Techno-Bling:

‘Technology that makes the transition to highly visual, over-the-top jewelry.’

Thank you, Urban Dictionary.

So, have you seen this yet? Aliph have just released their sexy new blingin’ bluetooth headset. Wear this and you can look just that teensy less like pretentious twats and more like bejewelled crazy people who talk to themselves. And I guess it works ok, since it’s being touted as ‘CNET’s Highest Rated Headset. EVER’ (their caps, btw).

Personally, I’m holding out for Super Talent’s gold USB drive (at left). You know, you really shouldn’t have to download your Brad Pitt pics and Lady Gaga Mp3s important documents on anything less than an 18-carat memory stick.

For lovers of Swarovski crystal, there’s iriver’s shiny new N15-Jewel, a schmick MP3 player that sparkles while you groove (right):

I suppose everyone’s by now heard of the 24-carat MacBook? It’s probably a bit passé by now, isn’t it? Which makes me wonder whatever we’ll all do once we’ve loaded up on our 2-minute bling wonders… God knows how quickly fashion changes & how rapidly today’s toy wonder becomes obsolete!

If you do tire of your GoldVish Le Million, your 201-carat Chopard, or your Bugatti Veyron, never fear… TG Gold-Super-Markt have just released their GOLD To Go gold bullion vending machine.

“..the GOLD To Go ATM is located (unsurprisingly) in the lavish Emirates Palace Hotel, in Abu Dhabi. Now, when hotel guests want to exchange their cash for something a little more economically-stable, they won’t have to bother with gold store clerks or business hours…”

Not a minute too soon, if you ask me! How many times have you been out and found yourself embarrassingly short of bullion?
