cp — -somefile_with_hypgen_as_first_char.txt something_else.txt

Hope this will someone,l later

Glory Hole - Monticello Dam

This one scares me for some reason, imagine getting sucked in! Anyways a Glory Hole is used on dams when the reservoir gets full and water needs to be drained away.

The sheer scale of this hole is realised in this shot below. The hole is part of the Monticello dam in California. This Big sucker can drain away nearly 14′400 cubic feet of water every second! :O

Here is the water being pumped out by gravity at the bottom of the dam. Its just like a big camocarzy slide! Weeeee! Plooop out the bottom… Who wants to go first?

Mirny Diamond Mine

This is a Diamond mine in Siberia and is absolutely massive! Shows how far we as humans will go for precious materials, especially diamonds for the ladies
This hole is mesures 1200 meters in diameter and is 525 meters deep…

Check out the picture below, the red arrow indicates a large truck inside the mine.

The mine has got a no-fly zone across it due to a few helicopter’s getting sucked in! Wow!

Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah

Extraction for this mine began in the 1860’s and still continues to this day. The hole is said to be one of the largest man made mines on the planet measuring over 1200 meters deep and over 4000 meters wide! And this is increasing in size all the time due to the on going excavation.

Kimberley big hole in south Africa

Here is another diamond mine in south Africa. It measures just under 1100 meters deep.

This mammoth of a hole brought out 3 tones of diamonds, i wonder who the lucky lady was?

Kimberley must have been the lucky gal

Great blue hole in Belize

This amazing phenomenon is the Great blue hole situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize. 1/4 mile wide and 145 meters deep. The dark water creeps me out but is a very popular diving site for many divers that come from all around the world to dive here.

This long board electric skateboard handles like a snowboard for carving turns and travels at speeds up to 20 miles and hour. It has a wireless controlled throttle and braking system and much bigger wheels and trucks than ordinary skateboards. You can’t weigh more than 160 pounds to ride it and the board itself weighs 65 pounds which isn’t light. It sure looks like a blast. Something my snowboarding/skateboarding teen would love to have in his arsenal! But at over $500 it’s not likely!
