1 – $25 million – 201-carat Chopard
This watch by Chopard features three heart-shaped diamonds, the pink weighs 15 carats, the blue weighs 12 carats and the white weighs 11 carats. They are set in a bracelet encrusted with clusters of white pear-shaped diamonds arrange in flower motifs, with a yellow diamond standing up from the center of each. Total caratweight of the white and yellow diamonds is 163 carats, while the total caratweight of the watch is 201 carats. The watch has a spring-loaded mechanism which, when pressed, allows the three heart shapes to mechanically open up, much the way the petals of a flower will in the sunshine. The watch face, pavé-set with small round yellow diamonds, is exposed from underneath the heart-shaped diamonds. The watch's pricetag is $25 million.
The specifications for a number of the diamonds are as follows:
- 1 heart-shaped diamond, natural Fancy Pink, Internally Flawess, 15.37 carats.
- 1 heart-shaped diamond, natural Fancy Blue, VS2, 12.79 carats.

The Panamera 4S also comes with 18 inch wheels and silver calliper brakes. This version is all wheel drive and is fitted with 4.8litre engine, like the S it can reach 175mph (283km/h) but goes 0-60mph (100km/h) a little bit quicker in 4.8 seconds.
The Panamera turbo comes with bigger 19 inch wheels and red calliper brakes. It also has the benefit of a retracting spoiler that splits to widen and create more downforce. The Turbo is the faster of the three, it comes with 4.8litre engine, can produce 500bhp, it can reach a higher top speed of 188mph (303km/h) and goes 0-60mph (100km/h) in just 4 seconds.
In the center of the dashboard is a 7 inch colour touch screen display which features the Porsche communication management (PCM). This device has control over navigation, communication and also the 11 loud speaker 235 watt stereo system. It is optional to choice a more powerful BOSE surround sound system with an even more powerful 585 Watts.

The system also monitors your speed and shines the lights further ahead the faster you are travelling
.Prices will be starting from around $90,000 (£72,000).
Apple iPad tablet: Specs, features, price announced
Apple on Wednesday announced the iPad, a 9.7-inch tablet computer that fits in between the iPhone smartphone and the MacBook computer.
The 0.5-inch thick device, which weighs 1.5 lbs., is intended to be used for web browsing, e-mail, photos, video, music, games and e-books — pretty much everything that its pint-sized cousin the iPod touch can do, only bigger.
"We've always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said. "It's the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad."
In fact, it can run all iPhone and iPod touch apps out of the box, with no modification, using pixel-doubling technology.
It comes preinstalled with iTunes and the App Store and has a virtual keyboard for typing, as well as pop-over menus. It supports HD video and offers 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR support, as well as an accelerometer, compass, speaker, microphone and Apple standard 30-pin connector.
Inside, you'll find a 1GHz Apple A4 chip — yes, in-house silicon courtesy P.A. Semi — as well as flash memory ranging in capacity from 16GB to 64GB. Jobs claims its battery will last 10 hours with use and "more than a month" in standby mode.
It will not support multitasking.
The device is arsenic-free, BFR-free, mercury-free, PVC-free and "highly recyclable," Jobs said.
The device's support for e-books comes in the way of "iBooks," a new online bookstore. (If you're counting, that's three stores for Apple now: App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore.)
The iPad can also support documents, spreadsheets and presentations with a new, modified version of the company's iWork suite.
While all iPads will have Wi-Fi, mobile broadband 3G connectivity (via AT&T) depends on the version: A plan for up to 250 megabytes of data will cost $14.99 per month, and an unlimited data plan will cost $29.99 per month.
All iPad 3G models are unlocked devices and use GSM microSIM cards. International deals are expected to be announced sometime in June or July, Jobs said.
The iPad will start at $499 and scale to $829, depending on version:
* 16GB Wi-Fi only: $499
* 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G: $629
* 32GB Wi-Fi only: $599
* 32GB Wi-Fi + 3G: $729
* 64GB Wi-Fi only: $699
* 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G: $829
No exact date was set for availability, but Wi-Fi versions of the device are expected in March 2010 with 3G models to follow in April.
Accessories are also available: a dock that functions like a picture frame, an external keyboard (effectively turning the iPad into a MacBook, sans Mac OS X) and a case.

Make way for space tourism
Entrepreneur Richard Branson has unveiled a model of the spaceship he hopes will be the first to take paying passengers into space on a regular basis as soon as next year.
Branson, whose Virgin Galactic is charging $200,000 for a short trip into space, said his SpaceShipTwo will start test flights later this year.
"We really do want to have a situation where hundreds of thousands of people who want to experience space travel are able to do so," said Branson at a media event at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan.
"Even though the dollar isn't worth much anymore, $200,000 is still too expensive for the majority of people," he said. "Within five years of launching, I would hope the price would come down fairly dramatically."
Virgin Galactic - part of Branson's airline, vacation and retail company Virgin Group [VA.UL], now has more than 200 people signed up for the ultimate sightseeing trip, stumping up more than $30 million in deposits.
Passengers getting ready for the two-hour trip include physicist Stephen Hawking, former soap star Victoria Principal and designer Philippe Starck.
About 100 of Virgin's reserved passengers attended Wednesday's unveiling, to get the first glimpse of the spacecraft's design.
"It's like something out of Thunderbirds," said Trevor Beattie, a British advertising executive, referring to the 1960s TV series. "It's what we as kids in the 1960s thought the future would be like."
Beattie, who co-runs the Beattie McGuinness Bungay advertising firm in London, said he bought the flight instead of splurging on a Ferrari, as he can't drive.
Richard "B.J." Bjorklund, a portfolio manager for Citigroup's Smith Barney unit in Dallas, said the trip would be his only chance of experiencing space travel after failing to get into the U.S. Air Force's astronaut program years ago.
The space trips, from a launching pad to be built in New Mexico, should take about two and a half hours, including five minutes of weightlessness. They will be suborbital, meaning the spacecraft goes just beyond 62 miles (100 km) above sea level -- the technical boundary of space -- then glides back to land where it took off without orbiting the Earth.
SpaceShipTwo, and its launch aircraft WhiteKnightTwo, also unveiled on Wednesday, were designed by Burt Rutan, whose SpaceShipOne collected the Ansari X Prize for privately funded space flight in 2004.
The main spacecraft, made entirely of carbon composite materials, will be about 60 feet (18 meters) long, with large, movable feather-shaped vertical fins at the back, which will make reentry into the earth's atmosphere safer, Rutan said. The ship, which will carry six passengers and two pilots, is 60 percent complete, Virgin said.
The spaceship, dubbed "Eve" after Branson's mother, will have a cabin about the size of a big business jet's cabin but with more headroom, Rutan said. It will have 18-inch-diameter windows on every side for better views of the Earth.
The launch plane, WhiteKnightTwo, will be a two-fuselage aircraft with a wingspan of about 140 feet which will carry SpaceShipTwo under the center of its wing, between the two hulls. The plan is for the aircraft to free the spaceship at around 50,000 feet, from where it will rocket upward into space.
WhiteKnightTwo, to be powered by four Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308 engines, is more than 80 percent complete, Virgin said. Pratt & Whitney Canada is a unit of United Technologies Corp.
Virgin Galactic is only one of several high-profile contenders in the new commercial space race. Others include Europe's EADS Astrium; Blue Origin, started by Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos; Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX), created by PayPal founder Elon Musk; Rocketplane Kistler; and Bigelow Aerospace, a venture aimed at creating space hotels, started by hotelier Robert Bigelow.
The leader in the budding sector is Space Adventures of Vienna, Virginia, which started the space tourism phenomenon in 2001 when it put U.S. businessman Dennis Tito on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft headed for the International Space Station for a reported $20 million. It has since sent another four paying passengers into space the same way.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG to woo all sports car buffs
After undergoing a facelift, the majestic 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG is confident to make other cars quiver on the ramp. A fresh look and enhanced dynamics are the highlights of Mercedes' latest update to its long-lived SLK roadster. Its 360hp V8 carries over, providing ample power to its AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic transmission, which has been tuned to shift even faster than before. Handling is improved by a new 'direct steering' system that Mercedes says improves feel and agility. However the mechanics remain largely unchanged while the new look is most obvious from the front of the car. The front fascia is now even more sloped and angular, with larger air dams and foglamps pushed further outboard. Slits in the side of the front apron vent hot air after it has passed through the intercooler. A new rear end and spoiler lip complete the meaner, more aggressive appearance of the new SLK 55 AMG. Other new tweaks include new 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels painted titanium grey shod that are capable of accelerating your car to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds.  Inside, a new AMG-styled instrument cluster goes to 320km/h (198mph), with silver/red needles and AMG lettering. New graphics make rpm and speed even easier to read. If you put the car into "M" mode, the AMG menu displays the current gear and an upshift light. Performance seats and nappa leather upholstery complete Mercedes' marriage of speed and luxury. If you opt for all this luxury on wheels then you can order the SLK 55 AMG now for about $101,000 (69,049 Euro). But you gotto wait for sitting behind its wheel as the market launch is scheduled for March 2008.   |
LOGITECH: WE ONCE AGAIN HAVE THE THINNEST KEYBOARD EVER!
Watch out Apple! You may have enjoyed your crowning achievement of having the thinnest keyboard for the past year or so, this doesn't mean Logitech has been sleeping around doing nothing. Better yet, they want that title back and with their new Illuminated Keyboard, you might as well throw in the towel because they're calling it, "The thinnest keyboard in the world."   The 9.3-mm thin Illuminated Keyboard features backlit keys, a soft-touch palm rest, and dedicated multimedia keys. The DiNovo Keyboard lineup is also receiving an update with much better battery life on their Portable Notebook edition. Both will retail $80 and $100 respectively and should be available in October.  |
