Semi-Submerged Eco Luxury Home - Trilobis 65

it’s neat to feature something that combines the two with this extreme house boat concept, the Trilobis 65.
Similar to the Jelly-Fish 45 Habitat, the floating luxury homes deigned by Giancarlo Zema are semi-submerged. Each pod is meant to house up to six people living at sea while being as environmentally friendly as possible, to the land, air and water around it. When it moves from concept to reality, it will likely be made in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“It is ideal for living in bays, atolls and maritime parks,” the site says. “The main aim of the project is to allow anyone to live in a unique environment through a self sufficient, non-polluting dwelling cell in unison with their ocean surroundings.”
At its longest, it measure 20 metres, and its widest portion is 13m across. Its maximum speed is 7 knots, the ship deriving its power from ballard fuel cells, solar, wind and diesel.
The floor designated for sleeping will have wraparound windows surrounding two single bedrooms and two double, each with its own bathroom and windows 3 feet below the water’s surface.
It’s part of a houseboat community concept, or floating village, which involves a pronged dock or private marina that allows for the connection of five of these liveable water pods.



Can Dell Have a Cool Phone?

Alienware Android Phone (GALLERY)
Dell is not a name synonymous with cool or must-have phones. Their foray into the mobile phone market was a dull range of PDAs, a complete flop. But things might change soon. Dell recently acquired Alienware, the mega-stylish American laptops and desktops manufacturer, known for their expertise in video, audio and gaming. Alienware are famous for their eye catching designs and innovative technology. At CES 2008 they launched the ultimate in video gaming experience, a giant curved monitor that fills the entire of the gamer’s peripheral vision.


The argument for an Alienware mobile phone is overwhelming. It would have the striking design to make an impression in a mobile market dominated by fashion phones, it would instantly be the coolest phone on the market thanks to the popularity of the Alienware brand, it would have the marketing muscle of Dell behind it to push it beyond its established niche and into the mainstream, and it would be the mobile gamer’s dream, just as video gaming on mobile phones is starting to enter the picture. To add to the excitement there have been rumours recently that Dell and Google are on the point of making a surprise announcement at the 3GSM World Mobile Congress with speculation growing over an iPhone-challenging mobile device.

Nokia Morph (lastest handphone)


Super cool! The cutting-edge Nokia Morph concept phone uses nanotechnology based flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces to produce a mobile device that is “… stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes”. All the different shaped devices you see in the picture are actually the same one morphing mobile handset. It transforms itself into the concrete shape to suit your needs.
The Nokia Morph was developed by Nokia research center in cooperation with Cambridge University and is currently on display at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, USA.
