Got an extra $100 mill laying around and can’t decide if you want to blow it on a private tropical island in the South Pacific, or a couple-hundred foot mega-yacht? According to Yacht Island Designs, you don’t have to decide. They’ll build you a yacht that’s a traveling island paradise.

While it only exists as a concept right now (this isn’t a boat you want to build on spec and see if anyone is interested), their Tropical Island Paradise takes all the over-the-top luxury you can imagine, and puts it together in a design that can only be described as Disney’s Pleasure Island gets re-imagined by Tony Stark. I can see James Bond villains lining up right now…

According to England-based Yacht Island Designs’ website, “The brief for this concept was to create an idyllic, floating island, with all the features of a tropical island getaway built into the design.” Hence the bridge-top volcano waterfall that feeds into the massive lagoon pool. (The back of which is made of glass, so you can swim and look out at the sea. Naturally.)

Since you probably won’t be sailing on this isle-yacht alone, there are plenty of guest cabanas, spots for outdoor eating, and a deploy-able beach deck “which allows access to the sea for various water sports and sea level relaxation.” As if having your own private volcano waterfall isn’t relaxing enough…

Besides the number of luxury guest suites, media room, library, game room, gym, and helicopter landing pad, you, as the owner and king of your own island nation, get a two-deck suite carved out of the front of the volcano so you can survey your domain from your bedroom.

I bet Zuckerburg is rethinking that $100 million donation to the Newark schools about now.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dead at 56

admin — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:49:30 +0000

Steve Jobs — the mega-genius who co-founded Apple Inc. — has died … reps for the company have confirmed.

Jobs was 56.

Jobs suffered a number of serious health issues over the years. In 2004, he announced he had a rare — but treatable — form of pancreatic cancer … and had a tumor successfully removed from his pancreas later that year.

TMZ posted a picture of Jobs two days after he resigned as Apple’s CEO in August, clearly showing a deterioration in his health.

In 2009, Jobs received a liver transplant after announcing his “health-related issues were more complex than I thought.”

Jobs is survived by his wife, Laurene, and 4 children.

4:50 PM: Apple has released a statement … reading, “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.

Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”

5:10 PM: Apple CEO Tim Cook sent an email to Apple staff, which reads:

Team,

I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.

Tim

Do Men and Women Cheat? (INFOGRAPHIC)

admin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:57:56 +0000

Having an affair or cheating on a partner happens more often than most people want to admit however how much do men and women really cheat? If you are worried that you may be the only one cheating then guess again. Almost anywhere you look there is bound to be someone who has cheated before!

Do Men and Women cheat?

Almost every reason has been used to end a relationship or cheat on a partner including some of our favorites such as the improper elevation of the toilet seat, the stupid names she has for her puppy, or an inability to reach consensus on brands of coffee beans. However one of the main reasons to cheat has always been dissatisfaction in the bedroom. How many men and women cheat – well, let’s go over some stats of love and hate, fantasy and reality.

About 53% of folks will have at least one affair in their lifetime. The other 47% are denying their nature, since humans aren’t naturally monogamous.

60% of married men will have an affair during their marriage, compared to 50% of married women. (Knowing what percentage of those affairs are with other married people would probably cause the divorce rate to spike exponentially)

Will your Partner find out?

70% of married women say they didn’t know about their spouse’s extramarital affairs, while only 54% of married men say the same thing. Looks like ladies’ suspicions are strong, but guys’ certainty is stronger. (Or maybe lots of guys like to share their ladies. Knowing about it does not necessarily equal condemning it!)

Women are pretty perceptive about a cheating partner: about 85% of women were correct in their assumptions of their partner cheating, while only half of suspicious men were correct about their partner’s cheating. Those of you with female partners had better cover your tracks well, suggest an open relationship, or join the 47% of people who won’t have an extramarital affair. (At least not one they’ll tell a surveyor about.)

Common Fantasies for Men and Women

For men, common fantasies include sex with two women (two heads are better than one, after all) and bondage: for him and her! Men want to be tied up, smacked around a little, and talked dirty to, so shy ladies take note and read on.

Common fantasies for women are being a dominatrix (there’s some clear communication going on here between men and women, given the male bondage fantasy) and having sex with a stranger. Women like to shred their inhibitions just like men, and sometimes they feel the best way to do this is with some naughty no-strings-attached action. Bonus points if they get to spank the stranger.

Sexual fantasies for married couples include role playing (costumes aren’t just for Halloween, you know… especially all the sexy ones that are so rampant) and voyeurism (watching others engaged in sexual activity, whether it’s your own partner alone, another couple, or the desire to be watched by others).

Online Love

While just 31% of people have had an online conversation as a precursor to in-person sex, 38% of people have had explicit sexual exchanges online. So that 7% discrepancy is probably made up of people who couldn’t stop laughing at their partner’s poor attempt at cybersex.

50% of people have moved online conversations to the telephone. (Moans typed “mmmm” don’t really do it for most people.)

46% of men consider online affairs to be adultery, and a shocking 57% of people have used the Internet to flirt – That’s more than the amount of people who will cheat, for those keeping track!

75% of married people think visiting an adult website is perfectly fine. For themselves. But if their partners were to ever… just kidding.

Sex with Co-Workers .. Hell, Yeah!

75% of men say they’ve had sex with coworkers, compared to 65% of women. This statistic shows that intra-office booty may be legally risky, but it is verifiably hot.

According to Playboy, 2/3 of women and 3/4 of men admit to thinking sexually about people at work, so straighten that tie and smooth down that skirt: might as well look your best.

Is Flirting Cheating?

86% of men admit to regular flirtation with the opposite sex, while 5% fewer women admit to the same thing. “Admit” is the key word here, because, come on, everybody flirts.

The Real Public Opinions

Half of all Americans think former President Clinton’s infidelity simply puts his morals on par with the typical married man. It’s unclear whether this is an insult to the average married man or a compliment to Clinton.

61% of people think adultery should not be a crime (because most of them have already done it, supposedly), while 35% of responders do think it should be criminalized, and 4% of people have no opinion. (How can one not have an opinion on that? Perhaps they were asleep.)

People Lie

Up to 37% of men and 22% of women admit to having affairs. If you refer back to the first percentage, you’ll see that quite a few more people are simply lying.

90% of Americans believe adultery is morally wrong. And most of them don’t seem to care, if you look back at all these statistics.

17% of American divorces are the result of infidelity. The other 83% are the result of the horrible wreckage and destruction of the marriage following the infidelity. Okay, that’s an exaggeration.

About 10% of affairs only happen once. We swear. It only happened once. It’ll never happen again, honest.

Slip Watch

Your wristwatch shouldn’t be very complicated with numerous options like the ones we have featured in our collection of luxury watches. This model called Slip Watches, created by design studio from Brooklyn Nonlinear Studio, is very simple but at the same time extremely stylish. The face of the watches crosses the wrist band at 20 degrees. This inferred movement gives the watch its unique character and makes it more ergonomic to read. Very interesting and creative watches.
