We had mentioned Johnny Lee a few weeks back and he seems to really be getting some recognition these days. (I’m not claiming we had anything to do with it.) He gained quite a bit of notoriety with his Wii hack videos and TED.com now has a new video posted where he gets into some of his concepts. Can’t wait till he gets some funding, I’m sure he’ll be working on my robot slaves or something equally important within the next few years.
So the folks over at bling-my-thing.com have outdone themselves this time and made a Macbook Air for the rest of us. Created using over 12,000 Swarovski crystals and 24k gold this baby is only about $40,000 dollars.
If you want the solid state drive with that the price goes up to about 4.3 million.
*Editor note: I’ve just been informed that $40,000 dollars is actually MORE than the base price for the Macbook Air. Who would have guessed?!
So some researchers over at IBM are in the process of building a computer that can RUN THE ENTIRE INTERNET.
Seriously, that warrants caps.
Read the full article for a bit of explanation as to how they plan to make this machine capable of hosting the entire web as an application.
I for one welcome our computer overlords and offer forth my services as a liaison between them and the human plague race. In exchange I would like to be paid in robot slave girls. Oh, I’ll require an office with a hot tub as well.
