Soundfreaq SFQ-01 Bluetooth Audio System
By now, we know you’re tired of tripping over audio wires to connect your iPhone to your home stereo system when you want to hear your music LOUD. Then the phone rings and you have to run back to the stereo, to grab the phone. That sucks but Soundfreaq has a fix for that with their SFQ-01 Bluetooth audio system.
The SFQ-01 is an audio system that receives signals from your Bluetooth devices so you can move freely around the room without missing a beat. The system is also equipped with an FM Tuner, an iPad/iPhone/iPod dock, on-board controls, remote control and a 3.5 millimeter auxiliary input so you can connect virtually any audio device into the exceptional sound that the SFQ-01 provides.
Honeymoon Space Shuttle
not sure about this..?!?
Yelken Octuri, the man who designs interiors for Airbus, has earlier impressed us with his two Aircraft of the Future concepts called Flying yacht and the Sailing aircraft, which appear to have come straight from some sci-fi fiction. Another interesting design from Yelken Octuri is the Honeymoon space shuttle for a weightless honeymoon in space. Space tourism is getting closer to reality than ever before, and the Honeymoon space shuttle concept aims to offer a unique zero gravity space experience for the couples.
The shuttle has a specific mechanism that will keep the bodies together and let the couple enjoy the pleasures of microgravity lovemaking. The Shuttle contains five capsules, and each capsule hosts a couple for a 48-hour flight. The capsules are dropped at an altitude of 200 km and once the flight is finished, each capsule follows an automatic and autonomous return flight.

Twitter ~ Ping Join Forces For Music | Songs In Tweets
Avid Twitter users should prepare for a potential onslaught of musical tweets after Apple’s social network Ping and Twitter announced a partnership today.
Twitter announced in its blog:
Starting today Ping, iTunes’ new social network for music, and Twitter are making it even easier for people to share music discoveries with their friends by putting Ping activity, song previews and links to purchase and download music from the iTunes Store right in their Tweets on Twitter.com.
Twitter users can sync their account to Ping within iTunes and song previews and links to purchase music will appear in the right panel of Twitter’s relatively new website design. TheNextWeb notes that “this announcement could make a big difference” in terms of Ping adoption. Ping was initially released with Facebook Connect integration, which mysteriously disappeared not long after and led to some considerable attention. Twitter seems to be taking advantage of that mishap in September with a partnership of its own.

Buenos Aires Vertical Zoo Proposal
The “ECO-CLIFF” is a revolutionary tower that will serve as a nesting ground for thousands of migrating birds as well as an ecological habitat for the different animals and species of the “Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve Zoo”.
Wrapped around a rigid structure, a system of nets and steel cables of varying densities covers the different functions, while maintaining, from a distance, the tower’s image of an organic cliff.
The perforated skin of the tower will allow the controlled penetration of natural light and fresh air as well as rain water, in preferred areas, along with a system of green vegetation ingrained in the netting system, thus creating a small eco-system within the buildings boundary.
In order to minimize the damage to the reserve by motored vehicles and the reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions in the city, the Eco-Cliff’s main entrance is via a cable-way which connects to a public transportation system. As an option, we suggest to re-use the old mill silos at Puerto Madero as a possible gateway station, therefore connecting the Av. De Mayo urban axis and subway station to the Costanera Sur Reserve.

The Classicist: The Ultimate Guide to Savile Row Style
Lavishly illustrated and encyclopedic in scope. Bespoke: The Men’s Style of Savile Row begins with the opening of Henry Poole & Co. in 1806 and follows the illustrious history of London‘s custom tailoring tradition. Famous adherents of ‘The Row’ through the years from Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, the Duke of Windsor and Winston Churchill to latter-day dandies like Prince Charles, Mick Jagger and David Beckham are also discussed.
From its rather humble beginnings Sherwood discusses Savile Row’s role in tailoring for the sporting set, the military and Royalty, the phenomenal influence the houses have had in the sartorial style of the silver screen – where else would James Bond get his threads? – the Row’s evolution as “bespoke” was challenged by the mod rock & roll fashion revolution, and its embrace of fashion-forward newcomers like Tommy Nutter, Richard James and Ozwald Boateng, leading a revival of an art form that looked at one time to be doomed to obsolescence, now flourishing in its 200th year.
The style of each of the street’s premier tailors is presented in detail along with the immeasurable impact Savile Row style has had on the work of international designers like Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, and Tom Ford, who contributed a foreword to the book. “English gentlemen’s tailoring, and in particular the tailoring of Savile Row, really set the standard for the way the stylish 20th-century man dressed,” Ford writes. “This English style, in fact, became the international style for well-dressed men all over the world, and this influence has not waned even in today’s more casual world. I suppose that when it comes to men’s clothes I am an Anglophile and if I did not design my own men’s collection, I would have virtually my entire wardrobe made on Savile Row.”
Michael Jackson Wii Game
