Good news is that the long wait for the 43-inch CRV 43, the mogul of all monitors, is over. We first spotted the gorgeous pioneer of a new revolution in TV technology from NEC at CES last year. The curve concept was impressive, no doubt. And as the TV screen becomes a reality, so does its price tag which says $8,000 a piece.
Well, the money is huge but it sure isn’t getting wasted as the curved monitor has seamless display features achieved by sewing together four DLP monitors, especially for high-end gaming sessions. Thanks to the high tech CRVD-42DWX, the contrast ratio is as high as 10000:1 that goes completed by the double WXGA + 2880 x 900 panel. The response time is only of 0.02 seconds.

We should have well expected this, but frankly we didn’t — a house complete with nuclear shelter! Enter Goldenhill. A dream home with its own 15-berth nuclear shelter, a 34-seat cinema and an underground aquarium, this one looks and feels like a dream. No wonder the builders A&B Homes’ luxury developments are so proud of this property.
A lot of attention has been paid to the tiniest of details like the position vis-à-vis the sun and the landscaping to be as eco-friendly as possible. Up for sale at $12 million, many say it has created quite an impression on Chelsea football captain John Terry except for the location.

With a fitness consciousness dawning in rapidly, we are not really surprised to spot one health regime armory almost every week, each claiming to be different and better than the rest. The Power Plate is one such training machine. Designed by a Japanese who goes by the name of Kenzo Takada, this ‘revolutionary’ system is expected to be a very efficient training device.
We hear that the Power Plate works on vibrations that help realize new levels of health, fitness and performance. And the latest from Takada tells us that he has redesigned his famous machine making it look ‘appealing’ (though many of you might not agree with looks) with a mix of pink, blue and green flowers against a backdrop red gloss. Apparently, the idea was to brighten up the exercise regimen that most people are either bored or dread to undertake on a regular basis.

A cocoon. A space-ship like urn. Relaxer. Call it what you want, but its makers have named it, Human Regenerator. A thirty minute session in it is meant for holistic health in the soothing environs of your own home.
How does it work? It is a vertical cylinder when you enter its wavy entrance. Once someone activates the touch-screen, the invisible process of regeneration begins while the tube-like container moves to a horizontal position.
Its makers say the regeneration is so understated that one can hardly notice any chance, except for a slight ticklish feel in the extremities of your body organs. When the session is complete, the tube returns to its vertical position.
Each unit is priced 420,000 euros, is hand assembled, and exclusive.

The only thing that was missing from our dream future home was a robo. But now it can come true or a cool and irresistible android is up for sale. The name is Mazinger Z. Well, if you are Japanese or have spent considerable time in that country, this name will not be new to you. And for the uninitiated, let us tell you that this was a popular animation tele show created by Go Nagai way back in 1970s.
So, you can safely assume tat this one is the original super robo that later inspired other series and toy lines in the same brand as well as in others. By the way, Mazinger Z is your Tranzor Z in the US. Okay coming back to the ‘for sale’ bit, well, the robo made in titanium and other advanced materials is expected to fetch $20,400.

One thing that hasn’t really been affected by the financial hard times is your local movie theater or even the one at home. Facts have shown us how the most popular form of recreation and entertainment has continued it stand even today. But here, we will be talking about the exotic among them. Opulent custom-made home theaters like the incredible Death Star Theater and the Ultimate Home Theater (that has been inspired by the Titanic) have drawn our attention on many occasions before.
The latest entrant to that exclusive list is the Cinema De La Mer. Built in a Palm Beach, Florida residence, this theater breathes luxury. And very ironically, the Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire is running there. Due to it classic decor, the movie theater takes you at least five decades back.

Let us welcome yet another addition to the oh-so-long list of high-end multimedia chairs that we love to talk about so much. A production of the German brand Heimweh Loge, this lounger will take your breath away. Apparently, the makers came up with this concept to suit both residential as well as commercial needs. But we get a feeling that the designer specifically had airports and banks in mind, because that is really where customers want some private space which is comfortable and inviting.
The unit includes a wooden frame with a height of 130 cm and width of 2.5 cm with a relaxing chair in the middle. Being equipped with a cool 22-inch LCD TV, the chair takes care of your entertainment needs. Not only that, the chair is also supported by a DVD and CD player both placed inside the roof of a wrap around base unit.

The spirit of sci-fi has been very appropriately transformed into a timepiece that goes by the name of Concord C1 Quantum Gravity. A Tourbillon watch, it is a rather simple one too but with an appearance that will give you the impression of the most complex mechanisms.
In the time of new watches coming up every second day, the success of one totally relies on novelty. And by that benchmark, this one is a resounding success. With a large 48.55 mm wide titanium case that goes 22 mm deep, this watch is massive. The rather larger-than-life interface helps enhance the colors and complexities of the display. Then it is unique with a perpendicular power reserve that is an amalgamation of verticality and fluidity. Even the dial of the watch has been done away with to make way for the mobile glass column, located between 12 and 1 o’ clock, which works as a power reserve with a vertical indicator.
