Bang & Olufsen spells luxury entertainment to us. This brand credits itself on bringing to its loyals such stylish technology that other brands will always have a tough time coping up with. Recently, it was the sleek BeoVision 10 TV that caught everyone’s fancy, and now it is the newer and bigger BeoVision 7 that is sure to blow everyone away!
For starters, there is a avery evident 15 inch boost such that the television measures 55 inches in total which is real grand. The LED backlight support with local dimming option works wonders to boost the contrast. Then there are the two different motorized stand options that make room inside for a Blu-ray player. The refresh rate is pretty impressive at 120 Hz. No wonder we were using the adjective ‘Big’!

The market seems to be really improving considering all the cool new yachts being announced. Here is one such luxury yacht called the Anjilis which is the result of collaboration between Glade Johnson and Trinity Yards. The yacht comes with Art Deco influence and because of such artistic influences, the yacht ends up looking a tad too luxurious.
Even the furniture within the yacht has been carefully chosen and thanks to all the exotic wood used, the yacht ends up being a really high quality floating machine. The yacht can manage a speed of 16 knots and since it is built in aluminium and ABS, it matches world class shipping standards. At $37.85 million, it is one of the most expensive yachts I have come across.

Well, we have dope for you on a cool (oops, hot) new fireplace which will prove to be a welcome change to all those heaters and blowers scattered around you house. Dubbed Hybrid Space Furniture’s Media Fireplace, this one makes for a great choice if and only if you are open to strecthing your budget a little bit.
Crafted in solid wood, the Media Fireplace comes in a whole range of different finishes. And as the name would have already suggested to you, this home appliance isn’t just about some cosy electric heating alone. In fact, this one lets you enjoy a good entertainment system vis-a-vis the 32″ Vizio flat panel that gels in pretty well with the whole structure of the unit.

If you are one of those who can never get enough of golf, we have just the thing for you to be installed at home or even at your office to take off the pressure. The Video Arcade Miniature Golf Game is available at the house of Hammacher Schlemmer. And this entertainment machine has been designed to offer you the ultimate experience in miniature golf.
Sized just as the regular gaming machines found in arcade parlors, this one makes use of real golf putters and balls. The courses and obstacles are displayed virtually on a 32-inch vertical LCD display. This means that four competitors (yes, you and three of your closest buddies) can enjoy a game on two virtual courses – Las Vegas course (casino theme) and the Paradise Island course (tiki torch theme).

And we never knew there was a faint possibility to make pool even more addictive than it actualy is! Enter Obscura and its wonderful knack of adding a lot of chutzpah to whatever little project it plans to take up. This time around it is the CueLight that has caught everyone’s fancy. This innovative pool table makes use of sensors and motion detectors along with an overhead projector. The latter creates images as you go about leaping on the table.
This system works well because the balls can now be tracked and tailed with fire illusions. In fact, the pool table can also create ripples when the balls strike the side rails. All this comes for a price, and might we add a big one too. $80,000 is what the system costs while the pool table comes for nothing less than $125,000. So we are thinking whether the system will work on the old pool table lying in your attic?

Pretty much like the magic of the mythical Xanadu that we have read about in poems and literary works, the new HRS100 speakers by the same name aspire to live up to the famous Xanadu reputation. Created by a Dutch manufacturer, this treat for the true audiphile feels like it has come from some exotic lands.
Here is a little dope on the company. Xanadu is locted in the small city of Eessselmeyden and has been quite busy developing the finest qualities in sound technology. The result has been the top notch HRS100. We are told that this has been finest creation by the brand so far!

Whether having too many choices is a good option or not, we leave it for you to decide. As far as we go, we are quite happy to check out multiple options before making the final choice. And there is another one in the already so overcrowded arcade market (we do not mean to sound sarcastic here)!
So, if you are one looking for a unique style of your own hat provides you total satisfaction then the all new Surface Tension arcade table might just interest you. Standing on a strong and solid wood frame, this table has a pretty tough glass top which is really anodes and silk-screened aluminum control panel.

You must have realized that one’s taste in music is among the things that are formed at an early age and refuse to be changed by time and even experience. Well, it’s a rather fair platform to start with because each one of us has our own likes and choices. All that said, we must tell you that it is indeed good to be distinct (or even the opposite, who cares, after all it IS your preference) in your music but it will be nothing short of a sin if you miss out on the newest speakers on the block.
Flamboyantly named as Aquila (though, even Rockport would have worked just fine) loudspeakers, these have been developed by Rockport Technologies especially for those who think music deserves nothing less than being worshipped.

We all have a horrible-horrible taste in television. With an opening statement as scathing as that you will indeed agree that there is always something the matter with the whole experience of TV viewing that renders it incomplete. But there is a cure in the form of the TV Easel that will set you back by a cool $1,000.
This little piece of furniture will let you balance your television at a 70-degree angle on reclaimed oak. As a result, the idiot box will earn itself a newfound respect in your decor. The easel works along the principle of glasses that when worn by a dork can make him/her look like an intellectual.

Whoever said street art is not legal, and that they deface the city? Slovenian Art collective Zek crew have created an awesome street art ensemble that baffles the viewer into believing street art is the way to go. The art was installed or done in order to promote the Trnfest 2009. The logo of the fest was cut of a large white material and that was applied over the many billboard ads that are found in cities.
The negative space of cut outs reveal colourful layers of decaying art which suggests the many layers that are found in a city and its society. The art is not about adding something but “cutting out” something from the existing just like the way real life is supposed to be.
