<span style="font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.7;"><span style="color: white;">Skydiving is a prominent thing-to-do on most people’s bucket lists. It frequents itself at the top of the list so often that some say skydiving has lost its perennially #1 ranking as the world’s biggest rush.</span></span></span></h1>

<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;"><span style="color: white;">With a drop-zone located only a few miles away from the Pacific Ocean sky-dive Santa Barbara offers up breath-taking panoramic views of the California coast line.

<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Aside from its chocolate, banks, and watches, Interlaken, Switzerland houses one of the most extraordinary drop zones in the world. At the base of the Swiss Alps and nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz you will have the option of jumping from an airplane or helicopter. Scenic views of mountain tops and glaciers offer a unique look as your shoot opens. If skydiving wasn’t enough to tickle your fancy, Interlaken also gives you the opportunity to test your nerves through hang-gliding, Alpin rafting, and paragliding.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">From bungee jumping, to elephant back riding, and now skydiving. Victoria Falls in South Africa, located on the Zambezi river between Zambia and Zimbabwe, gives those with a few screws loose a chance to see one of the worlds largest and most beautiful waterfalls from a unique perspective. A 25-minute scenic flight with Skydive Vic Falls gives you a chance to see the falls up close as well as many other local landmarks.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The indigenous name for the Falls is “Mosi-oa-Tunya” – which translates to “The Smoke that Thunders.” If that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, I don’t know what will.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Well on its way to becoming one of the worlds best skydiving resorts on the planet, Skydive Dubai offers thrill-seekers a chance to fly over a man-made peninsula that is literally on the water and even has its own private beach. After taking in the views that include the World archipelago, the 7-star Burj Al Arab hotel and the Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world – you can take a dip in the Arabian sea or enjoy the world-renowned night life. If that is not enough, hop on a quad and rip in up in the desert.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">5. Oceania: Skydive Queenstown, New Zealand</span></h1>
<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Deemed the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown is located on the south island. Between Queenstown and Rotorua, a 2nd location on the north island, 180,000 people have tumbled out of planes since 1990. The first commercial skydiving operation in New Zealand gives you the chance to leap from up above the Remarkable’s mountain range (how fitting is that). The Rotorua location is found between two towering volcanoes and is surrounded by mud pools, active geysers, and steaming lakes. The sky above this drop zone is known as Ranginui, or the Maori Sky God.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">

<span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">6. South America: Skydive Sao Paulo, Brasil</span></h1>
<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Perfect blue skies and wonderful weather make Sao Paulo a pristine drop zone. Located near the Atlantic ocean just outside of Rio De Janeiro, this jump offers up one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. If you time it right, you might be able to get a jump in as well as catch Formula 1 race, attend the ATP Brasil Open, or an Indy 300 event. The 2011 Skydiving world championships were held here..so you know it’s legit.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">This is not for the noob. Valery Rozov was the first man to climb the nearly 10,000 ft Mountain, Ulvetanna and base jump off of it. The free fall lasted roughly 45 seconds through -30 degree Fahrenheit winds. Although you might not be able to experience what Valery did there is a chance to get close.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;"><img alt="St Vincent And The Grenadines 20 Most Relaxing Places In The World" data-mce-src="http://www.fiked.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/St-Vincent-And-The-Grenadines.jpg" height="331" src="http://www.fiked.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/St-Vincent-And-The-Grenadines.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: #222222; cursor: default; font-style: inherit; height: auto; line-height: 1.7; margin-top: 0.4em; max-width: 100%; padding: 6px;" title="St Vincent And The Grenadines" width="483" /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">If you are looking peace and tranquility with all the amenities to boot then St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean may just the place you are looking for. First off it is a very small island located in the Caribbean Sea just South of St Lucia and a short distance away from Barbados, so you know the weather is going to be about as grand as you can imagine. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to stay here hence why it is so quiet; with few people having the funds to stay here for any amount of time it allows the island to be fairly quiet throughout the year and you will find the a minimum amount of tourists here. The seas are clear, the sky’s blue and the locals are respectful. You could do a lot worse than having a vacation here.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Easter Island is located in Chile and is another place to go if you want to be far and away from the usually hoards of tourists whom flock to most holiday destinations. Here you will find the mysterious monuments of Easter Island, huge stone structures which are made into large heads; these ancient sculptures are all around the Island and although there are many theories on where they came from and what they represent, the fact remains that there is really little known of them. The island is mostly quiet and the weather is usually quite good, with it being in Chile. However there are seasons of rain so if you are travelling here it would be best to do your homework before hand.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Necker Island is a tiny island within the set of Virgin Islands in the Caribbean; the islands are still British owned and there are very few tourists (if any) which visit the surrounding areas. Necker Island is no different, it is indeed British owned but rather than it being owned by the government it is actually owned by Richard Branson, the well-known, liked and respected entrepreneur. Richard Branson now uses the island as his own private getaway from time to time but you can hire the whole island including the staff for a hefty sum. With the exclusive hire of the island you get the most peaceful holiday you could imagine with no one else but yourself and your group as the only inhabitants whilst you stay there. This really is a once in a lifetime trip if you get the chance to go.</span></div>

There are amenities for those of you that need them, and there are a few small resorts around this area but Patagonia is fairly quiet in regards to tourists. Don’t get me wrong there are tourists which visit but those who do come here are often looking for the same thing as what you are, and that is peace and quiet. If you decide to come to Patagonia on a peaceful trip you will be pleasantly surprised. This is one place you want to visit before you die.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.7;">Man made dams represent some of the most incredible architectural feats in the world today. While most dams were designed to impound or retain water, others (like floodgates and levees) are often used to control water flow into certain areas.</span></h1>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Regardless of how they’re used no one will question the sheer power and force each dam holds. One crack or failure – one mistake in control – could easily cause a catastrophic accident with the potential to wipe out an entire city.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The following are some of the largest dams in the world as measured by sheer volume. While they’re not all necessarily in the “top 10″ in terms of size, they’re certainly sights worth visiting.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Located on the Krishna River, the Srisailam Dam was constructed in the Nallamala Hills in a gorge that sits approximately 300 meters above sea level. The dam was is one of the 12 largest in the country in terms of hydroelectric power production but was specifically built in order to provide irrigation for the districts of Kurnool and Cuddapah – both of which are prone to severe droughts.</span></div>

<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The Nagarjuna Sagar Dam can be found in the Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh in India. Considered one of the largest ever built in Asia, this dam was completed in 1966 and features 26 individual crest gates. As far as construction is concerned, this dam is the tallest in the world to be made strictly from masonry and its creation resulted in the third largest man-made lake on the globe. The dam and its canals are incredibly important to the ability to irrigate nearby land.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The Verzasca Dam, also known as the Contra dam, was built between 1960 and 1965 in Val Verzasca, Switzerland. The dam was built by Verzasca SA, a company that generates electricity on the site and will continue to do so until at least 2046. The Lago di Vogorno reservoir is artificial, created by the dam itself, and has been responsible for causing earthquakes during times when it is filled.</span></div>

<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The twelfth largest dam in the world was built in 1967 and was funded in part by the World Bank. The Mangla Dam came into creation thanks to the 1960 signing of the Indus Waters Treaty in which rights to the waters contained in the Ravi, Beas, and Suglej rivers were given to Pakistan. Before the dam was built Pakistan’s irrigation system relied solely on the flow of the Indus River – most of which was completely unregulated.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Completed back in 1976, the Tarbela Dam, also known as Torabela or Pashto, is considered to be the largest dam ever constructed on Pakistan’s Indus River. While it’s not the largest dam in the world overall, it is the largest dam filled naturally by the earth. The dam stores water in order to not only control flooding but for use in irrigation and the production of hydro-electric energy as well.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The Fort Peck Dam in northeast Montana is one of six dams found on the Missouri River. Construction of this dam began in 1933 as part of the New Deal put forth by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and enabled over 11,000 workers to have gainful employment during the course of construction. The dam, which is solely responsible for the formation of Fort Peck Lake, is used to control flooding and generate power.</span></div>

<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The Aswan Dam is actually a pair of dams – the Aswan High Dam and the Aswan Low Dam. In ancient times it was known that the River Nile would flood each summer as the waters flowed down from East Africa. As the population along the river grew it became necessary to find a way to control flooding in this area. Now the land is still fertile enough for farming and the people no longer have to worry about drought but the fields aren’t in danger of being wiped out due to flooding, either.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Located near Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, the Syncrude Tailings Dam is approximately 540,000,000 meters in volume. The dam is currently maintained by a company known as Syncrude Canada Ltd – a company responsible for oil extraction in the Athabasca Oil Sands. The dam serves as a barrage used to store tailings – or leftover slimes and residues – that appear as byproducts of the oil extraction operation.</span></div>

<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">The Three Gorges Dam in China is projected to be the absolute largest in the world. Expected to hold over 39,300,000,000 in volume, the reservoir is complete but the actual dam itself will not be completed until later this year. The construction of this dam had a huge impact on life in Sandouping, resulting not only in the relocation of dozens of villages but in the scenery as well. Because of the height of the Three Gorges Dam the mountains now look a bit lower than they actually are.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">These dams are not only amongst the largest, but are considered some of the most functional, beautiful, and aesthetically pleasing in the world. Don’t hesitate to visit one if you’re ever in the area. Seeing one of the enormous dams in person will prove to be an absolutely breathtaking experience.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.7;">Motorcycles have had mass appeal to the general public for roughly a century and a half. An American named Sylvester Howard Roper designed one of the first motorcycles in the 1860s. The motorcycle was displayed at fairs and circuses around the eastern U.S.. Europeans also had their hand in popularizing motorcycles and, during the World Wars, motorcycles functioned as a quick means of transportation.</span></h1>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">As the motorcycle progressed, the engines and frames became bigger, sleeker, faster and more powerful, resulting in the high-tech and expensive motorcycles of today. If you can afford one, a custom motorcycle built to your exact specifications is within reach.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">This expensive motorcycle was created by Claudio Castiglioni, MV’s director. He wanted to create a spectacular motorcycle that met strategic marketing needs while also being something truly special and unique. The expensive motorcycle bearing his very own initials “CC” has a top speed of 315 kph (195 mph), 1078 cc’s and a 198 hp engine. Each bike boasts a platinum plate located near the top of the steering column showing the model number from 1 to 100, making this motorcycle all the more special to its owners.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Not only is this motorcycle expensive, it’s also extremely fast. This bike, also known as the Y2K Turbine Superbike, is the Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production”. The turbine engine in this one is made by Rolls Royce and is capable of over 300hp. The motorcycle also boasts carbon fiber fairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display, forward-and rear-looking radar detector with laser scrambler, one touch “Smart Start” ignition, and many other cool gadgets. This bike seams to be pretty popular in Hollywood. It starred in the movie “Torque” and even Jay Leno owns one!</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">This bike was created by Andrew Morris in honor of legendary British Grand Prix motorcycle champion Barry Sheene, who died in 2003 at the age of 52. As such, only 52 of these 250 hp, turbocharged 1400cc motorcycles will be created, each emblazoned with a playing card hand-painted by the same artist who painted Sheene’s helmets, Mike Fairholme. Each of these bikes will be bespoke, tailored to fit the purchaser’s unique requirements.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Built around a Ducati 998RS engine, this motorcycle’s Italian designers and engineers set out to create an extremely high tech and expensive motorcycle that would be thought of as “the ultimate track bike” that is “simply beautiful and beautifully simple”. The Testastretta engine is fitted with lightweight metals and alloys, like titanium and aluminum, making it very lightweight. The view from the side of the Macchia Nera shows exposed belts and engine components, giving its design a minimalist feel while still being aesthetically pleasing. We should add that this bike is a one of a kind and not in produced for retail at this point, but if you have an extra 150,000 Euros (US $201,000) laying around for an expensive toy, your dream might come true.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">This reproduction of Dodge’s concept bike is considered an “automotive sculpture,” as it is not street legal in the US. Ten of these bikes were offered by Neiman Marcus in their 2003 Christmas Book. The Dodge Tomahawk V10 superbike boasts an 8.3 liter engine (505 cubic inch), and the 10 cylinders can bring the bike to a maximum speed of almost 400 mph. The 1500lb bike has an independent 4-wheel suspension and can reach 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The designs may be impractical in some cases, but the idea is to put the concept out to the world to see how it evolves and grows.</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remember that these are all just conceptual, you can’t buy them yet! Some may be closer to being produced than others, particularly when they come from a large company like Braun or Samsung. Otherwise, who knows if or when they will be available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With that said, here you have 100 amazing futuristic design concepts that will make you crave more.</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. Cloud Sofa</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />This is an elegant concept created by designer D.K. Wei. The Cloud sofa is supposed to give one the illusion of floating on their own personal cloud. A magnet in the base is supposed to generate enough magnetic force to hold the sofa aloft. The cloud is constructed from a plexiglass mold.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0000.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2. The iChat</span><br />This concept design was inspired by the curves and tapering of the Macbook Air coupled with the look of an iPod Touch. Rodolphe Desmare is responsible for this iPhone concept, which is more notable for its imagined features than its looks. The front camera would allow video conferencing on the iPhone, something that the blogosphere is already very excited about as a potential feature for the new release of the iPhone.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0001.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">3. iPhone 4G Concept</span><br /><br />This fantasy iPhone mimics both the look of Mac OS/X and the aluminum case of a MacBook Pro. We couldn’t suss out the real name of the designer but you can see more pictures from this designer under his handle “youngSpace” . The video capability in this design preceded the one in the iChat, above. The removable battery is also tantalizing.<br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/dkmb86g_315cwq2n2hk_b.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">4. Propulsion Powered Flying Cycle</span><br /><br />Created by designer Norio Fujikawa. This propulsion powered jetbike is a sci-fi concept that Fujikawa has taken to a whole new level in his design.

Underwater Jet Ski</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />Nereus is a conceptual design by Mathias Koehler for a watercraft that would allow you to travel on water and dive or submerge for short periods. Wind energy would be used to propel the vehicle which could take the user from a swimming to a diving position through the use of intuitive controls and movements of the upper body. Steering would be through the footrests which are connected to the back rudder.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0004.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">7. Watch Displaying Time in Sand</span><br /><br />Designer Balykin Pavel tells the time with digital sand in this Reddot Design Award winner for 2006.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0005.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">8.

It has 4 square screens to display hours, minutes, seconds and date information. The metallic finish and a strong magnetic grip closure complete the picture.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0012.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">16. The USBee</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />The USBee was designed to prevent the damage to USB drives seen so often with conventional USB use. The elastic neck will bend when pushed in any axis. This also means that it can fit into tight spaces where other USB drives dare not go. The lines at the end keep USBee cool and ergonomically pleasing. Designed by Serbian designer Damjan Stankovic.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0013.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">17.

Embrio – Bombardier’s Segway Killer</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Embrio was created by Bombardier as their answer to the Segway. They utilize similar gyroscope technology to keep riders aloft, but with a much cooler design that Bombardier hopes will attract a younger demographic. It also uses one less wheel than the Segway and is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. See Martin Aubé’s concept sketch, third from top, on this page.</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0017.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">21. Audi Shark – Flying Sportscar</span><br /><br />This impressive concept design by Kazim Doku is a flying sportscar.

This award-winning concept design is a two-seater that offers its passengers “strong sensations and high levels of safety”.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0018.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">22. Flee</span><br /><br />Flee is a concept by Hakan Bogazpinar which takes the idea of a tossable camera a few steps further. Bogazpinar has incorporated a tail into the design to keep the camera oriented properly and Bluetooth so that pictures it takes can be sent back to your mobile device in real time. When the “flee” is thrown in the air, it takes photos at customizable time intervals.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0019.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">23. Eolos Pipe</span><br /><br />The Eolos was also designed by Hakan Bogazpinar. This elegant pipe has two major features. When the basket portion of the pipe turns completely black as shown in the picture, the nicotine level is critical and the filter must be changed. The portion of the pipe that holds the tobacco is constructed with heat insulating composite, ensuring that the pipe is always cool to the touch.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0020.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">24.

Universal Charging Dock</span><br /><br />The Stream concept by Barton Smith consists of Experience Modules (Media, Memories, Connections, Documents, Creations, Games), a Core Component, Component Modules (processors, memory, graphics, power), a 3.5” Portable Display and Charging Cradle and Universal Charging Base. This product separates computer functions into six categories called ‘experiences’. Currently, if a user wishes to purchase a computer purely for documenting and internet they must accept that it will come with processing power and features well beyond these needs. With the Stream concept users would purchase only the Connections and Documents modules as well as the Core Component to perform only the desired functions. The Connections module also acts as a phone. Visit the product page for more information – there is lots of it.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0026.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">31. Tima</span><br /><br />Tima is a watch concept by Julien Bergignat that allows you to have both a digital display and a classic view of the time.

Peripheral Vision Eyeglasses</span><br /><br />The Nike Hindsight gives bicyclists a pair of bifocals for their peripheral vision. By using Fresnel lenses on the sides, riders can detect motion in a field of vision beyond the normal human limit of 180º. The obvious benefit is in the early warning of approaching vehicles, but a less obvious advantage is reducing the necessary head rotation to check behind. By Billy May.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0029.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">36.

The minutes are shown in double lines group; one for quarters and the other for 10 minutes for a convenient time reading. The gray line indicates the time of the alarm and it is shorter than the red line, which shows the time.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0030.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">37.

Steampunk My GPS</span><br /><br />The GPS Pathquest was designed to eliminate the need to ask for directions. A double-screen display unit which is constructed to look like a compass with E-Ink for conserving battery power is tricked out with brass accents that satisfy our inner Steampunks. Pocket-sized and discreet, the PathQuest relies on Google Maps for navigation. Designed by Kyle Fleischhacker.<br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/dkmb86g_324dzvvfchq_b.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">43. Sleek EGG Phone</span><br /><br />The Egg Phone by Roman Tubl offers incredible features like the screen which turns opaque once the phone is inactive or turned off.

Aerodynamic Concept Car</span><br /><br />This is an airflow concept design by Pierre Sabas. It features smooth and contoured lines that run throughout the entire car. The artist writes: “I believe that space sensation doesn’t depend on the size of the volume we are in but on the perception we have of the environment. Therefore, based on my structural solution, we can imagine new solutions in terms of design and driving experience.”<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0042.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">50.

Jetson Family Dining</span><br /><br />Turkish designer Fatih Can Sariöz created the Kure six-person dining set as an expression of his philosophy that family dinner times are special. It’s not much of a space-saver but it DOES glow with white light above and blue below. The whole thing folds up into a ball when not in use, making for a great conversation piece.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0051.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">61.

Segway Robot RMP</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />This Segway Robot RMP design looks like its been taken from a futuristic Science Fiction movie. Its tough wheels and base could probably carry more than just one person and could be used to haul things around.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0070.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">81. Noah High Performance Personal Vehicle</span><br /><br />The Noah, designed by Andrei França, is a Segway influenced design. Without a pedal, buttons, or levers, the Noah will react to the driver’s movements.

RITI Printer: Eco-Friendly Printer</span><br /><br />This cool printer idea was a finalist in the Greener Gadgets design competition. The printer would use your old coffee or tea grinds as ink. The user simply puts their scraps into the case, and voila – an ink source. The only issue is that the user needs to move the ink case back and forth in order to print…not something people are likely to want to do. Designed by Jeon Hwan Ju.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0077.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">88. Elegant Water Purifier</span><br /><br />This water purification device idea combines two things we love – simple design and reuseable water bottles. A user simply fills the BPA-free bottle with tap water, and, like a french press, pushes down on the water filter. Purified water can then be sipped from the container. Simple, elegant, and easy to use – three qualities we love in design – and it’s great for people who want to quench their thirst on the go, even if all that is available is a questionable water source. Designed by Gretha Oost, Paul Charlwood & Andrew Howley.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0078.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">89.

Designed by Young-Shin Lee & Hae-Jin Jung.<br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/dkmb86g_326d56zdpfs_b.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">93. Aperture: Volume-Aware Shower Head</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />A volume-aware shower head might just be the thing to put a cap on unecessarily long showers. The Aperture displays the volume of water consumed while showering and allows the user to mitigate water consumption with a built-in flow regulator.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0081.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">94. EcoTap: Twist-Off Power Socket</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />The EcoTap physically cuts power to devices by separating the electrical contacts at a wall socket. This method of turning off electronics ensures that even devices that draw power whilst idle/off are completely disconnected. Design by Osamu Kadono of Japan.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0082.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">95. Digital Pet Plant</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />The digital pet plant is designed to measure your plants health and provide feedback on a variety of factors which determine how well your plants are doing. Your plants show their digital emotions through smiley or frowning faces on the LED monitor. Designed by Junyi Heo.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0083.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">96. iCoffee </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Designer Alisson Wilson Ströher created the Nilko “IMO” coffee maker to fold up, look cool and brew three average sized packets of coffee. Now if we could only plug it in to a USB port.<br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/dkmb86g_327cxspg3cd_b.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">97. Eco & Ego Car</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />The idea behind this “EE” car is pets, yes pets. Not a dog or cat, but a plant. The plant sits above the engine bay in clear sight of the driver. It’s hooked up to some futuristic electronics and can tell you how “polluted” you were that day. There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog. Designed by Slava Saakyan.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0084.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">98. Have A Different Car Everyday</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />The MOY Concept car was made for a generation used to using media to express themselves. The idea is everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to their vehicle wirelessly or share it with others thru a website or even email. For those lacking creative skill, there’s a slew of templates to choose from. The car is always connected so imagine dynamically changing your vehicle’s skin in motion. Designed by Elvis Tomljenovic.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0085.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">99. Escape Into Your Cave</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />There are times that we wish we could have a little more privacy, retreating into our own space of quietness. Adults crave this just as much as children. With Cave, we are given the opportunity to embrace our escape. Created as a bookshelf with its own Cave inside, allowing the user to retreat with a good book, or just sit and relax in their space. The Cave bookshelf is large enough to be used as a divider between rooms creating a wall of separation of my space and yours. Available in two sizes: Children and Adult. Books may be stored on both sides of the bookcase with a cave crawlspace in between. Designed by Sakura Adachi.<br /><br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/EXTERN_0086.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">100. Braun Clever Care Medical Coach</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Designers Marc Salagnac, Ludovic Diallo and Cédric Dervillier bring you an electronic valet for your medications with the Braun Clever Care Medical System. We like the design of the touchscreen display. Apparently it not only stores all your medicines, but also syncs your medical records and prescriptions straight from the doctor’s office. It also provides a database to hold all medical records for the entire family and reminds you of appointments and times that you have to take pills.<br /><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/design_concepts/dkmb86g_328f8dzcxff_b.jpg" /><br /><br />Which one of these designs have inspired you to design, develop, and create?

Rated as an E-grade colourless diamond, its value is unknown.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white;">Audi, the company that brought you hybrid-diesel racecars, has an intriguing two-wheel concept vehicle: an ultra-light carbon fiber electric bicycle that has WiFi built in, can hit 50 mph, and even has a Segway-like mode that lets it run on just its back wheel (apparently clever computers and gyroscopes will keep you balanced).</span></div>
<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white;">Audi unveiled it at the 2012 Wörthersee Tour in Austria — and the e-bike itself is also called Wörthersee (which happens to be a beautiful lake in Austria). The carbon fiber frame weighs just 3.53 pounds (1.6kg) — but with a 2.3kW electric motor and lithium ion battery the bike’s total weight is 24lbs (11kg). It’s pegged as a high-performance bike for trick cycling, including the ability to ride on its back wheel alone in two of the five modes: Pure, Pedelec, eGrip, Power Wheelie, and Balanced Wheelie.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">

The battery can be charged in 2.5 hours or quickly swapped. It’s also outfitted with WiFi and a smartphone that provides electronic controls for the bike as well as unlocking the bike — so someone else doesn’t use your bike to pop their wheelies. Price and availability? Be patient, says Audi, all in good time.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 0.825em;">
<span style="color: white; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Many automakers also sell performance bikes as lifestyle accessories, but nothing like</span><span style="color: white;"> Audi’s e-bike. BMW i Ventures, the New York City-based venture fund for mobility related investments, is providing seed money for a more mainstream electric bicycle that would be light and foldable. Drive to the train station in the suburbs, carry the bike on board, get to your destination city, unfold the bike, and motor electrically to your office a mile or two away.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.7;">
The Second Spot on our list is occupied by the gorgeous Miley Cyrus, the embodiment of the fabled Hannah Montana. She has a reported net worth of $100 million, just a bit less than Bieber boy. It seems like she got tired of being a teenager so she has started rather mature projects, new movies and musical styles. She started her entertainment career at the tender age of 8, having joined her father, Billy Rae Cyrus, fabled country music star, for the 2001 “Doc” TV Series. At 15 she posed topless for Vanity Fair, thus controversies came adjacent to her flowering career. Due to being so juvenile at the time of the photo shoot, her pictures jumped in value from $300 to a whopping $2,000.</div>

1. Justin Bieber</h1>

<div style="line-height: 1.7;">
Number 1 on our list is the guy every young girl loves, the one and only Justin Bieber. One of the most important figures in modern day pop entertainment, he has already made a lot of loot through popularity and voice. His personal net worth is around $110 million. Curiously enough, he has earned a staggering $55 million between May 2011 and May 2012, according to Forbes 2012 Top-Earning Celebrities under 30. Justin Bieber boasts with records in the Top 100 Billboard and tons of TV appearances, in movies, concerts and shows. His history is quite intriguing, as he was discovered on YouTube back in 2008 and was directly referred to Usher, with whom he signed a recording contract. A true star for teenage girls, he has sold 15 million albums as of May 2012. </div>

<br /><span class="post-likes"><span class="post-liketext"></span></span>More than a quarter of all people in the world belong to
Eastern religions, which include Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and
Taoism. These people worship in temples, which are architecturally as
diverse as the religions are different from each other. From the ancient
ruins of Ankor Wat to the distinctly modern Wat Rong Khun, there are
hundreds if not thousands of amazing temples in the world.I have
long been fascinated by the temples and sacred sites of Eastern
religions. After doing an article on some amazing churches from around
the world (10 Divinely Designed Churches), it's only right that we do a follow up on the ten most fascinating temples in Asia. Here they are, in no particular order:<br />
<h2>
Tiger's Nest Monastery</h2>
Tiger's
Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high
cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan. Legend has
it that Guru Rinpoche , the second Buddha, flew onto the cliff on the back of a
tigress, and then meditated in a cave which now exists within the
monastery walls.<br />
The monastery, formally called Taktshang Goemba,
was built in 1692 and reconstructed in 1998 after a fire. Now, the
monastery is restricted to practicing Buddhists on religious retreats
and is off-limits to ordinary tourists.<br />

<div align="center">
<img height="374" src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-09/taktshang-monastery.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div>
<h2>
Wat Rong Khun</h2>
Wat
Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Thailand is unlike any Buddhist temples in the
world. The all-white, highly ornate structure gilded in mosaic mirrors
that seem to shine magically, is done in a distinctly contemporary
style. It is the brainchild of renowned Thai artist Chalermchai
Kositpipat.<br />
Actually, the temple is still under construction.
Chalermchai expects it will take another 90 years to complete, making it
the Buddhist temple equivalent of the Sagrada Familia church in
Barcelona, Spain!<br />
<div align="center">

<h2>
Prambanan</h2>
<div align="left">
Prambanan
is a Hindu temple in Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built in
850 CE, and is composed of 8 main shrines and 250 surrounding smaller
ones.</div>
<div align="left">
Nearly all the walls of the temple are covered
in exquisite bas relief carvings, which narrate stories of Vishnu's
incarnations, adventures of Hanuman the Monkey King, the Ramayana epic and other legends.</div>
<div align="left">
Though
not the biggest temple in Indonesia (Borobudur is larger - see below),
Prambanan makes up in beauty and grace for what it lacks in size.</div>
<div align="center">

<h2 align="left">
Shwedagon Pagoda</h2>
<div align="left">
No one knows exactly when the Shwedagon Paya (or Pagoda) in Myanmar was built - legend has it that it is
2,500 years old though archaeologists estimate that it was built between
the 6th and 10th century.</div>
<div align="left">
Now, when people say
"golden temple" they usually mean that the structure is golden in color.
But when it comes to the Shwedagon Pagoda, golden literally means
covered in gold! In the 15th century, a queen of the Mon people donated
her weight in gold to the temple. This tradition continues until today,
where pilgrims often save for years to buy small packets of gold leafs
to stick to the temple walls.</div>
<div align="left">
As if all that gold
wasn't enough, the spire of the stupa or dome is covered with over 5,000
diamonds and 2,000 rubies (there's even a 76 carat diamond at the very
tip!). And oh, the temple housed one of the holiest relics in Buddhism:
eight strands of Buddha's hair.</div>

<h2 align="left">
Temple of Heaven</h2>
<div align="left">
The Temple of Heaven is a Taoist temple in Beijing, the capital of China. The temple
was constructed in 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty
(who also built the Forbidden City) as his personal temple, where he
would pray for good harvest and to atone for the sins of his people.</div>
<div align="left">
The
Temple's architecture is quite interesting: everything in the temple,
which represents Heaven, is circular whereas the ground levels, which
represent the Earth, are square.</div>
<div align="center">

<h2 align="left">
Chion-in Temple</h2>
<div align="left">
Chion-in Temple
was built in 1234 CE to honor the founder of Jodo (Pure Land)
Buddhism, a priest named Honen, who fasted to death in the very spot. At
one point in time, the complex had 21 buildings but due to earthquakes
and fire, the oldest surviving building is from the 17th century.</div>
<div align="left">
Visitors
to the Chion-in Temple must first pass through the largest gate in
Japan: the two-story San-mon Gate. The temple bell is also a record
setter: it weighs 74 tons and needs 17 monks to ring it during the New
Year celebrations.</div>
<div align="left">
Another interesting feature of the Chion-in Temple is the "singing" floor of the Assembly Hall. Called a <em>uguisu-bari</em> or nightingale floor, the wooden planks were designed to creak at every footstep to alert the monks of intruders!</div>

<h2 align="left">
Borobudur</h2>
<div align="left">
In
the 19th century, Dutch occupiers of Indonesia found a massive ancient
ruin deep in the jungles of Java. What they discovered was the complex
of Borobudur, a gigantic structure built with nearly 2 million cubic
feet (55,000 m³) of stones. The temple has nearly 2,700 relief panels
and 504 Buddha statues.</div>
<div align="left">
Until today, no one knows for
sure when and why it was built, nor the reason for its complete
abandonment hundreds of years ago. Some scholars believe that Borobudur
is actually a giant textbook of Buddhism, as its bas reliefs tell the
story of the life of Buddha and the principles of his teachings. To
"read," a pilgrim must make his way through nine platforms and walk a
distance of over 2 miles.</div>

<h2 align="left">
Golden Temple</h2>
<div align="left">
The Harmandir Sahib (meaning <em>The Abode of God</em>) or simply the Golden Temple in Punjab, India is the most sacred shrine of Sikhism. For the
Sikhs, the Golden Temple symbolizes infinite freedom and spiritual
independence.</div>
<div align="left">
The site of the Temple began with a
small lake that was so peaceful that even Buddha came there to meditate.
Thousands of years later, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism also lived
and meditate by the lake.</div>
<div align="left">
Construction of the Golden Temple began in the 1500s, when the fourth Guru of Sikhism enlarged the lake that became Amritsar or <em>Pool of the Nectar of Immortality</em>,
around which the temple and the city grew. The Temple itself is
decorated with marble sculptures, gilded in gold, and covered in
precious stones.</div>

<h2 align="left">
Vishnu Temple of Srirangam</h2>
<div align="left">
The Temple of Srirangam (Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple), in the Indian city of Tiruchirapalli (or Trichy), is the
largest functioning Hindu temple in the world (Ankor Wat is the largest
of all temple, but it is currently non-functioning as a temple - see
below).</div>
<div align="left">
The temple is dedicated to Vishnu, one of
three Gods in Hinduism. Legend has it that a long time ago, a sage
rested and put down a statue of Vishnu reclining on a great serpent.
When he was ready to resume his journey, he discovered that the statue
couldn't be moved, so a small temple was built over it. Over centuries,
the temple "grew" as larger ones were built over the existing buildings.</div>
<div align="left">
The
temple complex is massive: it encompasses an area of over 150 acres (63
hectares) with seven concentric walls, the outermost being about 2.5
miles (4 kilometers) long! The walls demarcate enclosures within
enclosures, each more sacred than the next, with the inner-most
enclosure is forbidden to non-Hindus.</div>
<div align="left">
The Temple of Srirangam is famous for its <em>gopurams</em>
or entrances beneath colorful pyramids. The temple has 21 gopurams
total, with the largest one having 15 stories and is nearly 200 feet (60
m) tall.</div>

<h2 align="left">
Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Bayon</h2>
<div align="left">
Last
but definitely not least is the largest temple in history and the
inspiration to countless novels and action movies of Hollywood: Ankor
Wat.</div>
<div align="left">
Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century in what is now Cambodia. The
world famous temple was first a Hindu one, dedicated to Vishnu. In the
14th or 15th century, as Buddhism swept across Asia, it became a
Buddhist temple.</div>
<div align="left">
The Western world's got a glimpse of
Angkor Wat when a 16th century Portuguese monk visited the temple and
eloquently described it as "<em>of such extraordinary construction that
it is not possible to describe it with a pen, particularly since it is
like no other building in the world. It has towers and decoration and
all the refinements which the human genius can conceive of.</em>" His words still rang true today.</div>
<div align="left">
Tourists visiting Angkor Wat usually also visit the nearby ruins of Angkor Thom and Bayon, two fantastic temples that serve as the ancient capital of Khmer empire.</div>
<div align="center">

which described by Maurice Glaize, an Angkor conservator of the 1940s,

Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple</h2>
<div align="left">
Potala Palace , built on top of the Red Mountain in Lhasa, Tibet, China was
built by the first emperor of Tibet in 637 CE. The current palace was
re-constructed in the mid-1600s by the fifth Dalai Lama.</div>
<div align="left">
The
Palace consists of two main buildings, the Potrang Karpo (White Palace)
and Portrang Marpo (Red Palace). It was the chief home of the
fourteenth and current Dalai Lama until he was forced to flee to India
when China invaded Tibet in 1959. It is now a state museum.</div>

<div align="left">
Jokhan Temple is the spiritual center of Lhasa and is considered the most
important and sacred temple in Tibet. The temple was built in 642 CE and
has since housed the single most venerated object in Tibetan Buddhism: a
statue of Gautama Buddha , the founder of Buddhism.</div>
<div align="left">
The
city of Lhasa has three concentric paths that pilgrims use to walk to
Jokhang Temple. Many actually prostrate themselves along these routes in
order to gain spiritual merit!</div>

Varanasi</h2>
<div align="left">
Varanasi
in India is not a temple, but ais ctually a famous Hindu holy city,
located at the banks of the Ganges River. It is, however, often called
the "City of Temples," where almost every road crossing has a nearby
temple. A center of pilgrimage (as many as a million pilgrims visit
Varanasi each year), the city has links to Buddhism and Jainism as well.</div>

<em>"A tree is a wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, <br />warmth and protection to all living things. It even gives shade to <br />those who wield an axe to cut it down</em>" - Buddha.</div>
<div align="left">
There are probably hundreds of majestic and magnificent trees in the world - of these, some are particularly special:</div>
<h2>
10. Lone Cypress in Monterey</h2>
<div align="center">
<img alt="The Lone Cypress " height="354" src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-03/lone-cypress.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div>

Buffeted by the cold Pacific Ocean wind,<strong> </strong>the scraggly Lone Cypress (<em>Cupressus macrocarpa</em>)
in Pebble Beach, Monterey Peninsula, California, isn't a particularly
large tree. It makes up for its small size, however, with its iconic
status as a stunningly beautiful tree in splendid isolation, framed by
an even more beautiful background of the Pacific Ocean.<br />
<h2>
9. Circus Trees</h2>
As a hobby, bean farmer Axel Erlandson shaped trees - he pruned, bent, and grafted trees into fantastic shapes and called them "Circus Trees."
For example, to make this "Basket Tree" arborsculpture, Erlandson
planted six sycamore trees in a circle and then grafted them together to
form the diamond patterns.<br />
<div align="center">

Erlandson
was very secretive and refused to reveal his methods on how to grow the
Circus Trees (he even carried out his graftings behind screens to
protect against spies!) and carried the secrets to his grave.<br />
The trees were later bought by millionaire Michael Bonfante, who transplanted them to his amusement park Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy in 1985.<br />
<h2>
8. Giant Sequoias: General Sherman</h2>
<div align="center">
<img alt="General Sherman Tree" height="1023" src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-03/general-sherman-sequoia.jpg" width="355" /><br /></div>
<div align="left">
Giant Sequoias (<em>Sequoiadendron giganteum</em>), which only grow in Sierra Nevada, California, are the world's biggest trees (in terms of volume). The biggest is General Sherman in the Sequoia National Park - one behemoth of a tree at 275
feet (83.8 m), over 52,500 cubic feet of volume (1,486 m³), and over
6000 tons in weight.</div>
<div align="left">
General Sherman is approximately
2,200 years old - and each year, the tree adds enough wood to make a
regular 60-foot tall tree. It's no wonder that naturalist John Muir said
"The Big Tree is Nature's forest masterpiece, and so far as I know, the
greatest of living things."</div>
<div align="left">
For over a century there was a fierce competition for the title of the largest tree: besides General Sherman, there is General Grant at King's Canyon National Park, which actually has a <br />larger circumference (107.5 feet / 32.77 m vs. Sherman's 102.6 feet / 31.27 m).</div>
<div align="left">
In 1921, a team of surveyors carefully measured the two <br />giants - with their data, and according to the complex American Forestry Association system
of judging a tree, General Grant should have been award the title of
largest tree - however, to simplify the matter, it was later determined
that in this case, volume, not point system, should be the determining
factor.</div>
<h2>
7. Coast Redwood: Hyperion and Drive-Thru Trees</h2>
<img alt="Stratosphere Giant" class="imageleft alignleft" height="640" src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-03/stratosphere-giant.jpg" width="166" />There is another sequoia species (not to be confused with Giant Sequoia) that is quite remarkable: the Coast Redwood (<em>Sequoia sempervirens</em>), the tallest trees in the world.<br />
The reigning champion is a tree called Hyperion
in the Redwood National Park, identified by researcher Chris Atkins and
amateur naturalist Michael Taylor in 2006. Measuring over 379 feet (<del datetime="2007-03-22T02:22:02+00:00">155.6</del> 115 m) tall, Hyperion beat out the previous record holder Stratosphere Giant in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park (at 370 feet / 112.8 m).<br />
The
scientists aren't talking about the exact location of Hyperion: the
terrain is difficult, and they don't want a rush of visitors to come and
trample the tree's root system.<br />
[Image: The Stratosphere Giant - still an impressive specimen, previously the world's tallest tree until dethroned by Hyperion in 2006.]<br />
That's
not all that's amazing about the Coast Redwood: there are four giant
California redwoods big enough that you can drive your car through them!<br />
<div align="left">
The most famous of the drive-through trees is the Chandelier Tree in Leggett, California. It's a 315 foot tall redwood tree, with a
6 foot wide by 9 foot tall hole cut through its base in the 1930s.</div>
<div align="center">

<h2>
6. Chapel-Oak of Allouville-Bellefosse</h2>
<div align="center">

<img alt="Chapel Oak Tree" height="333" src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-03/chapel-oak-allouville.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div>
The Chêne-Chapelle (Chapel-Oak) of Allouville-Bellefosse is the most famous tree in France - actually, it's more than just a tree: it's a building and a religious monument all in one.<br />
In 1669, l'Abbe du Detroit and du Cerceau decided to build a chapel in (at that time) a 500 years old or so oak (<em>Quercus robur</em>)
tree made hollow by a lightning bolt. The priests built a small altar
to the Virgin Mary. Later on, a second chapel and a staircase were
added.<br />
Now, parts of the tree are dead, the crown keeps becoming
smaller and smaller every year, and parts of the tree's bark, which fell
off due to old age, are covered by protective oak shingles. Poles and
cables support the aging tree, which in fact, may not live much longer.
As a symbol, however, it seems that the Chapel-Oak of
Allouville-Bellefosse may live on forever.<br />
<h2>
5. Quaking Aspen: Pando (The Trembling Giant)</h2>
<div align="center">

<div align="left">
or the Trembling Giant in Utah is actually a colony of a single Quaking Aspen (<em>Populus tremuloides</em>)
tree. All of the trees (technically, "stems") in this colony are
genetically identical (meaning, they're exact clones of one another). In
fact, they are all a part of a single living organism with an enormous
underground root system.</div>
<div align="left">
Pando, which is Latin for "I
Spread," is composed of about 47,000 stems spread throughout 107 acres
of land. It estimated to weigh 6,600 tons, making it the heaviest known
organism. Although the average age of the individual stems are 130
years, the entire organism is estimated to be about 80,000 years old!</div>
<h2>
4. Montezuma Cypress: The Tule Tree</h2>
<div align="center">

of the tree's gnarled trunk. Local legends say that you can make out
animals like jaguars and elephants in the trunk, giving the tree the
nickname of "the Tree of Life" </div>
El Árbol del Tule [wiki] ("The Tule Tree") is an especially large Montezuma cypress (<em>Taxodium mucronatum</em>)
near the city of Oaxaca, Mexico. This tree has the largest trunk girth
at 190 feet (58 m) and trunk diameter at 37 feet (11.3 m). The Tule tree
is so thick that people say you don't hug this tree, it hugs you
instead!<br />
For a while, detractors argued that it was actually three
trees masquerading as one - however, careful DNA analysis confirmed
that it is indeed one magnificent tree.<br />
In 1994, the tree (and
Mexican pride) were in jeopardy: the leaves were sickly yellow and there
were dead branches everywhere- the tree appeared to be dying. When tree
"doctors" were called in, they diagnosed the problem as dying of
thirst. The prescription? Give it water. Sure enough, the tree soon
recovered after a careful watering program was followed.<br />
<h2>
3. Banyan Tree: Sri Maha Bodhi Tree</h2>
The
Banyan tree is named after "banians" or Hindu traders who carry out
their business under the tree. Even if you have never heard of a Banyan
tree (it was the tree used by Robinson Crusoe for his treehouse), you'd
still recognize it. The shape of the giant tree is unmistakable: it has a
majestic canopy with aerial roots running from the branches to the
ground.<br />
<div align="center">

If
you were thinking that the Banyan tree looks like the trees whose roots
snake through the ruins of the Ta Prohm temple like tentacles of the
jungle (Lara Croft, anyone?) at Ankor, Cambodia , you'd be right!<br />
<div align="center">

One of the most famous species of Banyan, called the Sacred Fig [wiki] or Bo tree, is the Sri Maha Bodhi
[wiki] tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is said that the tree was
grown from a cutting from the original tree under which Buddha became
enlightened in the 6th century BC.<br />
Planted in 288 BC, it is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world, with a definitive planting date!<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Bristlecone Pine: Methuselah and Prometheus, the Oldest Trees in the World.</span></h2>
<div align="center">

The oldest living tree in the world is a White Mountains, California, bristlecone pine (<em>Pinus longaeva</em>) named Methuselah
[wiki], after the Biblical figure who lived to 969 years old. The
Methuselah tree, found at 11,000 feet above sea level, is 4,838 years
old - it is not only the oldest tree but also the oldest living
non-clonal organism in the world.<br />
Before Methuselah was identified
as the world's oldest tree by Edmund Schulman in 1957, people thought
that the Giant Sequoias were the world's oldest trees at about 2,000
years old. Schulman used a borer to obtain a core sample to count the
growth rings of various bristlecone pines, and found over a dozen trees
over 4,000 years old.<br />
The story of Prometheus [wiki] is even more interesting: in 1964, Donald R. Currey
[wiki], then a graduate student, was taking core samples from a tree
named Prometheus. His boring tool broke inside the tree, so he asked for
permission from the US Forest Service to cut it down and examine the
full cross section of the wood. Surprisingly the Forest Service agreed!
When they examined the tree, Prometheus turned out to be about 5,000
years old, which would have made it the world's oldest tree when the
scientist unwittingly killed it!<br />

<div align="left">
Today,
to protect the trees from the inquisitive traveler, the authorities are
keeping their location secret (indeed, there are no photos identifying
Methuselah for fear of vandalism).</div>
<h2>
1. Baobab</h2>
The amazing baobab [wiki] (<em>Adansonia</em>)
or monkey bread tree can grow up to nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall and 35
feet (11 m) wide. Their defining characteristic: their swollen trunk are
actually water storage - the baobab tree can store as much as 31,700
gallon (120,000 l) of water to endure harsh drought conditions.<br />
Baobab
trees are native to Madagascar (it's the country's national tree!),
mainland Africa, and Australia. A cluster of "the grandest of all"
baobab trees (<em>Adansonia grandidieri</em>) can be found in the Baobab Avenue, near Morondava, in Madagascar:<br />

and the surrounding land by Dr. William Henry Jackson in 1820! The
original tree had died long ago, but a new tree (Son of The Tree That
Owns Itself) was planted at the same location from one of its acorns.</div>

<div align="left">
The Tree of Ténéré
or L'Abre du Ténéré was the world's most isolated tree - the solitary
acacia, which grew in the Sahara desert in Niger, Africa, was the only
tree within more than 250 miles (400 km) around.</div>
<div align="left">
The
tree was the last surviving member of a group of acacias that grew when
the desert wasn't as dry. When scientists dug a hole near the tree, they
found its roots went down as deep as 120 feet (36 m) below to the water
table!</div>
<div align="left">
Apparently, being the only tree in that part
of the wide-open desert (remember: there wasn't another tree for 250
miles around), wasn't enough to stop a drunk Libyan truck driver from
driving his truck into it, knocking it down and killing it!</div>
<div align="left">
Now, a metal sculpture was placed in its spot to commemorate the Lonely Tree of Ténéré:</div>

There’s something majestic about the very oldest of trees
and how they witnessed the rise and fall of numerous civilizations. Who
hasn’t heard about General Sherman – the largest known living single
stem tree in the world – or Old Tjikko – the Earth’s oldest (9,550
years) living individual clonal tree?I find Julian Hight’s quote to be the most representative for this list: “<i>Ancient
trees are a living link to our past and they often provide a fragile
constant in an ever-changing world. This is their story, but in equal
measure it is also ours. Each tree has its own distinct shape and
character which it carries through its lifetime.</i>”<br />
With this in mind, let’s learn more about some of the world’s most
fascinating trees: not just the oldest ones, but the ones with a
“distinct shape and character.” There are probably hundreds of
spectacular trees, but the following ten really caught my attention:<br />

<b>10. Angel Oak </b></h2>
<img alt="Angel Oak Tree" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19256" height="413" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angel-oak-top10-trees.jpg" title="angel-oak-top10-trees" width="550" /><br />
Located in South Carolina, on Johns Island, the 1,500 year-old Angel
Oak shades with its widely spreading canopy an area of 17,200 square
feet.<br />
This magnificent tree is thought to be one of the oldest living
organisms east of the Mississippi River. With a circumference of 28 feet
and branches over 100 feet long, Angel Oak has survived numerous natural disasters, including earthquakes (the Great Charleston Earthquake of 1886), floods and hurricanes (Hurricane Hugo in 1989).<br />

<b>9.</b><b> </b><b>Elia Bouybon</b>, Olive Tree of Vouves</h2>
<img alt="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/olive_tree_of_vouves-top-10-trees.jpg" class="decoded" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/olive_tree_of_vouves-top-10-trees.jpg" /><br />
Can you trust that the world’s oldest olive tree still produces tasty
olives every year? Estimated by the scientists from the University of
Crete to be between 3,500 and 4,000 years old, the Olive Tree of Vouves
is 15 feet thick at the base.<br />
The ancient olive tree is visited by approximately 20.000 people every year. It is located in the village of Ano Vouves, Crete.<br />

<br />
The rare Dragon’s Blood Tree (<i>Dracaena cinnabari</i>) is also
known as the Socotra Dragon Tree in Yemen. It is arguably the most
famous plant of the Yemeni island of Socotra. I wrote about this amazing
place in Top 10 Unusual Landscapes.
Unesco.org claims that “37% of Socotra’s 825 plant species, 90% of its
reptile species and 95% of its land snail species do not occur anywhere
else in the world.”<br />
The Dragon Tree resembles an umbrella. The tree’s name originates
from its tendency to ooze a red sap, or resin. The local inhabitants
still use the Dragon’s blood resin as a cure-all, in cosmetic products
or to paint local pottery.<br />

<b>7. El Árbol del Tule, Tule Tree</b></h2>
<img alt="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/tule-tree.jpg" class="decoded" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/tule-tree.jpg" /><br />
This massive Tule Tree is a 116 feet high Montezuma cypress tree (<i>Taxodium mucronatum</i>) located in Oaxaca, Mexico. Each branch could itself be an independent tree.<br />
The trunk’s circumference measures 119 feet. It is so large that
scientists originally thought that multiple trunks fused together, but
DNA tests proved otherwise. The Ahuehuete Tree of Santa María del Tule
“is a single genetic individual” (Dorado, O., Avila, G. et al. – <i>The Árbol del Tule</i>, 1996).<br />
<h2>
<b>6. </b><b>Teapot Baobab</b></h2>

All eight species of Adansonia are spectacular. The African Baobab (<i>Adansonia digitata L.</i>)
is native to mainland Africa, but can be found also in Asia and the
Arabian Peninsula. Six of these species are native to Madagascar –
Grandidier’s Baobab (<i>Adansonia grandidieri Baill</i>), Madagascar Baobab (<i>Adansonia madagascariensis Baill</i>), Perrier’s Baobab (<i>Adansonia perrieri Capuron</i>), Fony Baobab (<i>Adansonia rubrostipa Jum &H.Perrier</i>), Suarez Baobab (<i>Adansonia suarezensis H.Perrier</i>), Za Baobab (<i>Adansonia za Baill</i>) – and one is endemic to Australia, the Australian Baobab (<i>Adansonia gregorii F.Muell</i>).
The Avenue of the Baobabs in Madagascar remains one of the few places
where most of these species can be observed in one place.<br />
Interesting is how some Baobab trees take the form of bottles, even
teapots. They are located in Ifaty, Madagascar. The above Teapot Baobab
is 1,200 years old.<br />
The Baobab can store more than 31,000 US gallons of water (120,000 liters) to endure the severe drought conditions.<br />

<b>5. The Trees from Ta Phrom</b></h2>
<br />

The trees
growing out of the ruins of Ta Prohm, a Cambodian temple, are
fascinating. There are two main species that predominate in Ta Prohm.
Some specialists claim that the larger tree (see picture) is a Silk
Cotton tree (<i>Ceiba pentandra</i>), others think that it’s a Thitpok (<i>Tetrameles nudiflora</i>). The smaller one seems to be a Strangler Fig tree. The giant tree roots attract thousands of visitors each year.<br />
<h2>
<b>4. Methuselah </b></h2>
<b> </b>The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (<i>Pinus longaeva</i>) is a long-living species that occurs in a relatively narrow latitudinal range in Utah, Nevada and California.
This pine grows extremely slowly and, amazingly, the needles and leaves
can remain green for over 40 years (Ewers & Schmid 1981).<br />
Methuselah is the oldest living non-clonal organism on Earth. The
pine was 4,789 years old when Tom Harlan and Edmund Schulman sampled it
in 1957. The 4,843 year-old tree grows in California’s White Mountains,
but its exact location has been undisclosed to prevent acts of
vandalism.<br />
<h2>
<b>3. Silk Floss Tree </b></h2>
<img alt="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/silk-floss-tree-top-10-trees.jpg" class="decoded" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/silk-floss-tree-top-10-trees.jpg" /><br />
The beautiful Silk Floss tree (<i>Ceiba speciosa</i>) is one of the
many members of the mallow family. Endemic to tropical and subtropical
forests of South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina etc.), this tree
sometimes reaches more than 81 feet in height. Its trunk and branches
are studded with sharp conical prickles (giant spines), which help it to
conserve water for subsequent dry periods.<br />
The beautiful red, pink or purple flowers measure four to six inches in diameter and are “followed by pear shaped
capsules filled with many seeds embedded in silky white floss,”
according to Floridata.com. This silk is sometimes collected and used to
stuff cushions.<b><br />

<b>2. Rainbow Eucalyptus</b></h2>
<h2>
<b><img alt="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/rainbow-eucalyptus.jpg" class="decoded" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/rainbow-eucalyptus.jpg" /> </b></h2>
<br />
The Rainbow Eucalyptus (<i>Eucalyptus deglupta</i>) is a huge
evergreen tree that can reach heights of 246 feet. The Rainbow
Eucalyptus, also known as Mindanao Gum, has a geographic distribution
that extends from the Indonesian archipelago to the Philippines. What
make this tree so special are the striking stripes of yellow, green,
pink, red, purple and orange on its branches and trunk. Believe it or
not, these beautiful colors are an entirely natural feature. The
Eucalyptus’ bark is smooth, “and as it grows, it exfoliates thin layers
of spent tissue. This process occurs in irregular zones at different
times. As the newly exposed bark slowly ages, it changes from bright
green to a darker green, then bluish to purplish, and then pink-orange.
Since this process is happening in different zones of the trunk and in
different stages, simultaneously, the colors
are varied and almost constantly changing. As a result, the tree will
never have the same color pattern twice, making it like a work of living
art,” said LariAnn Garner, a research botanist at Aroidia Research in
Florida City.<br />
<h2>
<b>1. Tree of Life</b></h2>
<img alt="Tree of Life" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-19264" height="275" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/tree-of-life-top-10-trees-570x275.jpg" title="tree-of-life-top-10-trees" width="570" /><br />
There are numerous examples of long-living clonal colonies of trees,
but there’s something magnificent about a 400-year-old tree able to
survive in the middle of the desert without any known source of water. The fact that it stands<b> alone </b>since
centuries is mind-blowing. The ancient mesquite tree in Bahrain is
considered a natural wonder. The Tree of Life is located about 2 km from
Jebel Dukhan. To really appreciate the uniqueness of the mesquite, try
to view it in Google Earth. You will see that it’s pretty far from any form of vegetation.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">It is surprising to see the list of top 10 expensive new cars unexpectedly. Forget the Ferrari 458 or the $300,000 Lamborghini Aventador a seven at the low end of the scale they start right around the one million mark.</span><div class="entry" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The current world’s most expensive car is the Maybach Exelero. The one-off custom built Maybach was revealed in May 2005 at the Tempodrom in Berlin. The built by Stola in Turin is a one-off vehicle designed to showcase the new high tech performance of the Exelero Tyre range from the leading tyre maker Fulda. These two companies have not teamed up for the first time because way back in 1938 Fulda showed its tyres on a Mayback SW 38 limousine. Now there are to produce the model in the series registered for on-road use. This New Exelero will be limited to just 10 pieces having the cost of $8 to $10million dollars.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-right: 10px;">
The exelero, commissioned by the tyre company Fulda is a chopped-down two-seater coupe. Though it is much more than just a show car. During the tests at the Nardo high-speed oval, the model reached the top speed of 218.38 miles per hour even though it weighed around 2.6 tonnes. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. The design of the car is the result of the competition among the students at the Pforzheim Polytechnic Department of Transport Design which has designed the show vehicles for Fulda during the past. The designing of the 24 year old Fredrik Burchhard was selected and the entire work was coordinated with Mayback design centre in Sindelfingen. Basing on the Maybach 57 limousine the project required a certain amount of re-engineering: the A-pillar and the doors were to be shifted backwards and the steering column, the pedals and the gearshift had to be relocated altogether. The benchmark 550- bhp v12 engine was prepared for 5.9 litres and tuned for 700 bhp with over 738 lb ft of torque. The final dimensions which were 5890mm long, 2140mm wide and just 1390 mm high the car was packed with a full-spec interior that included leather, neoprene, aluminium and the carnbonfibre finishes. Rapper Bryan “Birdman” Williams, reportedly spent $8,000,000 on the one-off Maybach Exelero coupe. The rapper has a <a href="http://www.therichest.org/celebnetworth/celeb/rappers/birdman-net-worth/" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">net worth of $125 million</span></a>.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-right: 10px;">
The fastest and the second most expensive car is the Bugatti Veyron Supersport – what more is there to know? At a whopping $2.6 million the Bugatti Veyron Supersport is the ultimate Bugatti and a test case of how far the VW engineers can go. By getting 1,200 hp from a quad-turbo 8.0 liter w16 engine and the standard built aerodynamics help it reach to the top speed of 267.81 mph. Plus, unlike a lot of rough-around-the-edges hypercars, the Veyron will keep you in the luxury.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-right: 10px;">
Have a Ferrari 559 and then turn it into a race only supercar and you get the 599XX. It is being powered by a 700-hp model of the factory V12 engine as there are no turbos or the superchargers here. Moreover you can accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. As a follow up to the Ferrari FXX this model was built in a few numbers for the much pampered Ferrari owners who are welcomed to speed drive their cars at the exclusive track events.

<strong>Usain Bolt, Jamaica, 9.58.</strong> Bolt, who was once a 200-meter specialist, broke the 100-meter world mark for the third time during a thrilling showdown with Tyson Gay
at the World Outdoor Championships in Berlin on Aug. 16, 2009. The
Jamaican pulled ahead of Gay early in the race and never let up,
finishing in 9.58 seconds. The victory came exactly one year after Bolt
broke the record for the second time, winning the 2008 Olympic gold
medal in 9.69.<br />

<strong>Michael Johnson, USA, 43.18.</strong>
Many expected Johnson to eventually break Butch Reynolds' mark of 43.29
seconds, set in 1988, but 1999 seemed an unlikely year for the record
to fall. Johnson suffered from leg injuries that season, missed the U.S.
Championships and ran only four 400-meter races before the World
Championships (where he gained an automatic entry as the defending
champ). By the day of the World final, however, it was apparent that
Johnson was in top form and that Reynolds' record was in jeopardy.
Johnson pulled away from the pack in mid-race and sprinted into the
history books.<br />

Former record-holder Wilson Kipketer (1:41.11) once told David Rudisha
that he could be the one to break Kipketer's mark. Kipketer was right.
Rudisha broke the record on Aug. 22, 2010, running 1:41.09 in Berlin.
One week later, on Aug. 29, Rudisha lowered the mark to 1:41.01 at the
IAAF World Challenge meet in Rieti, Italy. Rudisha followed his

<b>ASUS Smartphone Concept is Both Fat and Phat</b></h3>
<div class="entry">
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="0980819a55" id="post-ratings-8946"></span>Dreaming
of a quad core ASUS phone with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board? That’s
exactly what you get today, courtesy of Deviantart member rodrigoDSCT,
who admires ASUS and decided to create this concept. We’re talking about
a smartphone with rounded edges, that make it look a bit “fat”, so to
say. It measures 8mm in thickness and weighs 120 grams.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="ASUS Smartphone Concept is Both Fat and Phat" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8947" height="184" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ASUS_smartphone_concept.png" title="ASUS_smartphone_concept" width="490" /></div>
This ASUS smartphone is supposed to come in black or white and
feature a 4.5 inch 720p display with Super AMOLED tech and Gorilla Glass
II. Other features include 1.5GB of RAM, 16/32/64GB of storage and a
quad core 1.5 GHz Tegra CPU. The handset runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and
has updates guaranteed for two years, according to the designer. At the
back there’s an 8 megapixel camera, the same one from the Sony Xperia
Arc and iPhone 4S, while at the front we find a 1.3 megapixel cam.<br />
Other feats include two microphones, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a loud
speaker at the back. The rest of the specs are considered similar to the
Sony Xperia S and HTC One X. There’s a lot of finesse put into the
design of the camera area on this device and its facade looks very much
like a HTC to me. What do you think about this ASUS phone concept?<br />

Google Nexus 2013 Concept (Final Version) With Tegra 4 CPU, Sold by Google Wireless Carrier</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="1f87bf76b9" id="post-ratings-8921"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8921_text"></span></span>We offered you a concept of the <strong>Galaxy Nexus 2</strong> and <strong>a teaser</strong>
for an upcoming Google Nexus phone. Now Bob Freking delivered the
Google Nexus 2013, a really well designed piece of work and a very
original idea behind it. This phone is all Google, so much that even its
wireless network is offered by Google. The search engine giant is
supposed to handle the software, hardware and network in this case. We
have a gallery below and you can click on the pictures to see their
larger versions.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Google Nexus 2013 Concept (Final Version) With Tegra 4 CPU, Sold by Google Wireless Carrier" class="aligncenter wp-image-8922" height="367" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Google_Nexus_2013_concept_1-490x367.jpg" title="Google_Nexus_2013_concept_1" width="490" /></div>
Bob Freking’s concept involves the announcement of Google Wireless,
the company’s own carrier with cheap 4G plans. Also, know that the
phones with support for this newfound carrier will lack bloatware and
will be thinner, lacking a SIM card, that will actually be built in.
Google Nexus 2013 features a 4.8 inch AMOLED display with a 1600 x 900
pixel resolution, a 1.6 GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 quad core processor and a
13.1 megapixel HD camera. The device is suppoed to be sold by Google for
$299 unlocked and for $49 locked on Google Wireless.<br />
This “Nexus 2″ runs Android Key Lime Pie, with an updated version of
Google Now and G Network, that offers free messaging and calls to other
Android 4.2 phones. By the way Key Lime Pie is actually Android 4.2. The
phone also integrates the Google Fiber service and as far as design
goes, Nexus 2013 has some cool lines at the back, that light up
depending on the notification you get. This lighting system is actually
the famous logo of the Nexus family. Everything is covered with
polycarbonate and Gorilla Glass and other specs include a 2 megapixel
front camera and 3000 mAh battery. Beautiful and brilliant work Bob!<br />

The Google Nexus 2013 Phone by Bob Freking</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="18a44575d9" id="post-ratings-8901"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8901_text"></span></span>We’ve already posted a <strong>teaser</strong> of the next Galaxy Nexus phone, made by Bob Freking. There was also the <strong>Nexus 2 concept</strong>
we had, that went viral. And now we’ve got this shade and Bob Freking
asks you for clues and a guessing game on what this device is all about.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="The Google Nexus 2013 Phone by Bob Freking" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8902" height="368" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Google_Nexus_2_teaser.jpg" title="Google_Nexus_2_teaser" width="490" /></div>
I’m guessing it’s a quad core device with Android Key Lime Pie or
maybe Android L, who knows? It seems like a very slim device and the big
shades on the side make me think about one volume button, but what
about the other? Then I had a revelation: what if this is not a phone
and its shadow, but a phone with a sliding part? And what if those
things that look like volume buttons are in fact shoulder buttons? Could
it be a Google Nexus Xperia Play 2?! Of course, this is just my
speculation and the final device isn’t ready yet.<br />
You can guess, speculate, throw ideas and generally talk about this
mockup/idea in the Comments are below and on Facebook by clicking the

Sony Xperia Neo S Has Great Display PPI (319)</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="d43efe4e06" id="post-ratings-8895"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8895_text"></span></span>Ben
Ling has produced a number of Xperia concepts so far and some have been
very interesting. The thing is that he doesn’t actually change much of
the original designs of Sony phones, he just upgrades the specs and
works around the main design. Such is the case of the Sony Xperia Neo S,
yet another evolution of the Xperia Neo.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Sony Xperia Neo S Has Great Display PPI (319) " class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8896" height="349" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Xperia_Neo_S_concept.jpg" title="Xperia_Neo_S_concept" width="490" /></div>
We’re dealing here with a 4.2 inch smartphone with a TFT scratch
resistant capacitive touchscreen, an 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash
and 16X digital zoom. The handset’s cam does 1080p video capture and
the Sony Xperia Neo S also comes with a a front 1.3 megapixel camera
with 720p capture. Inside there’s a dual core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9
processor (NovaThor U8500) and other specs include 768 MB of RAM,
Android 4.0.7 ICS and 8GB of storage. The smartphone measures 11.5mm in
thickness and weighs 125 grams.<br />
It has a 319 ppi pixel density and offers technologies like Sony
Mobile BRAVIA Engine, xLOUD, Sony White Magic and a Li-Ion 1520 mAh
battery. Other features are Bluetooth 4.0, multitouch for up to 4
fingers and a microSD card slot with 64GB support. Fancy this Xperia Neo

Bob Freking Prepares Google Nexus Revolution – Teaser for Now</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="75686a2341" id="post-ratings-8890"></span>It appears that you liked very much the <strong>Galaxy Nexus 2 concept</strong>,
that went viral on Facebook and Google+. It received 100 likes, over 30
shares and over 20 Google+ +1 votes. Now this device inspired our often
quoted designer Bob Freking to create his own vision of the Google
future. He imagined the “Android K with Nexus”, shown through a teaser
below.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Bob Freking Prepares Google Nexus Revolution Teaser for Now" class="aligncenter wp-image-8891" height="368" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/android-k-nexus-teaser.jpg" title="android k nexus teaser" width="490" /></div>
He promises that the next concept will be a mixture of software and
hardware. Bob held Jelly Bean in his hands and has a good idea of what
it’s about. He claims it’s perfect and says it’s hard to improve
something so polished. Well, he has a few ideas, applied to what looks
like the new Galaxy Nexus phone, in his vision. He is still thinking
about the concept and gathering ideas, so suggestions are welcome as
usual.<br />
I imagine that Google will launch a new Nexus phone with Android Key
Lime Pie, that’s what the K stands for this time. So, either Bob Freking
imagines the phone of the next Android release or the 2013 Nexus
handset. Having seen his next teaser, I can reveal this The Google Nexus
2013. Are you ready for it?</div>

The Next Galaxy Nexus (Nexus 2?) Mockup Created by Killu-Chan</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="a802d43774" id="post-ratings-8885"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8885_text"></span></span>Well,
isn’t this a pleasant surprise? After so many Nokia and Apple concepts
here’s a device focused on the Google experience. This is the Next
Galaxy Nexus, or maybe you want to dub it Galaxy Nexus 2. I supposed
it’s made by Samsung, since the designer didn’t mention that aspect,
although some elements of its design make me think about Motorola.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="The Next Galaxy Nexus (Nexus 2?) Mockup Created by Killu Chan" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8886" height="412" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Galaxy-Nexus-2-concept.jpg" title="Galaxy Nexus 2 concept" width="490" /></div>
The Next Galaxy Nexus features a Super AMOLED display with 5 inch
diagonal and 720p resolution, plus Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection.
Other specs include 32GB of storage, 8GB of RAM (?!), HSDPA 42 Mbps
connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 with MHL and USB on the
go. The camera at the back is a 12 megapixel sensor with autofocus, LED
flash and simultaneous HD video and image recording, touch focus, image
stabilization and face and smile detection.<br />
The device features a front 2 megapixel camera with 720p capture at
30 fps, while the camera at the back does 1080p video capture at 30 fps.
The battery inside the Galaxy Nexus 2 is a 3200 mAh unit and the OS on
board is Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. As the brain of the smartphone we
have the quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core 2 GHz processor, with GPU
ULP GeForce. Killu-Chan did a great job with this design, that looks a
bit more sci-fi than the curved Galaxy Nexus.<br />

Coca Cola Concept Mobile Phone Created by David Carrillo</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="5bce08133c" id="post-ratings-8875"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8875_text"></span></span>Since it’s a hot summer, one can relax with a lighter phone concept such as the Coca Cola mobile, created by David Carrillo.
Enough with the highest end quad core smartphones and let’s have some
fun! The handset is a slider that has a main part shaped like a coke can
and a numeric keypad under the sliding part.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Coca Cola Concept Mobile Phone Created by David Carrillo" class="aligncenter wp-image-8876" height="346" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/CocaCola_concept_mobile_1.jpg" title="CocaCola_concept_mobile_1" width="490" /></div>
There’s a main front button that looks like a small trackpad (it
could be one in fact), a camera at the back and a front camera, too. The
device is a bit bulky, but it’s one of those one time only devices,
like the plastic cameras people bought years ago for holidays. I have to
say that I like the black model the most, especially if the red parts
of the design are illuminated as well. The identity of the brand Coca
Cola is well preserved in the handset, to be honest.<br />
The Spanish designer didn’t mention any specs or OS, but I imagine
something like this: 3 megapixel camera, 2GB of storage, maybe even
Android on board and a 3 inch touch display. Also, I expect a ton of
custom Coca Cola apps to be available on the handset. Would you buy this
for fun?<br />

Ling is back with one of his minimalistic concepts, that involves
making a follow-up for an already existing Xperia phone. The
modifications are minor in this case, as far as the Sony Xperia U 2 is
concerned. We’re dealing with a dual core 1.2 GHz phone, with a 3.7 inch
display that’s scratch resistant.<br />

Xperia U 2 has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a front 1.3MP
shooter and the main cam does both 720p video capture and 8x digital
zoom. The device measures 12.5mm in thickness, weighs 119 grams and its
specs list includes Android 4.0, 512MB of RAM, while the CPU is of the
Cortex A9 kind. This model has 12GB of internal storage, 291 ppi pixel
density, xLOUD audio and Sony Mobile Bravia Engine technology.<br />
Other specs include Bluetooth 4.0, multitouch for up to 8 fingers and
a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery. The design follows the usual Xperia styling
of 2012, with a rectangular form factor, matte back area and the
majority of buttons on one of the sides. Also there are 3 capacitive
buttons below the display. I’m not that impressed frankly!<br />

Sony CX Concept, the Rebirth of the Cyber-shot</h3>
<span class="post-ratings" data-nonce="c03061d728" id="post-ratings-8838"><span class="post-ratings-text" id="ratings_8838_text"></span></span>Since
Concept Phones dates from 2008, I’m sure you remember our many
Cyber-shot and Sony Walkman designs, but sadly it’s been a while since
we’ve seen one of those. We usually got them from the Esato board and
now here they are again, with a brand new Cyber-shot phone of 2012,
created by forum member Reeflotz, Kevin Lim in real life.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Sony CX Concept, the Rebirth of the Cyber shot" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8839" height="368" src="http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Sony-CX-concept-1.jpg" title="Sony CX concept 1" width="490" /></div>
For starters it runs Android, most likely Ice Cream Sandwich and it
uses the button display that reminds me of the Xperia Ray, with that
semicircle of light around the Home button. The buttons on the side
remind me of the Xperia Arc, while the overall front design fits with
the new generation of Xperia U, P and S (flat and rectangular). This is
an Xperia model, as shown by the back logo and also at the back we find a
speaker, a 12.1 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss technology and the
flash (Xenon?).<br />
The back of the Sony Xperia CX 2012 Cyber-shot totally reminds me of
the old school Cyber-shot units, to be frank. Sony don’t actually need
to change anything about the designs of their phones, that have been
great for the past years. They just need to adapt their specs to the
modern world and include kickass cameras, audio systems and processors.
Will they make it?<br />

HTC One Desire is a HTC Flyer Successor, a 7 Inch Beats Audio Tablet</h3>

Freking strikes again, this time with a HTC tablet concept. This model
is called HTC One Desire and it’s the follow-up to the HTC Flyer,
meaning it will have a 7 inch display and Beats Audio tech this time.
HTC is actually rumored in real life to be making a tablet, a quad core
bigger model codenamed Vertex.<br />

Back to our HTC tablet design, this one has phone capabilities, runs
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 4.0 and uses the 7 inch format
with pull down notifications. As you know Jelly Bean looks differently
on 7 and 10 inch tablets. At the back of the HTC One Desire there’s an 8
megapixel camera, while upfront there’s a 2 megapixel shooter, with
ImageSense technology. The specs include an ARM15 Snapdragon processor
and a polycarbonate case. This tablet’s screen is a 7 inch 1080p unit,
based on Super LCD 2 technology.<br />
Other features include 2GB of RAM and stylus support, with a pretty
big pen with an earpiece for calling and microphone, also with Beats
technology. Bob Freking sees this as a “beastly flagship”, that combines
the great things of the One devices and the Desire units.<br />
