World’s most Costliest & Expensive Mobile: iPhone 3G S Supreme
The worlds most expensive and exclusive phone, the iphone 3G S Supreme was unveiled last year. What makes it so special is the number of diamonds filled in it together with the factor of it being solid gold. This iphone is made of 271 grams of 22ct solid gold besides the front bezel being adorned with 136 diamonds totaling 68 carats. The apple logo on the back of the iphone is also in gold and has 53 diamonds in it totaling 1 ct. The home button is itself made of a very rare 7 carat diamond.
This exclusive phone was designed by Stuart Hughes. It even has a special chest with which it is sold. The chest weights 7 kg and is made out of a single block of granite and is filled with top-quality leather.
Now that I have described the phone, the issue is only about the price which costs a whopping 3.2 million dollars being around 16 cores INR. So you have to be a Ambani or Tata or someone in their league to be able to afford this phone.
Just this January another iphone was unveiled by the same designer and this one being the, iphone 3G S Supreme Rose, is slightly more expensive than the above one since this one has a platinum bezel, 18 ct Rose gold and 4 pink diamonds being 2.5 carats each. So this iphone is currently is the most expensive phone.

expensive accidents !
Throughout history, humans have always been prone to accidents. Some, such as the exotic car crashes seen on this page, can be very expensive. But that’s trivial compared to the truly expensive accidents. My aim is to list the top 10 most expensive accidents in the history of the world as measured in dollars.
This includes property damage and expenses incurred related to the accident such as cleanup and industry losses. Many of these accidents involve casualties which obviously cannot be measured in dollar terms. Each life lost is priceless and is not factored into the equation.
Chernobyl
On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed the costliest accident in history. The Chernobyl disaster made 50% of the area of Ukraine in some way contaminated. The total costs has been estimated to be roughly $200 Billion.
Space Shuttle Columbia
The Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed during re-entry over Texas on February 1, 2003. The total cost of the accident came out to $13 Billion according to NASA.
Prestige Oil Spill
On November 13, 2002, the Prestige oil tanker was carrying 77,000 tons of heavy fuel oil in Galicia, Spain. According to a report the total cleanup cost was $12 billion.
Challenger Explosion
The Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed 73 seconds after takeoff due on January 28, 1986 due to a faulty O-ring. The cost of replacing the Space Shuttle 5.5 billion in today’s dollars.
Piper Alpha Oil Rig

Exxon Valdez
The Exxon Valdez oil spill was not a large one in relation to the world’s biggest oil spills. On March 24, 1989, 10.8 million gallons of oil was spilled when the ship’s master. The cleanup cost Exxon $2.5 billion.
B-2 Bomber Crash
This B-2 stealth bomber crashed shortly after taking off from an air base in Guam on February 23, 2008. Investigators blamed distorted data in the flight control computers caused by moisture in the system.

Metro Link Crash
On September 12, 2008, 25 people were killed when a Metro link commuter train crashed head-on into a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles. Wrongful death lawsuits expected to cause $500 million in losses for Metro link.
Tanker Truck vs. Bridge
On August 26, 2004, a car collided with a tanker truck containing 32,000 liters of fuel on the Wiehltal Bridge in Germany. Temporary repairs cost $40 million and the cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $318 Million.Titanic
The sinking of the Titanic is possibly the most famous accident in the world. But it barely makes our list of top 10 most expensive. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage . The ship cost $7 million to build ($150 million in today’s dollars).
A.P.P.L.E - the vision beyond future !
A great wave of excitement is sweeping across all Apple fans as they wait for the official launch of the latest amazing Apple product on 27th January. Yes, it is the eagerly anticipated Apple Tablet. Some of us may have seen the prototype online, and few will disagree that it is yet another beautiful creation by Apple.
In terms of the design and the aesthetic value of IT wares, there is little dispute that Apple create some of the finest and most creative design for their products that few or no other competitors can match. Over the years, product concept designs by hardcoreApple fans began to surface as Apple started to stand out among its competitors. Although these designs are not going to be marketed as actual products, it reflects the deepest wishes of die-hardApple fans.
So Here I have compiled some of the best, coolest and most creative Apple Futuristic concept designs created by Apple fans around the globe. I am sure that you will appreciate there efforts.
Mac Mini (Slim)
Mac Mini is super-slim concept design of the actual Apple Mac Mini. It has all the features of the original machine but is a lot slimmer. Connect the Mac Mini to an Apple LED displays and you will have a powerful Multimedia computer in-front of you.
Apple iView
iView is concept Mac design with curved display that is made for best orientation with the curvature of a human eye. It has a dual-sided display and 2 web-cams on both sides of the display.
Apple Tribook
The tribook has exactly what the name and the picture suggest, it has three screens. One is the regular laptop-style screen and the other two can be folded to save the space when they are not in use. It is possible that the fordable screens use theApple’s patented transparent screen technology, that way when they are folded.
MacBook Mini

Macbook Touch
The MacBook Touch is actually an iPhone concept design with a bigger screen and I/O ports.
Apple TouchBook
This concept may be a reality soon as the rumors are that the two companies, Apple and Verizon, are looking forward to develop a wireless iPhone. The device is expected to be thinner, lighter and much affordable than the iPhone.
iPhone Elite
When Apple was to launch iPhone, a reporter asked Steve Ballmer what he thought about it – He laughed and said, “A Phone without a Keyboard?” If only he could see thisconcept design of iPhone. iPhone Elite has a dual slider mechanism. It has a bigger camera and a full keyboard too.
iEye
The iEye is a concept mobile phone which boasts a shutter button onto the camera making it over iPhone constraints. The phone curbs a glut of features that take in 720p HD video, 5.1-megapixel stills, 12GB of flash memory, and a large-capacity lithium-ion battery hardwired inside.
iPod Shuffle
This concept is a portrayal of an iPod Shuffle wrist wrap dangling and would be found on all the joggers and runaway models on the roads, strapped on their arms. It’s an iPod shuffle with an Mp3 bracelet and a wireless ear piece that might look prettier on arms of girls.
iPhone Nano
The iPhone Nano? It’s a pretty good concept which can be abstracted from the image above. It’s a concept mated from an iPhone 3G and Nano G4.
GREAT DISASTERS...
Explosions are tricky to measure. For one, what are the criteria? And most data on “blasts from the past” are speculation at best. Explosions, both natural and man-made, have caused awe and terror for centuries. And some even caused the extinction of life from earth.
Here I have compiled some of the most powerful explosions the world has ever seen. I hope you will like it and will find it informative.
Gamma ray bursts
Gamma ray bursts are the most powerful explosions known in the universe. GRB 090423 reached our world even from about 13 billion light-years in 2009. That explosion, which lasted just a little more than a second, released roughly 100 times more energy than our sun will release in its entire 10 billion year lifetime.
Shadow-casting Supernova
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9
The K-T Extinction Impact Event
Mount Tambora
Tunguska
The Trinity Blast
Chernobyl
The Halifax Explosion
The Texas City Disaster
A fire onboard the cargo ship SS Grandcamp docked at Texas City in 1947 detonated 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate, a compound used in fertilizers and high explosives. The explosion blew two planes out of the sky and triggered a chain reaction that detonated nearby refineries as well as a neighboring cargo ship carrying another 1,000 tons of ammonium nitrate.
strangest stadiums...must see
5 Strange Stadiums Around the World
January 25, 2010 Sample Housing Showground Stadium in Japan 
Osaka Stadium was a stadium in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan. It was primarily used for baseball and was home of the Nankai Hawks until they moved to the Heiwadai Stadium in 1988.
TheOsaka stadium was abandoned for baseball and soon converted to sample housing showground. The stadium was demolished in 1998 and and shopping center is build on that location.link
Here’s the funniest stadium ever, Eco-Stadium Janguito Malucelli, in Curitiba, Brazil. Became famous for being the first “green stage” of Brazil, his main stand was built with chairs placed on top of a hill, without the use of concrete. Therefore, the stage is also called Eco-Stadium.
Estádio Municipal de Braga (English: Braga Municipal Stadium) is a football stadium in Braga, Portugal
The stadium was carved off a quarry (Monte Castro) that overlooks the city of Braga. Stands run only along both sides of the pitch. Behind the goal at one end are the rock walls of the quarry and at the other is an open view over the city sprawling in the distance. Each stand is covered with a canopy-style roof, and both are connected to each other across the pitch by dozens of steel strings, a design inspired by ancient South American Inca bridges.
The enormous rock moving process contributed heavily to the final €83.1 million cost, more than any other of the ten new stadiums built for Euro 2004.
The stadium is often considered one of the most original and beautiful stadiums in the world
Vesturi á Eiðinum Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Vágur, Faroe Islands. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of VB Vágur. The stadium holds 3,000 people.
There’s also a guy in a boat that collects the balls that fall into the sea during a match link
