Lamborghini LP650-4 Roadster
For the über-rich, second-best is never good enough. Lamborghini knows that and has therefore launched a more extreme — and pricier — version of its already expensive Murciélago LP640, realizing there will always be enough wealthy punters to buy them.

Lambo has screwed 10 more horses out of the 6.5-litre V12, splashed on some orange body bits and given it a new name: The LP650-4 Roadster.

Only 50 will be made and bought by those who think the standard Murcie isn’t fast or striking enough.

Even though it’s essentially the same car, thanks to 660Nm of torque, the 0-100kph run is now dispatched in 3.4 seconds, 0.4-seconds faster than the standard LP640 — a massive performance improvement, apparently.

The top speed is now about 330kph.

The special edition model will boast a ‘Grigio Telesto’ exterior — that’s grey-and-orange paintjob in plain speak.

There’s a smattering of LP 650-4 logos, in recognition of the car’s increased power. And in keeping with the Tang colour scheme, it also gets orange brake callipers and a cabin lavished with striking orange trim.

The roof is still canvas and requires a degree in quantum physics to build (it’s manual). Moreover, with the roof in place, the top-speed is still limited to a weedy 175kph — any faster and it’ll just blow away.

Lenovo Toxic Style Cellphone By Ryan Ma

I have been covering design and technology for many years now and the product design that excites me the most is the Cellphone. If you trace it from its origins, you will be amazed to see how this communication device has transformed from a basic wireless telephone to a fashion gizmo that packs it in all. If it’s not the camera, projector or touchscreen prowess, then it’s the blinged look that this device boasts of. Here’s a look at the Poison that brings a transparent LCD screen to the device. Looking more like a perfume bottle than a phone, it’s toxic!

Italian luxury yacht builder Riva will debut a new model designed specifically for the American market, the 52-ft. Rivale Palm Beach. The boat’s deck and hull are finished in a new color, desert sand, with Roman bronze detailing on the dashboard and signal mast evoking the image of a shark’s flipper. Inside the cabins, the walls and furniture are made of luminous elm, embellished with topstitched natural-grain leather, for a soft, dark contrast to the Roman bronze lacquering.

The size of the yacht permits the owner to man the craft himself, though there is space for two more guest cabins equipped with twin beds and a day head in addition to the master cabin, located at the bow with an en suite bathroom. The Rivale Palm Beach is equipped with two 1100-hp Man engines, for a top speed of 40 knots and range of 260 nautical miles at cruising speed. Riva has been an icon of classic Italian Riviera style since the 1950s, a favorite of Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Aristotle Onassis and Prince Ranier of Monaco. Priced at $2.46 million, the Rivale Palm Beach is available through Riva’s US dealer, Allied Marine.

ebay cave houseHave you ever wanted to live in a cave? Well know you can. A Missouri couple facing possible foreclosure have put their cave house up for sale on eBay. It's starting bid is $300,000.

This cave house was originally a 17,000 square foot cave used as a roller-rink/concert venue that entertained MC5, Ike and Tina Turner and Ted Nugent. It is situated in Festus, Missouri and it was turned into a unique home by the Sleeper familyin 2003 on ebay. It has all the amenities of modern life such as a kitchen, laundry room including a party room and is 2.80 acres.

This 15,000 square feet cave house is divided into three main chambers.The front chamber houses the main part of the 3-bedroom finished house.The middle chamber holds the laundry room, storage, and a spare bath. The middle chamber made a great party room. 80 feet by 80 feet.

The back chamber still has the stage where Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Ike and Tina Turner, the MC5 and many other bands performed.

Curt Sleeper told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he and his family, like so many others, are victims of the credit crunch. He has been unable to obtain mortgage refinancing for the cave.

"We don't want to move," he said. "But we need to protect our equity. We put everything we had into this home."

So the Sleepers have listed the cave on eBay.
