    porsche_p9522_2

    Not long ago we told you about the P’9521. Well the powers that be at Porsche Design have done it again. With scratch proof mineral glass, a large touch screen display, a 5mp camera, on board GPS, Solid aluminum body,  fingerprint sensor and the P’9522 also comes with wireless LAN for internet access. With all the style and the function that we expect from  Porsche, this phone is a winner. Premier. NC

    It’s a pretty simple concept, take old skateboards and turn them into a stool, the result is pretty amazing. If you’re looking for the missing piece for your home, or just want something unique to rest your feet on, these are a smart and stylish choice. Very Cool. NC

    I’d be lying if I said that this wasn’t the greatest idea any shoe company has ever had. The concept? Completely design  your own Puma shoe from one of 3 base styles. Pricing starts at $110 for the “First Round” style (the style in our pics), also available as a base are the “Basket” and “RS-100″ styles. Read more »

    What can out run Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini and comes out of Detroit? What costs over $200,000 less then it’s competition? Yup. Surprised us too. If you got the cash, Chevy has the car for you. Fully loaded it’ll run you $117,000, which for a car that runs 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, packs a hefty 6.2 liter V-8 638 horsepower screaming power house of an engine, isn’t half bad. Looks like this American legend is back on track. NC

    Kindle fans rejoice you can now take 2000 more books with you then you could before, The Kindle DX holds 3,500 books and has a larger display then the pier model. (9”, the other Kindle had a 6” display) The DX also now features a native PDF reader and rotating display. The only downside to this model seems to be it’s increased size, weight and it’s hefty $489 price tag. With all other features intact what your left with is a larger version of the Kindle with advanced storage capacity. While I like the new features, unless you really need/want the native PDF reader or the rotating display, there’s really not a big reason to upgrade. But if you’ve been waiting because you wanted a bigger screen or just didn’t have enough room for all your books, the DX is Amazons answer to those issues. You’ll just have to spend a bit more money this time around. Very Cool. NC

    9994-624911-dThe Internationalist’s sport a classic look and feel that are perfect for all day to day activity’s. If that’s what you look for in a shoe, these are a great place to start looking. They retail starting at around $59.99, so the fact that they’re priced well also gives them a advantage over shoes with a similar look. They’re also easily found at most places that carry NIKE shoes, so you won’t have to go out of your way to visit a specialty store. Very Cool. NC
