USB Mini Fridge

The Water Mortar is good for the summer and so is this USB Mini Fridge launched today by Brando.

Think of it as a personal fridge in which you can keep the beer (or any soda) at a cool temperature just the way you like it during the summer time, obviously it is powered via USB so there is no need for normal batteries. Sadly this small fridge only has space for one can but maybe that is enough for the people that spend long nights (and days) working in front of the computer.

World’s Top 10 Futuristic Luxury Hotels

The fast changing modes of travel would certainly one day make a big dent on the hotel industry. Only those will survive who have something special to offer or, at least, I would never settle down at a place with belts of my flying car or jetpack intact.

The designers of the hotels of tomorrow, perhaps, have kept this in mind while creating futuristic hotels to lure the global nomads, of course, in case the Time Machine doesn’t becomes a reality.

However, for now, here is a brief introduction to ten futuristic hi-tech luxury hotels, which are a living proof of the remarkable change we’re witnessing. Welcome aboard!

10. The Apeiron island hotel



Designer: Sybarite

Status: Concept

Estimated project cost: $500million

The ‘Apeiron’ island hotel is a seven star resort with a total floor area of 200,000m². It is 185-m high and boasts of over 350 luxury apartment suites. The hi-tech futuristic hotel screams of luxury and comfort with its own private lagoon, beaches, restaurants, cinemas, retail shopping, art gallery, spas and conference facilities. Its out of the world design is magnetic enough to deliver a spell-bounded experience to visitors. (Photo Credit: Sybarite)

9. Foldable hotel pods

Designer: m3 Architects, London

Estimated project cost: $72 to $104 million

The foldable and fully transportable pods are for those traveling geeks who find it hard to shun all the amenities of their luxurious life. You can move the pods to exotic locations around the world and the amazing concept abodes will come with ‘Active’ walls and floors where guests can focus images of their choice and a disposable unit to care of all waste.

8. The hotel Burj al-Arab

Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Designer: Tom Wright (WS Atkins PLC), Khuan Chew

Status: Complete

Estimated project cost: $650 million

Cost per person: $1,000 to over $28,000 per night, $75 to have a glimpse from inside

Considered, unofficially, the world’s first and only 7-star hotel, the Burj al-Arab is a truly the most luxurious hotel imaginable and hence we couldn’t help including it in this list of futuristic hotels, which also perhaps triggered architects around the world to look beyond the fence.

The tallest, 321-metres (1,053 ft), hotel, designed as a sail of a dhow, is constructed on an artificial island 280-metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach. The hotel boasts of the world’s tallest atrium, which is 180-meters (590 feet) tall.

The suspended helipad on the top adds to the grandeur of the hotel. The lavish interior skillfully mingles the best of design ethics from both the east and the west. The 8,000 square meters of 22-carat gold leaf and 24,000 square meters of 30 different types of marbles give the hotel an enigmatic touch.

The 28 double-story floors of the hotel accommodate 202 luxury suites with prices ranging from $1,000 to over $28,000 per night (for the Royal Suite). The hotel also features 8 restaurants, including bars and lounges, latest business, conferencing, fitness and recreational facilities. Carved in the midst of white beaches and the blue waters of the Arabian Gulf, the Burj Al Arab is a dream come true.

7. Waterworld



Location: Songjiang, China

Designer: Atkin’s Architecture Group

Status: Concept

This spectacular design by Atkin’s Architecture Group deservedly won the first prize award last year in an international design competition. The 400-bed resort hotel features underwater public areas, guest rooms, cafes, and restaurants. The major attraction is the extreme sporting facilities including a luxurious swimming pool, rock climbing and bungee jumping.

6. The Poseidon Undersea Resort



Location: Fiji, The Poseidon Mystery Island

Designer: Bruce Jones

Status: Under construction, will be completed by September 2008

Estimated project cost: $105 million

Cost per person: $15,000 per week

Our pursuit of unique spaces now goes straight 1,200-square feet under the sea in the lap of Poseidon undersea resort. The world’s first underwater resort will be ready by the end of next year with breathtaking coral reefs where you can literally immerse yourself.

Surrounded by 5,000-acre lagoon, the Bruce Jones’ Poseidon Mystery Island offers luxurious 550 square feet large suites.

Not only this, the Poseidon Resorts website says, “the first 1,000 guests will have their names permanently inscribed on two monuments one on the island, and one on the floor of the lagoon.” Now, that’s incredible!

Tourists can indulge in submarine piloting, deep reef excursions, scuba diving, sea track on the sea floor, water sports, para-sailing, cave exploration, and much more.

5. The Hydropolis: A self-acclaimed 10-star underwater hotel



Location: Dubai

Designer: Joachim Hauser, Crescent Hydropolis Resorts

Estimated project cost: $500-million

The Hydropolis Undersea Resort, especially designed keeping in mind that we’re around 60% water, endeavors to deliver the serene beauty of the ocean in its true colors. The one of its kind resort will encompass a whopping 1.1-million-square-foot of area offering shopping mall, ballroom, island villas, restaurant, high-tech cinema and surprisingly, a missile-defense system for your security 60-feet underwater.

Tourists can enjoy their stay in 220 theme suites within the submarine leisure complex. It is one of the largest contemporary construction projects in the world, covering an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London’s Hyde Park.

The resort is designed with a petal-like retracting roof to organize open-sky events.

Around 150 firms are involved in the project, which is expected to complete this year if all technical, land, and financial challenges are met, but it’s delayed as per the latest reports. Following the line and determined of the success of the Hydropolis, Crescent-Hydropolis is now planning a chain of underwater hotels around the world.

4. The Lunatic Hotel: Hotel on the Moon

Designer: Hans-Jurgen Rombaut, Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG)

Status: Blueprint ready, will take real shape by 2050

Orbiting in space seems more thrilling but Moon brings in a nostalgic aura. Perhaps, the Lunatic Hotel concept will serve it all with spectacular views sprinkled with joys of low gravity and an alien feeling. Designer Hans-Jurgen Rombaut of the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture in the Netherlands is quite optimistic to complete the dream project by 2050.

The ‘sensation engine’, as the designer calls it, will allow tourists to indulge in low-gravity games with the help of two 160-meters high slanting towers. The towers will be equipped with teardrop-shaped ‘habitation capsules’ which will serve as spaceship like suits for tourists.

The 50-cms thick hull made of Moon rock and layers holding water will protect inhabitants from the harsh lunar environment including extreme temperatures and lethal cosmic rays and solar particles. If the whole concept comes out successful, we can expect a real lunar village too. (Photo Credit: NASA)


3. Aeroscraft: The flying luxury hotel of tomorrow

Designer: Igor Pasternak (Worldwide Aeros Corporation), Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG)

Status: Prototype under development

The ‘Aeroscraft’ is a gigantic 400-ton blimp designed to carry passengers in its spacious luxury cosmos onboard. The flying hotel with an area equal to two football fields hangs in air with 14 million cubic feet of helium, huge electric and hydrogen fuel cell powered propellers and six turbofan jet engines. The hotel can accommodate 250 passengers driving them at a speed of 174 miles per hour up to 6, 000 miles.

Flying 8,000 feet above in the air, the 165×244x647 feet airship will provide tourists hi-tech amenities including casino, restaurants and staterooms.

Designer Igor Pasternak has also plans to float a cargo-carrying version too once the project takes off. (Photo Credit: WATG)

2. Galactic Suite

Designer: Xavier Claramunt of ADD+ARQUITECTURA

Status: On hold, prototype is ready

Designer Xavier Claramunt has tried to imbibe things especially to whet a adventurer’s dream with the Galactic Suite which will have around 22 rooms, measuring 7X4 meters, free of straight lines or angles and huge windows. It is termed as the first global project of its kind, next to Robert Bigelow’s space hotel. Different capsules will act as bars, restaurants, reception, and more.

The prototype is still waiting for investors to shell out their fortunes to make this project a reality.

1. Commercial Space Station Skywalker: The inflatable space hotel



Designer: Bigelow Aerospace, Las Vegas

Location: 515-kms above Earth

Status: The human space complex will be accessible by 2015

Estimated project cost: $500 million

Cost per person: $1 million a night

Certainly, we’ll have to stop this constant to and fro journey and make space our permanent base. And to make this a reality, the assembling of ‘CSS Skywalker’ kicked off with the launch of ‘Genesis I’ from Russia mid last year. Solar cells will power the inhabitable complex made of various sections that will inflate to take their real form in space. The sections or rooms of the CSS will allow rockets to dock. In future, the modules will be used as basis for space yachts and moon cruisers.

With a volume of 1,500.00 m3 and mass of 100,000 kg, the CSS Skywalker will have a maximum diameter of 30.00 m (98.00 ft).

The concept is a big challenge while it tests inflatable technology and fights to survive in hazardous conditions. Hope it’s made to face the wrath of the meteorites, though the hull of each module is made of three protective layers with an outer 18-inch-thick shield made of alternating woven graphite composite and foam to protect against orbital debris.

Rules To Driving In Dubai

1. If your road map is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and get a new one.

2. If you are in Rashidiya and your map is one day old, then it is already obsolete.

3. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Dubai has it's own version of traffic rules, which can be summarized as "Hold on and pray!"

4. If it is your priority to cross, forget it and wait.

5. There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dubai . Everyone drives like that.

6. When you plan to get a new car, ask first about its acceleration from 80 to 160 Km/h (recommended: 3 seconds). Very important if you frequently use the Emirates Road

7. All directions start with Sheikh Zayed Road , which has no beginning and no end.

8. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 AM to 1:00 PM, The evening rush hour is from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM .

9. Thursday's rush hour starts Wednesday morning.

10. If you slow down at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended and then given a ticket by the Dubai Police.

11. If you are the first one at the intersection, when the light turns green ignore the car honking behind you and count to five to avoid crashing into one of the cars running the red light in cross-traffic.

12. Construction on all main roads is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment. (Sorry for the inconvenience)

13. All unfamiliar sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we must be in Sharjah!"

14. Car horns are actually toys for big boys.

15. Anyone in a Land Cruiser, Tuned Patrol, jeep or Mercedes with tinted windows has the right of way. Period!

16. If you are driving a Corolla, Sunny, or another small Japanese car, stay on the far right lane. No comment!

17. Most roads mysteriously change names as you cross intersections.

18. To ask directions, you must have good knowledge of Hindi/ Malayalam

19. A trip across town will take a minimum of four hours, although Sheikh Zayed Road has an unposted minimum speed of 150 Km/h.

20. It is sobering to realize that local Arabs are taught how to drive by Malyalyee.

21. 18 wheeler trucks are one of the fastest vehicles in Dubai ; they can do 120 Km/h on Hatta-Oman Road when fully loaded.

22. The minimum acceptable speed on the Emirates Road is 160 km/h. Anything less is considered downright sissy.

23. Al Khail Road is Dubai's daily version of NASCAR.

24. Dubai Autodrome has a new extension: The Emirates Road.

25. WELCOME TO THE UAE!

Random Time Infinite Wall Clock

The Rnd -Time Infinite Wall Clock may just be the most unique / annoying clock ever conceived. The interesting thing about this clock is that its not really concerned with actually telling time. In fact, “Rnd_Time” stands for “Random Time” which makes sense given the fact that the numbered cubes can be placed randomly on a wall with little or no attention paid to sequence.

The concept is certainly interesting and the style is very contemporary cool, but one has to wonder why there are so many timepieces coming out that make telling time difficult or impossible.

Space Ads

While NASA certainly has its share of funding troubles, we doubt that the money-making solution now being proposed by California Congressman Ken Calvert is the best way to get them the dough they need. Currently the ranking Republican on the House Space and Aeronautics subcommittee, Calvert wants NASA to get in the business of selling advertising on its spacecraft and other gear -- an idea that others have proposed with less of a straight face in the past (as seen above). While it's unclear just how much interest the proposal has garnered, The Register reports that the idea has been enough to raise the ire of "high altitude advertising" firm JP Aerospace, which feels that NASA would be unfairly muscling in on their turf.

Tubular Clock Tells Time With Words

Like Art Lebedev’s (vaporware) Verbarius clock, this unique timepiece uses words to describe the current time, rather than using numbers.

Time is displayed on the Tubular Time Clock in phrases such as “quarter past four” and “five minutes past six” instead of the pedestrian “4:15″ and “6:05.” The clock mounts to any wall, and runs on a single AA battery. It’s quite large, measuring in at 33″ wide and a 4.5″ diameter, so you’ll need some space to hang this sucker.

The Tubular Time Clock can be found at Uncommon Goods for $160.

Jet Airways To Offer It’s Travellers Private Cabin to India

Luxury travel is getting more and more luxurious. If you don’t own your personal aircraft then too, you can now enjoy a luxury flight with facilities like those of a personal aircraft. We have earlier told you about Etihad and Emirates airways luxury seating with 180 degrees swivel, personal LCD video screen, mood lighting, built-in massage facility and fold-and-swivel meal tables and the Delta airways Lie-Flat Seats, but Jet Airways has gone a step higher with its private mini cabins. Yes..if you are a frequent traveler from London to India then you can now get as comfortable as it could get!



Jet Airways will be offering its passengers a luxury service dubbed the “Orient Express of the Skies” that offers complete privacy with mini cabins with colonial-style sliding doors. The exclusive mini-suites boast 26 square foot room, an 83-inch bed, a wall-mounted 23-inch flat screen TV with more than 200 hours of the latest movies and dining for two. Each passenger will even has his or her personal hanging wardrobe as well as office facilities for working. Meals are served on hand-painted Bernardaud porcelain dinnerware with Dom Perignon and Krug among the champagnes on offer. There’s also a communal bar.



And all this royal treatment would set you back for £4,422. Each of Jet Airways’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will have eight of these luxury suites and the first flight takes off from Heathrow on May 5.

Absolut-ly Over

I didn’t know to feel when I read that Absolut is retiring it’s iconic ad campaign after 25 years of abundancy, especially as much of Absolut’s fame is directly tied to it. The campaign, featuring an object shaped like the distinctive Absolut bottle in the center and a title “ABSOLUT ____” at the bottom, started around 1980 and has had more than 1500 ads, making it the longest running ad campaign ever.

The Absolut Vodka bottle has become something of a modern icon, and the Absolut ads, having stretched the boundaries between advertising and art, have already been collector’s items for years. I’m sure their value as such will increase exponentially with the retirement of the campaign, making me wish that I buy/bought magazines.

Over the past 25 years, chosen artists, including sculptors like Arman, crystal glass designers like Bertil Vallien, fashion designers like David Cameron and John Galliano, were given complete creative freedom, the only stipulation being that the bottle must be visible in the work. The campaign has even made it to an 11 meter high ice-sculpture done in the Swiss Alps, and features works of every conceivable style from Dali-type surrealism to cowboy-kitsch.

Naturally, the campaign also has a golden star in the hall of fame of the advertising and design industries. Absolut is to date one of only three brands inducted into the American Marketing Association’s Hall of Fame, along with Coca-Cola and Nike. It is also the only product in history to have won both the most coveted prizes in the US advertising business – the Effie and the Kelly awards. On a scholastic level, complete design courses that dissect the campaign and nothing else are offered in several art schools. Even locally, I have seen the campaign make its appearance on slideshows and presentations a lot of times in my design classes at the UofJ.

Of course every campaign has to see an end, but 25-years is such a long run that I’m actually absolut sad to see it go.

Meshary Alruwaih

I just opened The Kuwait Times web site to check if Meshary Alruwaih (the writer who wrote "How To Survive 10 Days In Riyadh") had any other articles about Saudi Arabia, and i just found out that he has an article "Saudi Arabia...I'm Sorry."

I felt waay better knowing thaat he didn't mean all the things he wrote earlier and I am sorry for calling you A Racist...

Here is the article he wrote quoting it from the newspaper's site:

"You know how sometimes you joke with a friend by teasing him or trying to be sarcastic about the way he looks or behaves? Usually you mean no harm, and certainly you didn't mean any disrespect. Still your harmless humour can end up causing discomfort to your close friend to the point that you see it through his eyes. Suddenly you realise how silly your remarks were, and you swiftly apologise.

I would like to apologise to Saudi Arabia.

A few months ago I wrote an article titled "How to survive 10 days in Riyadh" describing how boring my visit to Riyadh was, and making 10 basic rules to help me survive the boredom and depressing atmosphere of that city.
At the time it was published it did not really draw a lot of attention. But about a week ago, my article was all over the net sent to people as an attachment and posted on many forums.

I started getting tons of emails from Saudi guys, slamming my article. Some were respectful, others could not control their temper. But all agreed that the piece was offensive to their city of Riyadh and to the whole kingdom.

For that, I am sorry. In no way do I hold any negative feelings toward their country, the kingdom is dearly held in the hearts of many Kuwaitis, including mine, and its role during the Iraqi invasion is never forgotten and will always be appreciated.

Let me tell you something, writers love attention, they love their articles to be talked about, whether positive or negative, it does not matter as long as their names are mentioned and their ideas are being circulated, clearly that article achieved just that for me.

But I don't want to be known as the guy who talked ill about Saudi Arabia, I hate to have my name associated with any offences toward the capital of our big sister, if attacking the kingdom is the way to popularity, then I do not want it.

I see writing as a career, not something that I do when I have spare time so I'm aiming big, I dream and I aim for a future in this career, And believe me I do not want to be remembered one day as the guy who assaulted his neighbours.
So, yes, I do regret writing that article, still I do not regret the experience that taught me many lessons including the need to apologise when you offend a person or a society.

Apologies are not easy to make as they involve dignity and pride. But when you are wrong you are wrong, and when you apologise to your brothers they understand that your apology is not because you are weak. On the contrary, it's because you have the strength to come out publicly and say I'm sorry.

And certainly I do not regret the opportunity that allowed me to get to know a few Saudi guys who kindly explained to me how hurtful my words were and even invited me to Riyadh to see its good side and change my idea about it, very kind and generous invitations indeed. But I do know the good side of Riyadh and the kindness of its people. Maybe next time I'll visit Riyadh I'll come up with a new article titled 'How to enjoy 10 days in Riyadh.' "

Dubai...

Dubai is like "Singapore on steroids", I just read that in an interesting blog An Englishman in Saudi Arabia.

You Are A Racist

ok i just read your article "How to survive 10 days in Riyadh" and please read my comments

1- "you will end up watching animal planet" am pretty sure that the TV channels you get in riyadh are the same ones you get in kuwait, so if you end up watching animal planet then i think you enjoy it.

2- "spend long hours in your hotel room" if you don't have friends to go out with then that is also a problem with you. Try to be more interesting. As for going out, tell me where do you want to go:
Cinema: buy a movie and watch it in your room as you said.
Clubbing: Riyadh is in KSA and KSA is an Islamic country.
Cafes & restaurants: Riyadh has millions of cafes and restaurants.
Malls: there is all kind of shops in Riyadh.
Unless of course looking at girls in the mall is something you enjoy.

3- There are lots of people who go to Riyadh, so please don't generalize...and Kuwait isn't a really hot spot for travelers in case you haven't noticed.

4- You always have a near death experience when you drive, goo take driving lessons. All countries have stupid drivers and good drivers.

5- PRAY!! you should pray everywhere...and riyadh doesn't have any temptations, that is actually the first nice thing you said about Riyadh so thanks...as I said KSA is an Islamic country so if u accept that the same country that accommodates Makah and Medina, accommodates clubs and alcohol, you have another problem.

6- This one you just wrote to make the article look longer. It’s useless.

7- You are a MAN. You smoke 30 cigarettes a day. Something you want to show off.

8- Well Riyadh tries to be shisha free, whats wrong with thaat. It values its citizen’s lives.

9- You Italian men mashalla 3aleekom...this one show that you don't even qualify a writer since you don't like God’s creation.

10-"flawless" i won't say anything more because am not a racist and i accept that each country has a good side and a baad one.

I have to saay that after knowing that a newspaper could publish such article written by an obviously untalented writer is just something wrong. And this is not the first time, what about the Aprils fool prank...is thaat a newspaper or a comic book and to post it on the first page...mashalla. If u dont have something to fill your pages please reduce the number of pages then. Don’t fill it up with crap.
