Flat black Rolls Royce Phantom

Author: Julien  //  Category: Premium Automotive

If the Rolls Royce Phantom just isnt flashy enough for you than maybe you should consider the flat black Phantom. This flat black Rolls Royce Phantom is the new project of MANSORY and as you can see, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it definatly stands out from the crowd (as if the Phantom didnt already stand out enough)!

Flat black Phantom

Mansory Phantom
First off you wil notice the flat black laquer paint job and the much softer chrome exterior accents. The interior has carbon fiber and bright maple wood inlays and an implemented ambiance-light-effects that give the Phantom an amazing glow. The interior also features an alcantara roof lining, alcantara dashboard and a sport steering wheel. In the back there there are new electrical business tables with seat integrated multimedia monitors and perhaps best of all is the suspended particle device glass which allows the passangers to continuously regulate the transparency (opacity) with a remote control (similar to what you find in the Maybach)!

Performance upgrades include a boost in horsepower and an increase in torque to 575 lb-ft @ 3920 rpm. The top speed is also increased to 168 mph. In addition they outfitted the Mansory Phantom with black forged 24inch wheels and huge 6 piston Brembo brakes.

Terry Tate Office Linebacker

Author: Julien  //  Category: premium comedy

A funny video that my buddy Bobby just sent to me. This is a compilation of all the Terry Tate commercials from 6 or 7 years ago. “Terry Tate Office Linebacker” was a commercial series that Reebok created in which Terry Tate (played by Lester Speight) an NFL linebacker is employed at a corporate office. I believe this originally aired as a Super Bowl XXXVII commercial. If you aren’t familiar with Terry Tate - Office Linebacker, all you need to know is that Terry’s job is to keep the office staff in line, and as you will see, he “gives out the pain” to those who are not obeying the rules. Funny stuff!

I Just came across a free program called Plaxio that quickly and easily allows you to sync your calandar and contact information. You can sync with google, yahoo, Outlook…. and updates appear on all of your sites instantaneously! Just make a chance in one place and it will automatically show up in all your other calandars without having to use cables, cradles sync programs… and best of all it free! Apparently there are about 15,000,000 people who have already signed up so I guess this is not exactly exciting cutting edge news, but its new to me and hopefully you’ll find it useful too! Here is a video that briefly describes some of features of Plaxio:

Mercedes SLK with an SLR Motor

Author: Julien  //  Category: Premium Automotive

What’s faster than a Mercedes SLR? How about an SLK with an SLR motor! Dubai car collector Mohammed Ben Sulayem commissioned this project which crams a Mercedes SLR engine into the smallest Mercedes sports car they make. Besides the fact that they had to cut away part of the SLK’s hood, the car looks like a completely stock SLK AMG 55 but the result is a crazy fast SLK-SLR that is capable of dusting a Ferrari Enzo! Even cooler is that they did the same thing with a Mercedes E-class. The E-class pictured below also has an SLR motor installed. Talk about the ultimate “sleeper!” Maybe next they’ll put an SLR motor in a new Mercedes S65 AMG just so they can shave off a few pounds and get another 10 or 20 horsepower. :)

Touch screen table by Microsoft

Author: Julien  //  Category: Premium Fun and Entertainment, Premium Gadgets and Cool Toys

Surface
A few weeks ago Microsoft announced a pretty amazing new product called “Microsoft Surface” technology. Microsoft surface is a touch screen table that basically turns your coffee table into an interactive computer monitor. The touch screen table allows multiple users to interact with their hands to flip through pages, move and resize images, draw, navigate maps… and it also interacts with objects that you place on the table. (As an example, you could place your camera down on the table and the images on your device will spill out onto the table were you can edit and resize them). I could go on and on about how amazing this is but the video does a much better job so take a look.

If you haven’t seen this yet, take a look. Its crazy!

Best of all, Microsoft has announces that these touch screen tables will be available by the end of 2007. At $5,000 to $10,000 a pop they are still too expensive for home use but we can expect to start seeing them in select Casinos and Restaurants within a few months!

Flash website templates can help to give you a professional looking flash websites for a fraction of what it would cost to design a flash website from scratch. Although flash website templates often require a lot of additional coding and tweeking they can save you money by giving you a base to work off of. Instead of spending 100+ hours to make a fully custom flash website from scratch, you can tweek a flash website template within about 10 or 20 hours (depending on your flash skills and what needs to be changed).

F500
The Samsung F500 “Ultra Video” is the “world’s first” handset with official DivX certification. The Samsung F500 (also know as the Samsung F500 Ultra Video or the SGH-F500) comes packed with tons of cool features for multimedia enthusiasts and will let you put all those DivX movies and TV shows onto your handset for portable handset viewing. Besides supporting DivX codec, the Samsung F500 also supports MPEG-4, H.264, WMV and AVI video formats. The Samsung F500 is the first phone to now support all the major video formats. The phone has a high resolution 2.4 inch screen that swivels to adjust the viewing angle (which also allows you to lay it on a flat surface and watch it without holding it in your hand). The F500 is dual faced with a screen and multimedia controls on one side, and a phone on the other. In addition it has a 2 Megapixel camera that even takes video. The phone comes with 400 megabytes of built in storage (way more than my Blackberry Pearl) and the F500 has a micro SD slot, allowing you to add an additional 2 gigs of storage space. As of right now the F500 is not going to be officially released in the US but I would look for it to show up on eBAY very soon! You can click here to try and Find the Samsung F500 on eBay!

Other features of the Samsung F500 are GSM/EDGE support on 900, 1800, and 1900MHz bands, and Bluetooth v1.2 w/ A2DP stereo headset. The F500 can play a variety of media files, including: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC, and WMA audio. The F500 measures up at Read more…

Buy a video game character for only $400

Author: Julien  //  Category: premium comedy

Wow… what a deal! NOT

This isn’t exactly a “premium post” but I suppose you could say it fits into the “premium comedy” section! (BTW if you don’t think this is funny I would suggest that you’re a huge nerd. No offense)!
So… I was looking for a computer on Craigslist today and I came across an amazing post. Apparently you can buy and sell video game characters. Someone is offering to sell his character from the “World of Warcraft” game for $400. Mind you this is not a video game for sale but rather a character that someone has created. He is selling “a Level 70 Human Rogue on the Alliance side of the PVP server Baelgun” (whatever that means)
More importantly it states that the character is transferable with 60 days of play time and the seller states that he expects to get multiple offers because this is a good deal. (Just a thought, but for $400 couldn’t you go to “Dave and Busters Restaurant” every weekend for 60 days and get an unlimited arcade game card, 5 or 6 beers, some food, a little bit of human interaction and the remote possibility of maybe even meeting (or at least talking to) a girl? Just a thought.

Anyway, it seems to me that for $400 your average gamer would probably buy an XBox 360 or a PS3. What I want to know is, who is spending $400 on a video game character (and please don?t tell me that it?s because the character has high ratings, lots of power or even super awesome looks)? Seriously I need help understanding this!

Side note: If this is for real I might consider getting into the videogame nerd business. Can anyone advise we on weather or not this is as good a deal as the seller states? If so I might have to post this incredible investment opportunity to the “premium investments” section of my blog.

Anyway here is a direct quote from the post and a link to the original post:
link to the original post if it is still up on Craigslist

“His Ret weapon is The Oathkeeper

His Healing weapon is Mogor’s Anointing Club
The Shield for the Club is Draenei Honor Guard Shield

He has +650 to healing with his healing gear and +500 with out the club and shield
He also has 300+ to damage

He is 260/300 Blacksmithing and 130/150 Jewelcrafting

He has over 100 Gold

Armor is:

Lawbringer Gauntlets
Judgement Legplates
Heavenly Inspiration
Shamanistic Helmet of Second Sight
Vengeance of the Illidari
Brooch of Hightened Potential
Burning Blade Cultist Band
Sage’s Band
Lawbringer Boots
Light-Touched Breastplate
Fairweather’s Wristguards
Avenger’s Waistguard
Spell-slinger’s Protector
Lawbringer Spaulders”

So for all you World of Warcraft gamers… what were you most impressed with? Was it the “Light-Touched Breastplate” or the “300+ gold?”
For me, I would have to say it was the “Heavenly Inspiration” that really blew me away!

Update: OMG I just had a heavenly inspiration of my own! I was inspired to never EVER play World of Warcraft!

Free 411 calls from Google

Author: Julien  //  Category: Premium Fun and Entertainment, Premium Gadgets and Cool Toys, Premium resources

I just wanted to share an awesome Google creation I just came accross… It’s Google 411 and it lets you call toll free from any phone to get local business listings. Previously I had been using traditional 411 or 1-800-SanDiego as a free 411 service but the new google 411 is 1000% better. Not only do you get your answers instantly with no advertisements, but it will also connect you for free (or even text message you the information for free)! Now you can find what you are looking for instantly! To try out Google’s new 411 service just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.

Here are some tips for using Google 411:
1) When you are asked for city and state, you can say city and state or you can simply say (or type) the zip code.
2) When you are asked the business name or category you can say the specific name or be general. EX: “hardware stores”
3) Say “details” to get more info about the current listing.
4) You can say “text message” or press “9″ to receive a text message with detailed info (when you are calling from a cell phone).
The text message feature came in very handy when I was on my way to a steakhouse in Downtown San Diego and didn’t know thier address. I simply said “92101 The strip club steakhouse” then “text message” and I was instanly sent a text with their phone number and address!
Anyway… Not much more to it! Its free, it’s easy and its way faster than looking something up on your phone when your not in front of a computer so give it a try!

Jet powered motorcycle

Author: Julien  //  Category: Premium Automotive

If your 50cc pocket bike isn’t giving you that adrenaline rush you crave than consider this modest upgrade: It’s the MTT Turbine Super bike also know as the Y2K. Weighing in at about 500 lb, this jet powered motorcycle uses a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine to create over 320HP and 425 ft. lb. of torque, making it the most powerful (and most expensive) production motorcycle ever! So what does all that power equate to? Well if you can hang onto the handle bars long enough it will sling you from 0 to 217mph in 14 seconds and top out at around 250mph!

Y2K superbike
The Y2K superbike may not be practical and I can only imagine that this jet powered super bike has some handling issues, considering the fact that you are sitting on a jet engine that spins at 56,000rpm. But… Anyone who is going to spend $185,000 on a bike isn’t exactly looking for practicality. Jay Leno who was one of the first owners of a MTT jet powered superbike and in the video below you can hear the crazy sound this motorcycle makes and see it in action!

The bike features carbon fiber fairings, forward and rear looking radar detector with laser scrambler, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display, one touch “Smart Start” ignition… and a death sentance ;)
