"At the first glance at pictures, it felt like there’s another addition to Sir Richard Branson’s luxury fleet to accommodate the rich and adventurous. However, Virgin is still to unveil something as innovative as this Undersea Yacht, dubbed U-010. This luxurious undersea vehicle is designed to explore the deep seas in complete safety and comfort. With an overall length of 66.5 m, the U-010 unit is a unique vessel for its quality to travel on the surface as well as underwater by simply passing from diesel to electric propulsion. Equipped with integrated systems of stabilization, the passage on the sea surface is slow and comfortable even under the worst conditions. Whether it’s luxurious trips to nearby islands or the stylish underwater adventuring, one thing’s for sure that U-010 will give new meaning to seagoing." - Pankaj

Father's Day Favorite: Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal

2010-06-20T07:25:00.000-04:00

Beautiful wine for Father's Day. Don't forget Red Dead Redemption too.

Via Luxuo

"When selecting a Father's Day gift of high-end spirits – so much more appealing than the old necktie standby – for the dad with discerning tastes, single malt Scotch or small batch bourbon is perceived to be the safer choice, while for some Cognac implies a prescribed level of connoisseurship which the paterfamilias may not possess. Cognac appeals precisely because it's a bit different however, and a special bottling connotes extra thought on the part of the giver. No father who favors a glass of something good could fail to appreciate Rémy Martin's 1738 Accord Royal. The name is a nod to King Louis XV's decree of that year rewarding Rémy Martin's excellence. The 1738 Accord Royal is a Fine Champagne Cognac blended from nearly 240 eaux-de-vie aged between 4 - 20 years in Limousin oak barrels, producing a smooth, rich and mellow spirit with notes of oak, chocolate, cinnamon and ginger." - Jared Paul Stern

E3 2010: Silent Hill 8 frightens Xbox 360, PS3 coming 2011

2010-06-16T21:28:00.003-04:00

Konami's latest horror installment due out next year for Sonys and Microsoft's home consoles. I've always loved the Silent Hill franchise, I just wish that Akira Yamaoka didn't retire from composing the scores for the games.

Via Gamespot

"LOS ANGELES--Today at Konami's press briefing, on top of announcing a Glee singing title and Neverdead, the publisher announced the next installment in the frightening Silent Hill series. According to series producers Devin Shatsky and Brian Gomez, Silent Hill 8 (working title) will make its way to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.
A trailer for the game was shown, painting a series-familiar setting of gloom. In the trailer, the camera panned over a rain-soaked road, coming to rest as an inmate transport vehicle sped past.
Gamers will play as ex-inmate Murphy Pendleton, a man who suffers from lucid visions when he sleeps. In the trailer, Pendleton is seen running through the forest in his jumpsuit, crossing a ravine by tiptoeing along a log, finally finding his way to Silent Hill."

Rolls-Royce to Design New Line of Superyachts

2010-06-16T12:55:00.001-04:00

Can you imagine a Rolls Royce Phantom in yacht form? So apparently Florida's Atlantic Yachts has teamed up with the marine division of Rolls Royce to release a new line of "superyachts."

Via Luxist

"Florida's Atlantic Yachts is collaborating with Rolls-Royce's Marine division to design and engineer a new line of superyachts dubbed the NVC 85 Y. The 279-ft. ships will be built by Germany's Nobiskrug GmbH while Atlantic's founder Paul Madden, formerly of Blohm + Voss Roman Abramovich's gigayacht Eclipse) will oversee the project. Available in different trims, the yachts will be equipped with completely bespoke interiors with plenty of Rolls-Royce branding. Featuring a steel superstructure and hydrodynamically efficient hull the NVC 85 Ys will be capable of a maximum speed of about 20 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots with a range of 8,000 nautical miles at cruising speed, with the aim of minimizing fuel consumption and environmental impact. Accommodation for 12 passengers in six double cabins and 22 crew members will be the base configuration, while a helipad on the foredeck assures they will arrive in style. While no price has yet been named, Killian Yacht & Ship Brokers will handle sales beginning with the first completed hull in 2012. (builders of " - Jared Paul Stern

iPhone 4 announced, launching June 24 for $199 with new FaceTime video chat

2010-06-13T07:59:00.002-04:00

Love the new design.

Via engadget

"Apple has unveiled its new iPhone 4 after a couple wild, unprecedented months of leaks. Sure, it looks exactly like we expected it to (Steve compares it to an old Leica camera), with a glass front and back, but it's what's on the inside that counts, kids. The stainless steel band that goes around the phone is an antenna system, while also providing the main structure of the phone, though it's plugged into the same old GSM / UMTS radio you all know and love -- there's a reason they didn't call it the iPhone 4G. There's also of course that front facing camera we were all anticipating, a rear camera with LED flash, and a new high resolution display that doubles the pixels in each direction (960 x 640) for a 4X overall pixel count increase -- Apple calls it a "Retina Display." It's rated at 326ppi, which Apple claims is beyond the human eye's limit of distinction. Check out an example of the new screen up against the iPhone 3G after the break. Similar to the iPad, it's an IPS display, offering 800:1 contrast. Naturally, it's still the same old 3.5-inch size. Under the hood is the A4 processor that runs the iPad. Despite the new engine (and the 25% thinner chassis), Apple managed to make the battery slightly larger, and the new handset is rated at 7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, and 40 hours of music. Oh, and that WiFi? It's 802.11n now. The camera has been bumped to 5 megapixels, with 5X digital zoom and a "backside illuminated sensor," which now can also record HD video at 720p / 30fps." - Paul Miller

Time Travel Is Possible, Says Stephen Hawking

2010-06-12T19:44:00.000-04:00

I freaking knew it!

Via Foxnews

"Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes humans are capable of time travel -- and he's not afraid to let everyone know.

Preparing for the debut of his Discovery documentary, Stephen Hawking's Universe, which screens next week, Hawking said he believed humans could travel millions of years into the future and repopulate their devastated planet.

Hawking said once spaceships were built that could fly faster than the speed of light, a day on board would be equivalent to a year on Earth. That's because -- according to Einstein -- as objects accelerate through space, time slows down around them." - NewsCorp Australian Papers
