Police in Germany pulled over a 35-year old man doing 130 kph (80 mph) in a 100 kph (~62 mph) zone, and discovered he’d built an entire mobile office in the passenger seat of his vehicle. This is that mobile office. I know, I used ‘deluxe’ in the title pretty liberally.
Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all.
A navigation system and cellphone mounted to the windshield completed the array.
Since there was no evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a (EURO)120 ($ 153) speeding ticket and a possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.
Man, this guy gets off with a $ 150 ticket with an entire mobile office in his car WE ALL KNOW HE USES WHILE DRIVING and I get a $ 200 ticket for making an EMERGENCY cell phone call on the highway? “You were playing Game Boy.” Haha, you should have seen me hold it up to my head and try to convince the officer it was a Blackberry.
Thanks to Pyrblaze and neolardo, who agree your car is not the place for office work. Your car is a place for screaming at other drivers and waving your fist in the air. Plus sometimes punching the steering wheel.
This is the insane Batcave inspired home theater setup being built for an Elite Home Theater Seating client in California. It’s nuts. “Like pistachios?” EXACTLY like pistachios. Hands down my favorite nut.
For this months “Theater of the Month”, we bring you our newest concept, the Dark Knight Theater. Our goal was to fuse together the cozy elements of Wayne Manor, with the Art Deco styling of Gotham City.
Please note that Elite HTS is only a design consultant for this particular project in California. We are not handling the construction, and we are only providing the theater seating for it.
You have to hit the jump to see the Batcomputer behind the seating and the bookcases on the left that open to reveal the garage for a Tumbler replica, which — is the client actually going to have one? Because if so they’re too rich. Also, I’m willing to go gay for money — just throwing that out there.
Hit the jump for the rest of the shots.
This is a 44-pound wheelchair built by Simon Burfield entirely out of LEGO pieces (sans the wheels). Specifically, ‘six Lego Mindstorms NXTs, 12 Mindstorms motors, 12 Lego Mindstorms touch sensors…and a “whole load of Lego Technic.”‘ The chair can allegedly accommodate an occupant up to 198-lb and zoom them around at speeds up to incredibly slow. Still, an impressive feat. Of course, if you find yourself crippled and insurance won’t cover the cost of a Rascal or Hoveround I don’t recommend going and building your own LEGO version. No, here’s what you do: call me and I’ll steal one from somebody who’s just fat and lazy. Mother Teresa they call me in my neighborhood. “No they don’t.” THEY CALL ME NANCY BOY, OKAY?
Hit the jump for a lady in tight jeans taking the thing for a spin.
Watch out, Sony, Vizio is chasing your tail. Just yesterday Sony revealed its latest Google TV hardware, a $ 199 remake of the company’s first GTV products. And now today, Vizio took to the wires and announced its first player in the Google TV game, the $ 99 Co-Star.
The Co-Star is a serious contender in this game, too. The product boasts all the Google TV functionality along with additional baked-in apps such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, iHeartRadio, and for the first time on a Google TV box, OnLive. With OnLive gamers can demo, watch and actually play games through the cloud gaming service. Plus, all this is available for $ 100 less than Sony charges.
“Our focus to deliver the best consumer experience continues with today’s announcement of the Co-Star, which delivers a superior smart TV interface that anyone can add to their existing HDTV,” Matt McRae, VIZIO’s Chief Technology Officer said in a released statement. “We combined the powerful features of Google TV™ with an intuitive and easy to use interface, giving users the power to enjoy an entire world of entertainment.”
The Co-Star ships with a dual-sided Bluetooth remote (OnLive’s wireless controllers use Bluetooth) with one side featuring a number pad and touchpad with a QWERTY keypad on the other side. The box also sports 802.11n and USB connectivity options.
Vizio hasn’t yet detailed the expected ship date yet although pre-orders begin next month.
This is a levitating bed built by Redditor mememetatata using plywood and hockey puck sized rare earth magnets. It can levitate a person up to 250 pounds (so probably no hover-boning) and looks really comfortable. I’m kidding — two inches of foam on a wood base? Knock knock. Who’s there? SEVERE BACK PAIN. That said, I kinda want to build one for myself. “You’re gonna try to trap Magneto and steal his powers, aren’t you?” Maybe.
Hit the jump for several more shots, including one of the magnets.
This is the Discus Hotel, a hotel slated for construction in Dubai that will feature 21 underwater suites 30-meters (~100-feet) beneath the ocean’s surface. It was designed for people who’ve always dreamed of having sex while sea turtles watch.
Water Discus Hotels comprise two discs – an underwater and above-water one. The two parts of the structure will be connected by three legs and a vertical shaft containing a lift and stairway.
Guests will be able to operate miniature vehicles from inside their rooms that will take blown-up photographs of the surrounding sea creatures.
I do like the idea of getting to control a little camera-submarine from my room. I would pilot that thing straight into a mermaid’s dressing room faster than you could say OMG URSULA PUT A F***ING TOP ON.
Hit the jump for a bunch more pics including the view from a suite which doesn’t have any curtains and will inevitably attract the attention of numerous camera-subs whenever you’re naked/doing it.
The world’s largest McDonald’s restaurant is being for the London Olympics this summer, with a seating capacity of over 1,500. No word if McDonald’s thought ‘build the largest restaurant’ was going to be a medal event this year.
With 1,500 seats and spanning about half the length of a football field, the fast-food restaurant is planning on selling about 50,000 Big Macs, 100,000 orders of french fries and 30,000 milkshakes [during the Olympics]. To serve all this up, McDonald’s is looking to have more than 450 people on staff.
McDonald’s has a long-standing relationship with the Olympics games — this year will be the ninth year the chain has been the Olympics official restaurant and is the only restaurant feeding athletes, the paper reported.
Oh, McDonald’s has a long-standing relationship with the Olympics alright — making sure young athletes never make it to them! But seriously, is McDonald’s really the only restaurant feeding athletes during the Olympics? You better bring your own damn food if they are. Because otherwise you know who’s gonna win? NOBODY.
Thanks to Evil Ares, who’s so evil he filled the shake machine with laxatives.
