Tulip describes itself as the “world’s most desired luxury notebook” and we too think so. But at a price tag of $355,000 the desire will not be satisfied as for me. Its chrome handle and rounded curves make it resemble a women’s handbag. It also has changeable skins made of superior quality leathers with white gold plates and diamonds. The titanium hooks and sliding panels mask the unsightly ports and connections. The specs are not above standard though. It has a 12 inch antiglare display, 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, integrated webcam, Bluetooth 2.0, and DVD burner.

Shoes That Clean The Floor

 The FOKI is a floor cleaning shoe, yea you read that correctly. It has two rotary cleaners underneath each shoe to sweep up dust and kill bacteria. They’re cordless but there’s a LED display on the side to indicate battery levels. It sounds weird but if I shut my eyes really hard to imagine the possibilities of clean floors with every step, I’m sold. I hate sweeping – please, anything to make cleaning less tedious.
