I know it’s wrong, but I kind of like the look of the sporty Volvo’s…

The lever harks back to Thonet’s longstanding tradition of wood manufacturing: it has been developed, for the new Volvo C70, whose interior fittings have been refined by HEICO SPORTIV.

The curved shape of the lever conveys lightness and reflects the design language of the floating centre console. It is crafted from the finest oak, beech or walnut wood and available as a limited edition that is hand made in an elaborate multi-stage process.

A beautiful machine modelled on a classic F1 design…

Every time there is a different machine but the man behind all these spectacular innovations remains the same, Marouane Bembli. The Chevy Razer is another creation designed for the race tack. The concept has elements from the past combined with the technology and performance of today’s supercars.

Its construction is pretty basic and the car can be bought as a kit to be assembled by the user. The Razer features a rear wheel drive and six speed manual transmission and is powered by powered by a 450hp V8.

Discarded magazines, scissors, glue, some more glue and a lonesome cowboy… by Esther Aarts

A torrid tail of Government military spending…

The Air Force has been trying to buy a new tanker for around nine years. And now it looks like it may go to Boeing. And here’s the irony: Back in 2004, Republican Senator John McCain successfully helped block a tanker lease arrangement that he saw as a sweetheart deal for Boeing. (Of course, I was secretly convinced that the nearly decade-long Air Force tanker saga was really a scheme to keep people in the defense trade press gainfully employed.)

Great photo though, more details at the fantastic Wired.com.

There is a new restaurant in town, called Restaurang Bar, run by the same prized cooks and gastronomic visionaries who started Lux, one of Stockholm’s very best restaurants. Restaurang Bar’s fish and seafood focused menu is in a much lower pricerange though, and the interiors are very minimalist industrial chic with a touch of Parisian bistro.

If ice spheres and real rocks don’t make the cut, the Hennessy Eternal Ice Drop will chill your cognac without adding water. This ice drop is a tear-shaped glass chiller with water inside that will cool your cocktail without dilution.

That fifteen dollar Cabernet Sauvignon needs time to breathe before serving– even up to an hour in most cases.  When time is of the essence but purity remains important, the Vinturi Wine Aerator will give your wine the oxygen it needs to soften and expose those flavorful aromas.  Hold the Vinturi above your glass, pour into its mouthpiece and your wine will mate with the air around it to yield the experience the vintner intended.

Buy from Amazon US or Amazon UK

Granted you would need a hell of a lot of snow to justify this machine, either way, what a beast!

Long Nguyen is one of the few photographers who enjoys the opportunity to create stunning images from the desk of his day job. As a professional pilot based in Seattle, Long spends most of his time criss crossing the western United States in a diverse group of aircraft. Flying full time provides him the opportunity to capture unusual views of the landscape, spectacular weather formations and other fresh perspectives few photographers ever experience.

I’m not really sure why this car is co-branded with GQ, but there no denying it’s an interesting and aggressive design does carry a certain flair…

The GQ magazine has worked closely with the French marque to create a hybrid car that suits its target readership. The vehicle also features styling by Citroën’s designer, Mark Lloyd, and interior design by Patrick Grant, the creative director of Savile Row tailors, E. Tautz.

This looks like a really exciting concept from Microsoft, combining note taking, organisation and reading into one multi screen device. I really hope they can bring a product to market that matches the quality demonstrated in the concept video…

Courier will function as a “digital journal,” and it’s designed to be seriously portable: it’s under an inch thick, weighs a little over a pound, and isn’t much bigger than a 5×7 photo when closed. That’s a lot smaller than we expected — this new picture really puts it into perspective — and the internals apparently reflect that emphasis on mobility: rather than Windows 7, we’re told the Courier is built on Tegra 2 and runs on the same OS as the Zune HD

Asus just released its RT-N56U, the thinnest router we’ve ever seen, or should we say, almost didn’t see? The router can handle 802.11 a, b, g, and n wireless signals and like a few other WiFi routers, you can plug any USB printer or hard drive into this to be able to access it via the wireless network. As of now, no price has been determined, but we’re very curious as to how this looks in real life.

Solar storms take place when the sun’s surface erupts and spews radiation or electrically charged particles toward Earth. The more frequent minor storms may cause some radio interference and create the Northern Lights spectacle known as the aurora borealis. But every few decades can see a huge solar storm that releases the energy of 1 billion hydrogen bombs.

Events of that magnitude took place in both 1921 and 1859, before the world had become reliant upon satellites and electronic devices in everyday life. A recent exercise held in Boulder, Colorado simulated a worst-case scenario based on that storm, and involved both space weather experts and officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
