The World’s Smallest Solar-Powered Movie Theater

Admit it, we’re pretty demanding of our movie theaters: IMAX screens, seat shaking sound and glorious AC are the bare minimum. Sol Cinema offers a different experience. It’s a glorified trailer that fits 8 people and is completely solar powered.

The UK-based Sol Cinema is 100% powered by the Sun. They say:

“The U.K. isn’t famous for sunny days, yet [we] still manage to run our entire cinema, including video projectors, sound systems, laptops, hard drives and lights from the energy of the sun via solar panels. This means we have no utility bill each year and can perform anywhere at anytime.”

The film projector they use is powered by four large lithium-ion batteries that are charged by two 120W solar panels. Sol Cinema refrains from showing anything that glorifies violence or is “too mainstream”. They tell customers to think more “Michael Moore rather than Demi Moore”.

World’s Most Expensive Diamonds

Carat for carat, rubies and emeralds generally outprice the common diamond. Certain rare specimens of diamond, however, will eclipse even the priciest examples of those other gemstones. While some priceless gems exist, such as the world famous Hope Diamond, these are the most expensive diamonds ever sold.

 

The Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond – $23.4 million

The Wittelsbach-Graff diamond is a 35.56-carat blue diamond mined in India. The historic diamond was chosen by King Philip IV of Spain as part of the dowry for his daughter, the Infanta Margarita Teresa. Her suitor, Leopold I, later became Holy Roman Emperor and passed the diamond on to his heirs after she died in 1673. When the Archduchess of Austria married Bavaria’s Crown Prince in 1722, the diamond became known as “Der Blaue Wittelsbacher” (The Blue Wittelsbach) after the Crown Prince’s family. This diamond became the most expensive diamond in the world after being sold to London-based jeweler Laurence Graff in 2008. Graff immediately had the gem altered in order to enhance its color and remove some damage to its girdle, an action decried by some gemstone experts.

Pillow Remote Control for the real lazy

Let’s say that creditors have knocked on your doors for the umpteenth time, and they decided to take nearly everything you own so that your debt can be paid off. You of course, did the best bargaining act of your life to make sure your flat screen TV stays with you, never mind the fact that they have already taken away your couch, leaving you with the cold, hard floor to sit on while you get your daily TV fix. What are you to do in such a case? If you happen to have $29.95 lying around in your pockets, then you might want to consider Brookstone’s universal remote control pillow for your home. At least while you’re not using it to flip channels and control the volume with its sewn-in fabric buttons, you can always get some shuteye without leaving your head on the cold, hard floor. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries, this is one interesting conversation starter to have in your home – of course, you would have far more colorful stories to tell if you’re already on the verge of bankruptcy.

Subzero Warm Breath Mask

No, wearing this doesn’t turn you into some sort of cold blooded ninja from the Mortal Kombat series, but rather, it is meant to help you face the upcoming winter without feeling too uncomfortable. This fleece mask is preferred by high-altitude mountaineers and Antarctic scientists because it humidifies and warms winter air for comfortable breathing. There is a special ventilation chamber which allows wearers to inhale full, unhindered breaths while making sure a small amount of heated, humid exhalation is trapped – this is so that a comfortable, fully oxygenated “microclimate” will remain within the mask with up to 80 percent humidity and temperatures 40° F to 60° F warmer than outside air. Apparently, medical studies by the American College of Sports Medicine do point towards the benefits of such a microclimate being healthier for the lungs, since excessive exposure to cold, dry air can trigger asthmatic symptoms. Boasting medical-grade, microbe-resistant polyurethane in the chamber which will bond with humidity in the air, it helps keep moisture off the face while preventing fog on glasses and goggles. The mask itself is highly breathable, featuring wind-resistant Polartec fleece with hook-and-loop flaps that are shaped to fit comfortably over goggles and helmets.

Belkin unveils FlipBlade

Belkin is a name that is more often than not synonymous with quality accessories for a variety of consumer electronics. Of course, with the advent of iDevices from Apple, Belkin has carved out a rather comfortable niche for itself in that department by offering a bunch of pretty useful accessories as well. The company isn’t going to rest on its laurels anytime soon though, with the FlipBlade & Grip 360° + Stand being announced most recently.

The flexible hand strap will deliver a comfortable carrying case to hold your iPad wherever you go, enabling an easy 360-degree rotation to view content at just about any angle. Once you’ve arrived at your destination, all you need to do is remove the hand strap and attach the stand to position the iPad on any flat surface for a much more comfortable viewing experience.

Get better shots with the Portable Photo Studio

There have been other versions of this type thing before, specifically one from Hammacher and Schlemmer.  However, you’re likely to appreciate this version a bit better if for no other reason than it is $30 cheaper.  Cheaper is always a major bonus.  Especially if you’re picking this up to get better photographs on items you’re attempting to sell.  The less you spend on supplies, the more profit you’ll make on your products.  This tiny studio collapses for easy storage, so when you don’t need it, it’s easily tucked out of sight.

The set includes the photo lightbox, two 35 watt photo lights, a 6 to 7 inch mini-tripod and then a zippered nylon carrier to store it all within.  The camera in the picture is of course not included with the set.  You’ll tragically have to find your own camera to use with it.  The miniature studio will keep your pictures from being blurry, diffuses lighting, creates a clean background and reduces harsh shadows that would normally be created.

Most Expensive Scotch Whiskies

Two bottles were sold in Glasgow in 2010, one to a US-based collector and one to a UK-based investor. It is the first Scotch to sell for six figures.
