Retro Cassette Cover for iPhone
This brilliant, retro-tastic, uber realistic Retro Cassette iPhone cover will have you reliving your youth while protecting your handset from bangs, scrapes and dust. The fantastic silicon cover is designed to look exactly like an old audio cassette, complete with its own case. But instead of making a mix tape of all your favourite, back in the day tunes, this cassette gives complete protection to your iPhone (which probably already contains all your favourite back in the day tunes).However not only does this perfectly fitting cover keep safe your handset, but the cassette case, when fully opened, also makes a perfect stand for your phone.It is the perfect gift for the fan of the latest cool, quirky gadget, or for that iPhone owner who wants a memento of his/her youth.

Disney Announces New Luxury Home Development
Disney is taking its time with this concept, they are offering less than 30 lots during this first go-round with the first homes being finished next year. The roll-out of other fully-built homes should come later, possibly after real estate continues to rise.
Golden Oak isn’t Disney’s first development. It created the fully-formed town of Celebration which offered everything from rental apartments to luxury homes in an idealized planned town. Golden Oak is nothing like Celebration, it’s not a planned town but a cluster of neighborhoods set amid ample undeveloped space. Carolwood is surrounded by natural preserves and has 17 custom home sites that are up to three-quarters of an acre. some with golf course or water views. Silverbrook has 19 homesites of about one-half acre and will be located near Summerhouse, the proposed private clubhouse for Golden Oak. Kimball Trace is a Tuscan-inspired village with courtyard homes.
The entire project could take eight to 10 years to complete. Florida has seen its share of faileddevelopments but the Disney name should keep this one afloat. Interested buyers can put down $25,000 to get on the sales reservation-list. More info is available at the designated Golden Oak website.

CLAE Russell
A long-time favorite amongst CLAE’s footwear roster, the Russell keeps it simple in this upcoming make-up. A simple shiny black leather goes well with the high-top upper. A subtle suede logo is seen along top of the eyelets. Look for the CLAE 2010 fall/winter to be available in the latter half of 2010.

Buffett And Gates Encourage Billionaires To Donate At Least Half of Their Fortunes
very interesting.. a very generous thought!!
Fortune’s Carol Loomis reports that Bill Gates, Melinda Gates andWarren Buffett are making a plea to the nation’s richest citizens. They are asking the nation’sbillionaires to pledge at least half their net worth to charity, in their lifetimes or at death. Gates tells Fortune that he thinks 50 percent should be the “low bar” and that people should actally givemore. Buffet also reaffirmed his own philanthropypedge saying that he and his family decided to “keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs” giving away more than 99 percent of his wealth.
And they aren’t alone. Fortune says that other billionaires who have already committed to at least a 50 percent pledge include Eli and Edy Broad, John and Ann Doerr, H.F. “Gerry” and Marguerite Lenfest and John and Tashia Morgridge. The Fortune article goes on to say that after the first billionaires’ dinner there were several more dinners set up by the Gateses. Part of the goal was just to talk about giving and why some people don’t give as much as they could. In the article Melinda Gates explains that the first part of the pledge campaign is just to help move people forward in the direction of thinking about giving and what good their money can do in the world and to plan ahead. The initiative is a long-term one and given, the potential money at stake, one which has the power to reimagine the social landscape.
